Butet girths are crafted to pair elegant French leatherwork with practical comfort. Refined shapes, smooth edges and secure hardware help keep the saddle stable while allowing the horse to move freely—at home and in the ring.
Choose from contoured long girths for jump and GP saddles, short (dressage/monoflap) girths for long billets, and stud-guard belly girths for extra protection over fences. Central D-rings and snap hooks accommodate martingales or training aids where required.
Supple calfskin or grain leathers provide grip and a close, quiet feel. Thoughtful padding and rounded edges reduce rubs, while quality stitching and hardware are designed for long-term yard use.
Many models feature elastic at one or both ends for even tension and easy girthing. Roller buckles support smooth adjustments from the saddle and help protect the billets from wear.
Match girth type to your billets: long girths for short billets (jump/GP), short girths for long billets (dressage/monoflap). Measure the gap between the lower edge of the saddle flap and your horse’s elbow; aim for buckles to sit clear of the elbow on both sides.
After each ride, wipe sweat away and let the girth dry naturally. Clean with mild saddle soap and condition sparingly to maintain suppleness. Avoid heavy oiling and direct heat; check stitching and elastic regularly.

How do I choose between a long and a short Butet girth?
Use a long girth for jump or GP saddles with short billets, and a short (dressage/monoflap) girth for saddles with long billets. The aim is to position buckles away from the elbow for comfort.
When is a stud-guard (belly) girth useful?
It protects the underside from studs when jumping and can add stability for very keen horses. Choose a size that keeps the guard centred without restricting shoulder movement.
Calfskin or grain leather—what’s the difference?
Calfskin feels softer and grippier from day one, while grain leather is slightly firmer and typically more wear-resistant. Many riders pick calfskin against the horse with grain on high-wear areas.
How should I care for a Butet girth?
Wipe down after riding, clean with mild saddle soap as needed and condition lightly. Avoid over-oiling and heat, and inspect stitching and elastic for signs of wear.
