Eventing Girths

Eventing Girths

The eventing girths here are both short stud girths from Kentucky Horsewear, designed for the short billet straps on a monoflap eventing or jumping saddle and built to protect the horse’s belly from contact with studded shoes during the jumping phases. Both use an anatomic shape that follows the natural curve of the horse’s shoulder and elbow to allow freer forward movement over a fence, with strong elastic at both ends to distribute pressure evenly across the underside.

The Short Stud Girth is the base option, with the wide protective panel covering the belly area where the front feet swing through over a fence. The Short Sheepskin Stud Girth adds a synthetic sheepskin lining for softer skin contact and increased breathability, useful for thinner-skinned or sensitive horses spending longer periods in the girth across a competition day. Both are available in artificial leather rather than real leather, keeping them easy to wipe clean between phases at a one-day event or after schooling cross-country.

For a horse competing across all three eventing phases, these short stud girths pair with a separate short dressage girth for the test. The wider stud girths range covers long versions and additional sheepskin variants, the jumping girths section covers options without stud protection for showjumping at lower levels, and the full girths range covers every saddle and discipline alongside.
