English Padded Girth

$124.94$156.00

This is a fabulous all-around leather girth for our English, Dressage and Hybrid Cruiser saddle models. We believe that girths should be as comfortable for the horse as possible. Minimal contouring is preferred, too much can actually cause extreme pressure on one side. Elastic on each end is also beneficial for comfort of both horse and human.

Description

Our recommendation for quality, comfort, performance and value. Crafted for us by our master saddle maker, utilizing fine English leather, with triple thick elastic ends, contoured shape, soft padding and roller buckles.

This is a fabulous all-around girth for our Dressage and Hybrid Cruiser saddle models. We believe that girths should be as comfortable for the horse as possible. Minimal contouring is preferred, too much can actually cause extreme pressure on one side. Elastic on each end is also beneficial. A girth should be snug so it becomes one with the saddle, but not uncomfortably tight. This also helps with slippage and stabilizes the saddle from bouncing on the back. You get a better distribution of pressure with the elastic on each end, too. No hardware should touch the horse’s side, and we believe that the short girth/long billet arrangement on our saddles provides more comfort for the horse. The buckles should be up as high as possible so they don’t interfere with the elbows, but still sit below the saddle flap and therefore avoid contact with your leg.. We prefer leather, (these are exquisitely soft leather) and the padding further contributes to the horse’s comfort. Our girths represent a mid-range price with other girths approximating this quality.

Sizing Guide

ABOUT GIRTH SIZE CHOICES: OUR SADDLE BILLETS ARE VERY LONG (Note: the billets on the Cruiser are 18”-19” long.): 32″ from the top of the billet strap holder to the bottom adjustment hole. Our high quality girths are available in black or brown and sizes range from 22 to 38 inches in 2 inch increments. All size girths are padded, shaped and have double stainless steel roller buckles at each end with triple thick elastic on each end. They are measured from buckletip to buckle tip. If you are in doubt about the size you need, we suggest you order a size lower, rather than higher than you think, because the elastic sewn at the bottom of the buckles will compensate. The padding continues up underneath the buckles to eliminate pinching.
