FAQs

Can I put this girth in the dryer?

No, you should always air dry the girth to prevent the neoprene from becoming brittle or misshapen.

Is this girth suitable for sensitive-skinned horses?

Yes, the soft neoprene material is specifically designed to distribute pressure and reduce friction, making it a great option for horses prone to sores.

What is the best way to clean it daily?

Simply brush off dirt and sweat with a soft brush after each use to maintain breathability.

Does the non-slip material cause hair breakage?

The material is designed to be soft against the skin, but always ensure the girth is free of grit or sand before tightening.

Are the buckles rust-resistant?

The girth features robust, high-quality fittings designed for durability, though it is always best to wipe them dry if exposed to excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

Girth feels loose during the ride

Ensure the billets are pulled tight through the roller buckles before starting, and check the tension after the first few minutes of warm-up.

Material appears dirty or clogged

Run a cold, gentle machine wash cycle at 30 degrees and allow the girth to air dry completely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces pressure points to prevent girth sores
  • Breathable material keeps the horse cool
  • Non-slip design enhances saddle stability
  • Machine washable for convenient hygiene maintenance
  • Durable fittings and rollers ensure longevity

Cons

  • Material may show wear if not cleaned regularly
  • Not suitable for riders who prefer leather aesthetic
  • Must be matched carefully to the correct size

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper fit, measure your horse from the middle of the girth area on one side to the corresponding point on the other, ensuring you have enough length for the billets. Attach the girth by sliding the billets through the rollers on each end, ensuring the soft neoprene side is facing the horse's skin. To care for your girth, simply brush off loose hair or dirt after each ride. For a deep clean, place it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle at 30 degrees. Always air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the neoprene.
