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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a girth on a horse?
A girth is the strap that fastens around the horse's barrel to keep the saddle secure. It attaches to the saddle on both sides and should sit in the natural girth groove without pinching behind the elbows.
How do I measure a horse for a girth?
Measure from the middle hole on one billet strap, under the horse behind the elbows, to the middle hole on the opposite side. This heart-girth measurement helps you choose the right girth length for your saddle and horse shape.
What is the difference between a short girth and a long girth?
Short girths are used with monoflap or dressage saddles where the billets sit lower, while long girths are used with saddles that have longer billet straps. Choosing the wrong length can affect fit and comfort.
What girth is best for a sensitive horse?
Many riders choose anatomical, sheepskin-lined, fleece or anti-gall girths for sensitive horses. Correct sizing, saddle fit and gradual girthing also help reduce discomfort in the girth area.
