Product Information

Full details

The Waldhausen Half Moon Long Girth is specifically engineered for equestrians working with round-bellied horses who struggle with saddle stability. By utilizing a unique half-moon shape and soft synthetic fur lining, it effectively prevents the saddle from sliding forward while maintaining a gentle feel against the horse's skin. While its non-elastic construction provides a consistent, secure fit, riders who prefer the extra give of elasticized girths should note this specific model provides a more rigid, traditional feel.

FAQs

Does this girth come in different lengths?

Yes, it is available in various sizes ranging from 110cm to 145cm to accommodate different horse builds.

Can I put this girth in a washing machine?

We recommend hand-washing the synthetic fur lining to prevent damage to the material and to keep the hardware in optimal condition.

Why is there no elastic in this girth?

The non-elastic design is intentional to provide a consistent, rigid hold for riders who prefer a secure, non-shifting saddle placement.

Is the synthetic fur removable?

No, the synthetic fur is integrated into the design to ensure a secure, slip-free fit against the horse.

Will the D-ring support a martingale?

Yes, the centrally located D-ring is designed to securely hold training attachments such as martingales or breastplates.

Troubleshooting

Girth feels too tight or too loose after mounting

Because there is no elastic, double-check your initial girth adjustment once the horse has moved slightly, as they may have been holding their breath during initial saddling.

Synthetic lining is becoming matted

Use a specialized soft-bristled brush to fluff the synthetic fur after each use and ensure the horse is free of excessive mud before girthing up.

Buckles are stiff

Clean any accumulated dried sweat or dirt from the roller mechanisms using a damp cloth; a small drop of lubricant can be applied if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent for preventing forward saddle slippage
  • Soft synthetic fur lining reduces skin irritation
  • Durable stainless steel hardware
  • Easy to integrate with training equipment via D-ring

Cons

  • No elastic inserts may feel restrictive to some horses
  • Specific shape is best suited for round-bellied conformation
  • Synthetic fur requires regular maintenance to stay clean

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, measure your horse from the middle of one girth buckle to the middle of the other. Because this girth lacks elastic, ensure you have the correct length to avoid over-tightening. To care for the girth, brush the synthetic fur lining after every ride to remove sweat and debris. If the lining becomes heavily soiled, hand-wash it with a mild, horse-safe detergent and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the material. Regularly check the stainless steel roller buckles for any grit buildup to maintain smooth operation.
