Belly guard and stud girths for jumpers

If your horse jumps with studs in, a belly guard girth protects the sternum line from a caught front shoe. CWD's belly guard girth and Flexmotion jumping girth are built for exactly this, and Kentucky's stud girth does the same job in a different construction. For US hunter/jumper riders showing on the circuit, these are the girths built for the job rather than adapted to it.

Sheepskin and anatomic cuts

Kentucky's sheepskin girths suit thin-skinned or girth-shy horses; the anatomic girths are cut to free the shoulder. Butet's girths are the traditional leather option. Sizing is standard girth sizing; if you are between sizes, send your current girth measurement to info@equijumpltd.com and we will advise on length.

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.
