girth

Ahoy! I've seen a TON of opinions on cinching, ranging from snug to loose etc. As far as I know, the general rule is to tighten enough for it to not slip when mounting. "Don't cut your horse in half!" I am still "learning" aka, I can easily walk, trot, but after recently getting bucked off...

Hi, I have a very frustrating problem, my recently acquired ex racer has been issue after issue I've been dealing with but now I'm not sure what to do about her other ongoing situation. When I rub, brush or even feather light touch her girth area side and lessor extent under her tummy she...

Hay y'all! Alright, so I know you've heard probably a million times that a girthy horse "isn't my fault" but in this case, I know it is! Ive got a 13 year old Quarter horse, paint gelding who is just the most sweet, precious boy. He tolerates just about anything and spooks at nothing. However...

Quick question, which side do you first stand on (from the horses view) when taking off the girth? I know you start on the right side when putting it on but not sure the right way for untacking, please help!

I have had my mare since August 1 of last year. After about 6 weeks during a very hot part of the summer, I noticed that she was starting to lose hair on both sides under the girth after I removed it. The area was almost on her belly, about a quarter sized area on each side. Not bleeding or raw...

I was wondering if a girth like this Wintec CAIR girth in brown would be acceptable in the hunter ring? Here is the link Wintec CAIR Girth - Closeout! | Horse and Pet Suppliers Thank you!

I have a 15.1HH Draft cross and was sizing her for a girth to go with my saddle. If I buckle the girth in the very top billet holes on the saddle (it's a 7 billet saddle.) I would need a 36in girth. If i did it in the very bottom billets it would be 29in. So what size should I get?

What do you prefer your girth to be made out of, and why? I was looking into buying a Professional Choice girth, but I've heard so many people say that you shouldn't put neoprene on your horse. I'm not sure why. I currently use a fleece girth. I don't like how bulky it is, and I worry that I'm...

I need your help. I am looking for a girth and here are basically the three I have narrowed it down to (for budget, color, etc.): 1. Circuit Overlay Girth | Dover Saddlery 2. Showmark Fancy-Stitched Girth | Dover Saddlery 3. Crown Fancy-Stitched Overlay Girth | Dover Saddlery And I was...

I just got a new western saddle,and I was wondering how you would attach a girth like this to it Thanks! The top hooks on to the strap on the right side then the bottom where you tighten it goes on the left,right? I tack up my horse all the time but I JUST got my own saddle for him yesterday

I'm searching for a new girth as I just switched over from western to dressage. My trainer is insistent on a Prestige, however I'm wondering what I should look for or what other brands I should consider

hey everyone. This is my first time posting anything for sale on this forum so if there is any details I leave out then just send me a message =) I have a 46" cotton girth, used but all the buckles and the fabric itself are still in fine condition. - 5$ set of draw reins, only used once when...

I am looking for some new tack but am not sure how to measure the current sizes I have. For stirrup leathers, are they measured from buckle to the very end, buckle to the first hole, etc.? For girths, are they measured just buckle to buckle? For bit, is it ring to ring when laying flat, or...

my horse uses a 34 inch western cinch. what size english do I need? thanks

I have an absolutely wonderful, barely used anatomical girth that was custom made for a horse I no longer have. It was made by DK Saddlery of Alberta, Canada. Not well known in the U.S., but they make incredible tack -- saddles starting at $5,000 and go up from there. This girth cost $300, but I...

I want to use a rope girth or a Leather felt lined one. I want to buy everything before I get my horse but i'm told i need to wait until i get my horse. What's the average size girth/cinch? Can I get one before getting my horse?

I am looking for a 34 inch mohair girth. Thanks Norma

Hi All! I'm currently girth shopping and cannot choose between two :-P One is Neoprene against the belly and one is fleece. Which is more comfortable for the horse? Is there another material that is more comfortable than these two options? Thanks ahead of time for your input! :-)
