Girth Type: Standard English girth for all-purpose, jumping, and eventing saddles
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 and comfort.
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. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to air dry. 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, comfortable service.
Ideal Use Cases
This versatile synthetic fleece girth is perfect for all types of English riding from daily training through competition. Ideal for all-purpose riding, hunters, jumpers, eventing, schooling shows, and general pleasure riding. The soft fleece lining makes it especially suitable for horses with sensitive skin, those prone to girth galls, or horses who are cinchy or girthy. Excellent choice for riders who school multiple horses daily, as the easy-care synthetic materials withstand frequent use and washing. The practical design serves equally well for everyday training and showing, while the affordable price makes it accessible for riders at all levels. Perfect for lesson programs, training barns, and individual riders who want reliable comfort without high maintenance.
Horse Compatibility
Designed for horses wearing English saddles including all-purpose, close contact jumping, and eventing saddles. Suitable for all horse breeds and sizes that fall within the 36-56 inch girth measurement range, including ponies, Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, Quarter Horses, Arabians, and other sport horse breeds. The elastic ends make this girth particularly beneficial for horses with sensitive girth areas, those who are girthy or cinchy, horses who hold their breath during tightening, or those with barrel shapes that require flexible girthing. The synthetic fleece is ideal for horses with allergies to natural materials or those whose owners prefer easy-care equipment. Not suitable for dressage saddles with long billets, which require short dressage girths.
