The girth<\/strong> is an essential accessory to the saddle. Beyond maintaining the saddle on the horse’s back, the girth has a major role in its good balance. It sits behind your horse’s elbow and wraps around its belly. It is therefore in contact with different parts: the sternum, the ribs, the thoracic vertebrae and the different muscles that compose them. The strap has a direct impact on the movement<\/strong>. A bad riding girth could hamper your horse’s locomotion<\/strong>. There are two types of girth: short<\/a><\/strong> and long<\/strong><\/a>. Depending on your make of riding saddle, you won\u2019t need the same girth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Short girths<\/strong> are made for monoflap saddles<\/strong> that are attached much lower down than classic saddles. As such, short girths are mainly used for dressage <\/strong>and cross saddles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is also essential that your equipment corresponds to your horse’s morphology<\/strong>, and its sensitivity<\/strong>. Indeed, some horses are more or less reactive during strapping. This is why we strive to create girths ensuring the best comfort for your equine.
Knowing that there are many models to choose from depending on your saddle and\/or the discipline you practise, we offer you an overview of the different girths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
