FAQs

How do I choose the right size?

Measure the distance between the girth billets on your saddle and choose the length that allows the girth to sit well above the horse's elbow.

Is this girth machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash with mild soap to protect the integrity of the elastic inserts and roller hardware.

Can I use this for competition?

While excellent for daily use and schooling, verify your specific discipline's equipment regulations before using in official competition.

What is the benefit of elastic on both ends?

Dual elastic helps maintain equal pressure distribution and allows the horse more freedom of movement compared to non-elasticized girths.

How often should I clean the girth?

Ideally, wipe down with a damp cloth after every ride to remove sweat and prevent skin irritation.

Troubleshooting

Buckles are difficult to slide

Check for debris or dried mud in the roller mechanism; rinse with water and ensure it is fully dry.

Excessive movement during riding

Verify that the girth is tightened evenly on both sides and that the saddle tree width matches the horse.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior moisture-wicking properties
  • Soft cushioning reduces risk of chafing
  • Elastic inserts allow for comfortable breathing
  • Easy-to-use roller buckle system
  • Durable construction for long-term daily use

Cons

  • Available in specific fixed lengths
  • Limited to brown colorway
  • Not intended for high-intensity competitive jumping

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper fit, measure your horse from the middle of the girth billet on one side to the same point on the other. Always ensure the girth is centered symmetrically. Compatibility is broad across most English general-purpose and jumping saddles that utilize standard long girth billets. For maintenance, remove sweat and grit after each ride with a soft brush. If the girth becomes heavily soiled, use mild soap and cool water, then allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the elasticity of the inserts.
