Size & Fit Guidance

Available Sizes: 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32 inches

Girth Type: Short dressage girth designed for dressage saddles with long billets

Measuring Instructions: Measure from the bottom of one saddle billet to the bottom of the opposite billet, going under the horse's barrel. This measurement indicates the girth size needed.

Fit Recommendation: Choose a girth that allows buckles to sit in the middle holes when properly tightened, providing adjustment room in either direction. The elastic ends provide additional flexibility for proper fit.

Care & Maintenance Instructions

Remove excess dirt and hair with a stiff brush before washing. Machine wash cold on gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners or bleach. Hang to air dry completely before storage. The synthetic fleece dries quickly and maintains its softness through repeated washing. Inspect elastic ends and stitching regularly for signs of wear. Check roller buckles to ensure smooth operation and remove any debris. Store in a cool, dry tack room away from direct sunlight. With proper care, this girth will provide years of reliable service.

Ideal Use Cases

This versatile dressage girth is perfect for all levels of dressage riding from beginner training through advanced competition. Ideal for daily flatwork sessions, dressage lessons, schooling shows, and recognized dressage competitions at all levels. The comfortable fleece lining makes it especially suitable for horses with sensitive skin or those prone to girth galls. Excellent choice for riders who school multiple horses daily, as the easy-care synthetic materials withstand frequent use and washing. The professional appearance meets dress code requirements for all dressage competitions while the practical design serves equally well for everyday training.

Horse Compatibility

Designed for horses wearing dressage saddles with long billets. Suitable for all horse breeds and sizes that fall within the 22-32 inch girth measurement range, including Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, Quarter Horses, and other sport horse breeds. The contoured shape accommodates various body types from narrow to wide-barreled horses. The elastic ends make this girth particularly beneficial for horses with sensitive girth areas, those who are girthy or cinchy, or horses who hold their breath during tightening. Not suitable for jumping saddles or all-purpose saddles, which require longer girths.
