Kentucky Horsewear girths combine animal-friendly materials with smart, anatomic shaping. From faux-sheepskin linings for sensitive skin to sleek leather-look and microfiber options, they’re designed for stability, freedom of movement, and easy care.
Curved, cut-back zones let the elbows move freely while keeping the saddle steady through transitions. The low-bulk profile supports a quiet feel so the horse can open the shoulder on the flat and over fences.
Soft, skin-friendly faux sheepskin cushions pressure and helps prevent rubs on fine coats. Quick-dry, breathable fibers make it practical for daily training and show days.
Choose long girths for jump/close-contact saddles with short billets, short (dressage/monoflap) girths for long billets, and stud-guard (belly) girths for extra protection when jumping. Center D-rings or snap hooks simplify attaching martingales or training aids.
Durable outers with soft liners pair with quality elastic (one- or two-sided by model) and smooth roller buckles for even tension. Clean edges and discreet stitching deliver a polished, ring-ready finish.
Match the girth type to your billets. Size so buckles sit comfortably above the elbow on both sides (long girths) or just above the widest part of the ribcage (short girths). Keep belly guards centered and clear of 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 fasteners, use mild detergent, and skip fabric softener.
Shop Kentucky anatomic long, short, and stud-guard girths—available with faux-sheepskin comfort or streamlined, easy-care finishes to suit your horse and routine.
Which girth style do I need?
Long anatomic for jump/close-contact saddles (short billets), short anatomic for dressage/monoflap saddles (long billets), and a stud-guard for added belly protection over fences.
Faux-sheepskin vs non-sheepskin liner?
Faux-sheepskin offers plush cushioning for sensitive skin; non-sheepskin liners stay lower-bulk, often cooler, and tend to dry faster. Pick based on your horse and conditions.
How do I measure girth length?
Girth up as normal, note buckle position, then measure the strap path. Target buckles that sit above the elbow (long girths) or just above the widest part of the ribcage (short girths) with room left for adjustment.
Can I machine-wash these girths?
Many models and faux-sheepskin liners can be machine-washed—always check the label. Close straps, wash cool with mild detergent, avoid fabric softener, and air-dry.
