Horse Girths

At Equijump, we understand that a properly fitted, high-quality girth is essential for both rider safety and equine comfort. Our carefully curated selection of girths combines premium materials with innovative design features to deliver superior performance for every discipline.

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

Premium materials form the foundation of our exceptional girth collection. From supple leather girths that offer classic elegance and durability to innovative fleece girths designed for sensitive horses, each material is selected for its specific performance benefits. Our jumping girths feature reinforced stitching and ergonomic designs that ensure stability during technical courses, while our dressage girths provide the close contact essential for precise communication.

Leading manufacturers like CWD and Butet employ advanced construction techniques that distribute pressure evenly across the horse's barrel. The anatomically shaped designs work in harmony with your horse's natural movement, preventing restriction while maintaining saddle stability.

What safety features and testing standards are incorporated into our girth designs?

Every girth in our collection undergoes rigorous safety testing to meet international equestrian standards. Elastic ends are strategically placed to allow natural breathing while maintaining secure saddle placement. Premium brands like Kentucky incorporate innovative safety features such as breakaway capabilities and reinforced stress points.

Our sheepskin girths feature hypoallergenic materials and breathable designs that prevent friction and promote airflow, reducing the risk of girth galls and skin irritation. Each girth undergoes quality control inspections to ensure buckles, elastic, and stitching meet our exacting standards.

How can I ensure a proper fit and adjustment for my horse's girth?

Finding the perfect girth fit begins with accurate measurement and understanding your horse's conformation. Our expert team provides personalised fitting guidance, considering factors like shoulder movement, barrel shape, and discipline requirements. We recommend checking girth fit before every ride, ensuring even pressure distribution and proper alignment with the saddle's billet straps.

For horses requiring special consideration, our range includes anatomically shaped options that accommodate broad shoulders and deep girths. Regular fit assessments are essential as your horse's shape may change with conditioning and seasonal variations.

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

Proper care extends the life of your girth while maintaining its safety features. Clean your girth after every use, paying special attention to areas that collect sweat and dirt. Leather girths benefit from regular conditioning to prevent cracking and maintain suppleness, while synthetic materials should be cleaned with appropriate products to preserve their technical properties.

Store girths in a dry, well-ventilated area and inspect regularly for signs of wear, particularly around buckles and elastic sections. For our premium collections, we provide specific care guides to ensure optimal maintenance of specialized materials and features.

From competition venues in Wellington to training facilities in Lexington, we deliver premium girths to equestrians nationwide. Our comprehensive shipping service ensures your equipment arrives safely, with expedited options available for competition seasons. Experience the difference quality makes – explore our collection today and elevate your riding experience with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What girth brands do you stock?

We carry Kentucky Horsewear (sheepskin and anatomic patterns), CWD (FlexMotion, Belly Guard, Classic, Sheepskin Lining, Ipulse and monoflap-specific Contact Short) and Butet (Ergonomic, Stud and Curved Comfort Dressage). Kentucky covers anatomic and sheepskin construction; CWD and Butet cover the high-end French leather and calfskin range.
How do I measure for the correct girth size?

Measure from the bottom of one billet, under the horse, to the bottom of the other billet on a saddle that fits well, then add about 5cm-10cm so the buckles sit clear of the elbow on either side. Girths size in centimetres. Most brands use the same sizing convention; if you're switching brands, check the chart against your existing girth length.
What is the difference between a long and short girth?

A long girth is for traditional jumping, GP and dressage saddles where the billets sit short and the girth runs from billet, around the belly, to the other billet outside the saddle flap. A short (monoflap) girth is for monoflap jumping or dressage saddles where the billets sit long and the girth buckles on top of the saddle inside the flap. Check your saddle's billet length before ordering.
Should I choose anatomic, contoured or stud guard?

Anatomic and contoured shapes cut away material around the elbow to clear shoulder movement - the everyday default for most horses. A stud guard girth adds a raised front section to protect the horse's belly from front-shoe studs while jumping; if you ride with studs in front, choose stud guard. Sheepskin variants add comfort for sensitive or hot-skinned horses.
How should I care for a leather or sheepskin girth?

Wipe leather sections down after each use. Clean weekly with a mild saddle soap and condition sparingly with a quality leather balm. Sheepskin and wool sections benefit from a brush-out to clear sweat and bedding; use a sheepskin shampoo for a deeper clean. Kentucky and CWD both offer replaceable sheepskin covers so you can refresh just the sheepskin without buying a whole new girth.
Which girth suits my discipline?

For jumping, the CWD FlexMotion (with or without belly guard), Kentucky Anatomic and Butet Ergonomic Belly Guard are everyday defaults. For dressage and monoflap saddles, the Butet Curved Comfort Dressage and a sheepskin anatomic short girth from Kentucky are common choices. For hunters and showing, the CWD Classic, Kentucky Sheepskin and Butet Ergonomic give a more traditional look. Tell us your saddle and discipline and we'll shortlist.
