Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Sizing: Measure your horse to determine the correct girth size. Use a flexible measuring tape and ensure the horse is standing square. The girth should fit snugly but not restrict movement.

  3. Adjustment: Adjust the girth evenly on both sides for a balanced fit. Check the fit regularly, especially during the first few rides.
  4. Compatibility: This girth is compatible with most English saddles.
  5. Care: After each ride, wipe down the girth with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt. Allow it to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or detergents, as they can damage the material.
