Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this girth suitable for all horse breeds?

Yes, its contoured design is meant to accommodate the anatomy of most horses, specifically those that require extra room around the elbow area.

Can I machine wash the Arma Anti-Chafe Girth?

Hand washing is recommended to maintain the integrity of the buckles and the shape of the cushioning.

Does this girth help prevent girth galls?

Yes, the breathable synthetic material and contoured shape are specifically designed to minimize friction and sweat, which are the primary causes of girth galls.

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure your horse from the last hole on the billet strap on one side to the last hole on the opposite side while the saddle is in place.

Are the stainless steel buckles safe for wet conditions?

Yes, stainless steel is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for use in varied weather conditions.

Troubleshooting

Girth feels stiff during initial use

Work the synthetic material gently with your hands or dampen it slightly with clean water to soften the fibers before first use.

Buckles are difficult to move

Ensure the roller is free of dried mud or grime; rinse with water and apply a tiny amount of food-grade silicone spray if friction persists.

Visible dirt accumulation on the inner padding

Use a soft brush and mild soap to scrub the inner fabric, ensuring all sweat residue is removed to prevent future chafing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Promotes freedom of movement for the horse
  • Reduces sweat accumulation via improved airflow
  • Prevents painful rubbing or chafing
  • High-quality, durable stainless steel hardware

Cons

  • Synthetic material requires consistent cleaning
  • Contoured shape must be positioned correctly to be effective
  • May require a break-in period for stiff new synthetic fabric

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper fit, position the girth so the contoured section faces forward toward the horse's elbows. When tightening, alternate sides to maintain even pressure on both billets. This girth is compatible with most standard English saddles. For maintenance, rinse the synthetic material with warm, soapy water after each use to remove sweat and prevent dirt buildup. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these may degrade the soft cushioning. Allow the girth to air dry completely in a shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking or warping of the material.
