About Kentucky girths

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.

Anatomic design & shoulder freedom

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.

Faux-sheepskin comfort

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.

Styles we stock

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.

Materials & details

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.

Fit & sizing

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.

Care & maintenance

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What Kentucky Horsewear girths do you stock?

We carry the Kentucky girth range across Anatomic, Sheepskin, Sheepskin Anatomic and Stud Girth patterns (in brown and black), plus a sheepskin anatomic short girth for monoflap saddles. Replacement Sheepskin Girth Covers for the Anatomic and Stud patterns are also stocked, so you can refresh the sheepskin without replacing the whole girth.
Are you an authorised Kentucky Horsewear dealer in Ireland?

Yes. Equijump Ltd. is an authorised Kentucky Horsewear stockist in Ireland. Girths ship direct from Kentucky with full manufacturer warranty.
How do I choose the right Kentucky girth for my horse?

The Anatomic shape is the everyday default - cut to clear the elbow and distribute pressure evenly. The Sheepskin variants add comfort and absorbency for sensitive horses or hot weather. The Stud Girth adds front-stud protection for jumping. The Sheepskin Anatomic Short Girth is for monoflap saddles. If your horse rubs or sweats heavily, sheepskin variants are usually the right call.
How do I size a Kentucky girth?

Measure the bottom of one billet, under the horse, to the bottom of the other billet on a saddle that fits well, then add 5cm-10cm so the buckles sit clear of the elbow. Kentucky girths come in standard centimetre sizing - check against your existing girth and we can confirm.
How should I care for a Kentucky girth?

Wipe leather sections down after each use. The sheepskin sections benefit from a brush-out to clear sweat and bedding, and a deeper clean with a sheepskin shampoo when needed. Replaceable sheepskin covers can be swapped without replacing the underlying girth - cheaper and quicker than a new girth when the wool is past its best.
Should I choose a regular girth or a stud girth?

A stud girth has a raised section at the front to protect the horse's belly from front-shoe studs while jumping. If you ride with studs in front, choose stud girth. If you don't, the standard Anatomic is lighter and slightly cleaner-looking.
Can I just replace the sheepskin section of my Kentucky girth?

Yes - the Sheepskin Anatomic Girth Cover and Sheepskin Stud Girth Cover are designed as replacement parts. They fit the matching Kentucky girth pattern and let you keep the leather backing and refresh just the sheepskin. Send us your existing girth model and we'll confirm cover compatibility.
