Horse Girths for Comfort, Fit & Everyday Riding

Horse Girths Explained

A horse girth keeps the saddle secure by fastening around the horse's barrel behind the front legs. The right girth should suit your saddle type, your horse's shape and how much comfort and stability you need in the girth area, especially for horses that are sensitive, round or in regular work.

Dressage, Short & Anatomical Girths

Dressage girths and short girths are designed for monoflap saddles and closer contact setups, while anatomical girths are shaped to follow the horse's natural curve and reduce pressure behind the elbows. Many riders choose sheepskin, fleece-lined or padded options when they want extra comfort for horses that are girthy or prone to rubbing.

Stud Guards, Anti-Gall & Sensitive Horse Options

Stud guard girths help protect the horse when jumping with studs fitted, while anti-gall and elasticised styles can improve comfort and reduce pinching for horses with sensitive girth areas. Pair the right girth with a well-fitted saddle from our horse saddles collection and supportive saddle pads for a more balanced setup.

Western Cinches, Extenders & Girth Accessories

Western girths and cinches suit stock and western saddles, with neoprene, fleece and removable backing options for practical everyday use. Girth extenders, fleece tubes and replacement linings can refresh an existing girth without replacing the whole piece.
