Horse Girths for Dressage, Jumping and Eventing
A well-fitting horse girth helps keep the saddle secure and should be chosen to suit the saddle, discipline and individual horse. Our collection includes long and short girths for everyday riding, dressage, jumping and eventing, alongside anatomic and stud-girth designs.
Choose from leather, synthetic and sheepskin-lined options, with different shapes and elastic configurations available across the range. Stud girths and stud guards provide broader underside coverage for jumping, while standard and short styles support a wider range of saddles and disciplines.
The Kentucky Sheepskin Girth is an everyday riding option with a soft lining against the horse’s skin. Elasticated at both ends and machine washable, it offers a practical balance of comfort and easy care.
For a more traditional show-ring look, consider the Kentucky Sheepskin Anatomic Girth. It combines an anatomic artificial-leather construction with a soft, detachable artificial-sheepskin lining. The lining is machine washable, and replacement sheepskin covers are available online and in store.
For saddles requiring a short girth, options include the Kentucky Horsewear Anatomic Short Girth and the Kentucky Horsewear Sheepskin Short Girth. Both use anatomic shaping designed to allow freedom around the elbows, while the sheepskin-lined style adds a soft layer against the horse.
For jumping and eventing, the collection also includes Kentucky stud girths. The Kentucky Horsewear Short Stud Girth is suited to monoflap saddles, whereas the Kentucky Horsewear Leather Stud Girth – Brown is a longer design suited to GP saddles.
The Kentucky Horsewear Sheepskin Anatomic Short Girth provides another short, anatomically shaped option. It follows the horse’s natural movement, is easy to maintain and is supplied with two detachable sheepskin covers.
With several shapes and materials available, take time to compare the needs of the horse, saddle and discipline. The correct fit is important for keeping the saddle secure without unnecessarily restricting movement.
For greater freedom around the elbows, look for a girth with a more advanced cut, often described as anatomic.
A sheepskin-lined girth may be worth considering for a horse prone to rubbing, provided the overall fit is correct and the lining is cared for as directed.
A stud girth or stud guard provides broader underside coverage when a shod horse folds its front legs over a jump. This can be particularly relevant during show jumping and eventing on grass when studs are used.
The collection covers options for everyday riding, dressage, jumping and eventing. Please contact us if you need help choosing a horse girth or stud guard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Choose a horse girth designed for the saddle and discipline, such as a short dressage girth or a longer jumping girth. A stud girth has a wider guard intended to help protect the underside when a shod horse folds its forelegs over a jump. Shape, material and elastic configuration also affect fit, so seek a qualified saddle fitter's advice if you are unsure.
Measure with the usual saddle and pad in place, following the brand's guidance for where the buckles should sit. Recheck the measurement if the saddle, pad or horse's condition changes.
Wipe away sweat and dirt after use and follow the care instructions for each material. Detachable sheepskin covers may have specific washing requirements, while leather should be dried naturally and conditioned only with suitable products.
