FAQs
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure your current girth or the distance between the billets and choose the size that allows the buckles to sit comfortably above the elbow area.
Can this girth be used with jumping saddles?
Yes, the anatomical design is particularly well-suited for jumping to prevent restriction during takeoff and landing.
How often should I clean the waffle lining?
You should wipe the lining down after every ride to prevent the buildup of sweat and dried mud which can cause chaffing.
Are the elastic inserts replaceable?
The elastic is integrated into the construction; if the elastic loses its tension, the girth should be replaced for safety.
Does the girth come in colors other than black?
The Mackey Shaped Waffle Girth is currently manufactured in a standard black finish.
Troubleshooting
Girth feels too tight or too loose
Adjust the girth evenly on both sides using the elastic ends to maintain central alignment.
Visible dirt buildup in the waffle pattern
Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soapy water to gently scrub the textures after every ride.
Buckles appearing stiff
Wipe down with a leather cleaner and ensure no debris is lodged in the buckle mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, measure your horse from the middle of the girth billet on one side to the same point on the other. Ensure the girth is centered symmetrically on the horse's belly. After each use, wipe the waffle material with a damp cloth to remove sweat and debris, as trapped dirt can cause friction. Periodically check the stitching and buckle integrity. For deep cleaning, use a mild leather-safe soap on the straps and a soft brush to clear the waffle texture, followed by air drying away from direct heat sources to prevent material cracking.
