Butet girths combine refined French leatherwork with practical comfort. Clean lines, smooth edges, and secure hardware help keep the saddle stable while allowing natural freedom of movement—at home and at shows.
Choose contoured long girths for jump/close contact saddles, short (dressage/monoflap) girths for long billets, and stud-guard belly girths for extra protection over fences. Center D-rings and snap hooks make it easy to attach martingales or training aids.
Supple calfskin or grain leathers provide grip and a quiet, close feel. Thoughtful padding and rounded edges help prevent rubs, while quality stitching and hardware are built for daily barn use.
Many models include elastic at one or both ends for even tension and easier adjustments. Roller buckles help smooth girthing from the saddle and reduce wear on billets.
Match girth style to your billets: long girths for short billets (jump/CC), short girths for long billets (dressage/monoflap). Measure so the buckles sit comfortably above the elbow on both sides and the girth remains centered.
After each ride, wipe away sweat and let the girth air-dry. Clean with gentle saddle soap and condition sparingly. Avoid excess oil and heat; check stitching and elastic routinely.
Shop our selection of Butet girths—anatomic long, short, and stud-guard styles—and complete the look with coordinated stirrup leathers and bridlework.
Should I buy a long or a short Butet girth?
Use a long girth with jump/close contact saddles (short billets) and a short girth with dressage/monoflap saddles (long billets). Buckles should clear the elbow on both sides.
When do I need a stud-guard girth?
When jumping with studs or on very forward horses, the belly guard helps protect the underside and can add stability. Size it so the guard sits centered without restricting the shoulders.
What’s the difference between calfskin and grain leather?
Calfskin feels soft and grippy right away; grain leather is a bit firmer and typically more durable. Some riders like calfskin lining with grain on higher-wear areas.
How do I look after a Butet girth?
Wipe down after rides, clean with mild soap, and condition lightly. Keep away from heat and heavy oiling, and check stitching and elastic regularly.
