Horse Girths

Nearly thirty girths across three makers. CWD brings the Flexmotion jumping girth and its belly guard designs. Kentucky covers sheepskin, anatomic and stud girths. Butet covers the traditional leather side. Between BE fixtures, riding club shows and a winter following hounds, the girth works as hard as anything else on the horse, and this page is stocked accordingly - held in Ireland and delivered to mainland Britain in 1 to 2 working days.

Which girth for which job?

If you run BE or hunt through the winter, look at the belly guard and stud girths first. CWD's Belly Guard Girth and Kentucky's Stud Girth put material between studded front shoes and the horse's belly, for exactly those horses that snap their front legs up tight. For everyday flatwork and jumping, the Kentucky Sheepskin and Anatomic girths and CWD's Flexmotion carry the rest of the page, with sheepskin the usual pick for a thin-skinned or girth-shy horse.

Get the size right first

A girth that does not fit is no good to anyone, and girths are the item riders most often size by guesswork. Measure the girth the horse goes in now, buckle to buckle, and buy the same length; if the old girth is borrowed or stretched, send the measurement to info@equijumpltd.com and we will confirm the size before you order.

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.
