FAQs

What sizes are available?

The Shires Performance SupaFleece Dressage Girth is available in sizes 55cm (22"), 60cm (24"), 65cm (26"), 70cm (28") or 75cm (30").

What materials are used?

The girth is made with SupaFleece, a comfortable and easy-care fabric, with a flexible, stretch-resistant base reinforced with nylon webbing, stainless steel fittings, and elastic inserts.

How do I measure for the correct size?

Measure the distance from the middle of the billets on one side of your saddle, around the horse's girth area, to the middle of the billets on the other side. Add a few inches to ensure a comfortable fit.

Can this girth be used for other disciplines?

This girth is specifically designed for dressage. It may not be suitable for other disciplines due to the design and features.

How do I clean the girth?

Hand wash the girth with a mild detergent and allow it to air dry. Avoid using a machine dryer.

What are the benefits of the elastic inserts?

The elastic inserts allow for greater freedom of movement and help to alleviate pressure on the horse.

Are the buckles stainless steel?

Yes, the fittings are made of stainless steel to provide durability and prevent rusting.

Troubleshooting

Girth is slipping or moving excessively.

Check the fit and ensure the girth is properly tightened. The saddle may also need to be adjusted or the girth could be the wrong size.

Horse shows signs of discomfort or rubs.

Loosen the girth slightly. Check for any foreign objects under the girth. Ensure the fleece is clean and the correct size is being used.

Buckles are difficult to use.

Clean and lubricate the buckles. If the buckles are damaged, replace the girth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Position the girth on the horse, ensuring it is centered and the buckles are facing the correct direction.
