Kentucky Horsewear girths pair animal-friendly materials with smart, anatomic shaping. From faux-sheepskin linings for sensitive skin to streamlined leather-look and microfiber options, they’re built for stability, freedom of movement and easy care.
Curved, cut-back zones help the elbows move freely and keep the saddle steady across transitions. The low-bulk profile supports a quiet contact so the horse can open the shoulder comfortably on the flat and over fences.
Soft, skin-kind faux sheepskin cushions pressure points and helps reduce rubs on finer coats. Quick-dry, breathable fibres make it a practical choice for daily schooling and competition.
Choose long girths for jump/GP saddles with short billets, short (dressage/monoflap) girths for long billets, and stud-guard (belly) girths for extra protection when jumping. Central D-rings or snap hooks make it easy to attach martingales or training aids.
Durable outer shells with soft liners are finished with quality elastic (one- or two-sided by model) and smooth roller buckles for even tension and tidy adjustments. Discreet stitching and clean edges deliver a polished look.
Match girth type to your billets. Size so the buckles sit clear of the elbow on both sides (long girths) or just above the widest part of the ribcage (short girths). The stud-guard should sit centred without restricting the shoulder.
Brush off sweat, wipe the outer and air-dry away from heat. Many faux-sheepskin liners and textile outers are machine-washable—follow the label, close fastenings, use mild detergent and avoid fabric softener.
Explore Kentucky’s anatomic long, short and stud-guard girths—available with faux-sheepskin comfort or sleek, easy-care finishes to suit your horse and your routine.
Which girth shape should I choose?
Use a long anatomic girth for jump/GP saddles (short billets), a short anatomic girth for dressage/monoflap saddles (long billets) and a stud-guard for added belly protection over fences.
Faux-sheepskin or non-sheepskin lining?
Faux-sheepskin adds extra cushioning and is kind to sensitive skin; non-sheepskin, low-bulk liners feel cooler and dry faster. Choose based on your horse’s skin and workload.
How do I measure the correct length?
Girth up normally, note where the buckles sit and measure the strap path. Aim for buckles to clear the elbow (long girths) or to sit just above the widest part of the ribcage (short girths) with several holes left for adjustment.
Are Kentucky girths machine-washable?
Many models and faux-sheepskin liners are—always follow the product label. Close the fastenings, wash cool with mild detergent, avoid softener and dry naturally away from heat.
