Horse Girths

Horse Girths

At Equijump, we understand that a girth is more than just a piece of equipment - it's a crucial safety component that demands the highest standards of quality and performance. Our carefully curated selection of girths combines premium materials with expert craftsmanship to ensure optimal security and comfort for both horse and rider.

How do quality materials and construction enhance the safety and performance of girths?

Superior materials and construction techniques are fundamental to girth safety and effectiveness. Our leather girths feature premium-grade leather that offers exceptional durability while maintaining flexibility. For specialised comfort, our sheepskin girths provide natural cushioning and pressure distribution.

Leading manufacturers like CWD and Butet incorporate innovative materials and ergonomic designs that work in harmony with your horse's natural movement. The anatomically shaped panels and reinforced stitching ensure stability while preventing pinching or restriction.

What safety features and testing standards are essential for high-quality girths?

Every girth in our collection undergoes rigorous safety testing to meet international equestrian standards. Key safety features include double-layered elastic ends for secure closure, reinforced roller buckles for smooth adjustment, and strategic padding placement for optimal pressure distribution.

Our jumping girths are specifically designed to meet discipline-specific safety requirements. Premium options from Kentucky feature innovative safety elements like their proprietary testing protocols and specialised elastic inserts.

How can riders ensure proper fit and adjustment of girths for optimal comfort and safety?

Achieving the perfect girth fit requires attention to detail and understanding of your horse's conformation.

Professional fitting guidance is available through our customer service team, who can help you select the most appropriate girth style and size for your horse. Regular fit checks and proper adjustment techniques are essential for maintaining safety and comfort throughout your riding session.

What are the key maintenance requirements and care instructions for long-lasting girth performance?

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your girth investment. For leather girths, we recommend daily cleaning and periodic conditioning to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking. Synthetic and fleece options should be cleaned according to manufacturer specifications to preserve their protective properties.

Inspection of stitching, elastic, and buckles should be performed before each use, with particular attention to high-stress areas. Our customer care team can provide detailed maintenance guides specific to your girth's materials and construction.
