Sizing Guide

Girth size is measured in inches and should be selected based on your horse's girth measurement and saddle type. To measure, place a soft measuring tape where the girth sits behind your horse's elbow, bring it up to where the girth attaches to the saddle, and multiply by two. Common sizing: 42-44 inches for small horses and large ponies, 46-48 inches for average horses, 50-52 inches for larger horses, 54-56 inches for large warmbloods and draft crosses. The elastic ends provide some adjustment range. For proper fit, the girth should be snug but not tight, allowing you to fit two fingers between the girth and your horse's body.

Care and Maintenance Instructions

The detachable fleece can be hand washed, machine washed on gentle cycle, or spot cleaned as needed. Remove fleece from leather girth before washing. Air dry fleece completely before reattaching. For the leather girth, wipe with a damp cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. Allow leather to air dry naturally away from heat sources. Apply quality leather conditioner regularly to keep leather supple and prevent cracking. The stainless steel roller buckles can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Inspect elastic, stitching, and buckles regularly for signs of wear. Store girth in a cool, dry location.

Understanding Detachable Fleece Benefits

Detachable fleece overlays provide important advantages for both horse comfort and tack maintenance. The fleece creates a soft, cushioned interface between the leather girth and your horse's skin, preventing rubbing and chafing. The ability to remove the fleece for cleaning is crucial for hygiene, as girths accumulate sweat, dirt, and bacteria. Regular washing of the fleece prevents skin irritation and keeps your horse comfortable. The detachable design also allows you to replace worn fleece without replacing the entire girth, extending the girth's lifespan and saving money.

Elastic Ends and Roller Buckles

The elastic on both ends of this girth provides important benefits for horse comfort and safety. Elastic allows the girth to expand and contract with your horse's breathing, preventing the restriction that can occur with non-elastic girths. This is particularly important during active riding when horses breathe more heavily. The stainless steel roller buckles feature a rolling mechanism that makes tightening and loosening the girth smoother and easier, reducing the effort required and allowing more precise adjustments. These features work together to create a girth that's comfortable for your horse and convenient for you.
