FAQs

How do I choose the correct size for my horse?

The length is measured from the end of each buckle to the end of the opposite buckle. Consult our sizing guide or measure your horse's current girth length carefully using this method.

Is the elastic only on one end?

Yes, this specific model features elastication on one end to aid in adjustment and provide flexibility.

Can this girth be used for all disciplines?

Yes, the HyCOMFORT Waffle Girth is suitable for general riding, training, and schooling across various equestrian disciplines due to its comfort and durability features.

How often should I clean the girth?

It is recommended to wipe the girth clean with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt, ensuring its longevity and the horse's comfort.

What material is the girth made from?

The girth is made from a super strong yet soft waffle-textured material that allows for airflow.

Are the buckles made of stainless steel?

Yes, the girth is equipped with stainless steel roller buckles for durability and rust resistance.

Troubleshooting

Girth feels too tight or too loose.

Re-measure the required girth length from buckle end to buckle end and compare with the product size. Ensure you are using the correct billet straps on the saddle and adjusting the roller buckles correctly. Aim for the two-finger rule.

Horse seems uncomfortable or shows signs of rubbing.

While the waffle material is designed for comfort, some horses may be sensitive. Check for any rough edges or debris on the girth. Ensure the girth is clean and correctly positioned. Consider if a different type of girth might be more suitable for your horse's specific needs.

Buckles are difficult to fasten.

Ensure the billet straps are not twisted. The stainless steel roller buckles are designed for smooth operation; if they feel stiff, check for any obstructions or dirt and clean them.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent airflow to prevent overheating.
  • The soft, textured material minimizes the risk of chafing and rubbing.
  • Elasticated end offers flexibility and ease of adjustment.
  • Durable stainless steel buckles ensure a secure fit.
  • Simple to clean and maintain.

Cons

  • The specific measurement method (end of buckle to end of buckle) requires careful attention.
  • May not be suitable for horses with very sensitive skin if the waffle texture is found to be irritating.
  • Only one end is elasticated, which might be a preference for some riders over fully elasticated girths.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the girth is the correct length for your horse. Measure the required length from buckle end to buckle end.
  2. Attach the girth to the saddle D-rings on one side.
  3. Gently bring the girth under the horse's belly towards the other side. Use the elasticated end for easier initial placement.
  4. Secure the stainless steel roller buckles to the billet straps on the saddle, adjusting for a comfortable but secure fit. You should be able to fit two fingers comfortably between the girth and the horse's side.

Compatibility:

This girth is compatible with most standard saddles that utilize billet straps.

Care:

  • Wipe Clean: Use a damp cloth to remove mud, sweat, and debris after each use.
  • Drying: Allow the girth to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place when not in use.
