Does your horse have an athletic wedge-shaped body and does the saddle have a tendency to slip back pulling the girth forward at the same time? Mattes Athletico girths have been specially adapted to suit this type of horse or pony, one where the lines of the wedge-shaped body, back, ribcage and sternum to belly, all taper towards the rear.

Instead of opening to the rear, the Athletico girth has been designed to open to the front (to a degree!). The way the belt is shaped prevents the saddle from slipping backwards, which can be an issue for this type of build and is very popular with jumpers and eventing horses. The Athletico girth is supplied with an attached directional label to make sure the girth is fitted correctly.

Mattes Athletico Girths

Mattes have curated a range of Athletico girths for all types of horses and ponies, saddles and riding disciplines, such as Athletico long girths, short girths for monoflap saddles, Athletico dressage girths, and even Athletico western cinches.

The Girth is available in cotton quilt, or slim-line leather. Both girths are encased in a removable sheepskin cover, whose natural fibres cushion your horse and allows the sweat to wick away naturally, essential if your horse is prone to sensitive skin.
