Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this girth suitable for sensitive-skinned horses?

Yes, the soft synthetic fiber is designed for comfort, though using a buckle guard is highly recommended to prevent any chafing.

What is the width of the girth?

The Waldhausen String Girth has a width of approximately 8 cm.

Are the buckles made of rust-resistant material?

Yes, the girth is equipped with high-quality stainless steel buckles.

Can I use this for both long and short girth applications?

Yes, it is suitable for various configurations, but you should use the Waldhausen buckle guard (19084) if used as a short girth.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your horse's girth area while the saddle is positioned correctly and select the size that allows for even tension on both sides.

Troubleshooting

Girth feels stiff after washing

Ensure all soap residue is rinsed out thoroughly and allow it to dry completely; the synthetic material softens with use.

Buckles are difficult to fasten

Check that the girth straps are not twisted and ensure no dirt is stuck inside the buckle mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable synthetic fiber material
  • High-quality stainless steel buckles
  • Includes versatile attachment points for cruppers and straps
  • Soft texture reduces risk of skin irritation

Cons

  • Buckle guard required separately for short girth use
  • Synthetic material may require consistent cleaning to remain soft

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Waldhausen String Girth, ensure the stainless steel buckles are fully engaged with your saddle's girth straps on both sides before tightening. For compatibility, ensure you have measured your horse correctly, as this model is available in various lengths from 45cm up to 145cm. Care for this product involves regular inspection of the stitching and buckles. To maintain the material, rinse the girth with mild soap and water to remove sweat and dirt buildup, then allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent the synthetic fibers from becoming brittle.
