The Waldhausen Half Moon Girth is an essential piece of equipment for riders with round-bellied horses, specifically engineered to prevent the saddle from slipping forward. By offering a contoured, secure fit, it helps maintain saddle stability during movement, though riders should note that this specific model does not feature elastic inserts, resulting in a more rigid, non-stretch feel.

This model is designed to provide a firm, stable fit for horses where the saddle movement is a primary concern. A non-elastic girth prevents the saddle from shifting or 'bouncing' during intense movement.
No, the synthetic fur is fixed to the underside of the girth to ensure it stays securely in place during use.
Yes, its secure design is well-suited for jumping, provided it is properly fitted and tightened.
Measure your current girth that provides a proper fit. Since this girth does not have elastic, ensure you are measuring accurately to account for the lack of stretch.
The D-ring is designed for standard training aids like martingales or breastplates. Ensure your attachments are compatible with standard-sized D-rings.
Ensure the girth is positioned correctly with the curve facing forward and that the girth is tightened sufficiently on both sides.
Use a soft curry comb or specialized brush to gently detangle the fibers after each use to maintain loft and comfort.
Check for dried sweat or dirt in the roller mechanism and clean thoroughly with water and a soft cloth.
To ensure proper performance, ensure the 'half moon' curve is positioned toward the horse's front legs to follow their natural shape. Because this girth lacks elastic, ensure you are tightening it evenly on both sides to maintain saddle balance. To care for the synthetic fur, brush away sweat and dirt after every ride to prevent matting. If the lining becomes heavily soiled, clean it with a gentle, horse-safe detergent and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources. Always inspect the stainless steel buckles for any signs of debris that might hinder the roller mechanism.
