FAQs

What is the main benefit of the HyCOMFORT Cushion Girth?

The main benefit is enhanced comfort for the horse due to its cushioned design that encourages airflow and prevents chafing and rubbing.

What material are the buckles made of?

The buckles are made of strong, durable stainless steel with a roller mechanism for easy adjustment.

How do I know if I have the right size girth?

You should be able to comfortably fit two fingers between the girth and the horse's skin when it is fastened. The specific model is 137cm/54 inch.

Can this girth be used on any horse?

It is designed for general use and comfort on most horses, particularly those sensitive to traditional girths. Ensure you select the correct size.

How often should I clean the girth?

It is recommended to clean the girth regularly with a damp cloth after use to remove sweat and dirt, and to allow it to air dry.

What should I do if my horse seems uncomfortable with the girth?

First, double-check the fit and ensure it's not too tight. Also, check for any debris or damage on the girth or saddle area. Ensure the saddle itself is fitting correctly.

Is this girth suitable for jumping or intense work?

While designed for comfort and general use, its durable construction and secure fit make it suitable for various disciplines. However, always prioritize your horse's comfort and suitability for the activity.

Troubleshooting

Girth appears to be rubbing despite cushioning

Ensure the girth is clean and free of debris. Check that the saddle is fitting correctly and not causing uneven pressure. Verify the girth is positioned centrally and lies flat.

Buckles are stiff or difficult to move

Wipe the buckles with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or grit. Ensure the straps are not twisted where they enter the buckles. For persistent stiffness, a small amount of saddle soap or leather conditioner can be applied carefully to the buckle mechanism (avoiding contact with the girth material).

Cushioning feels compressed or less effective over time

Allow the girth to air out fully after use. Ensure it is not stored compressed. Regular gentle cleaning as per care instructions can help maintain material integrity.
