Size Guide

How to Measure your girth


  • Firstly, your horse should be measured after work, this is to ensure that you get the correct measurement and not one distorted by your horse puffing out against the girth buckling.
  • Always measure your girth length on a saddled and girthed horse, both sides of the girth must be buckled evenly.
  • Using a soft tape measure, measure from the middle hole on one side, to the same point on the other side, if it is between lengths, always round it up to the next length.
    Example

    Measurement: 133cm

    Girth Length: 135cm

  • Make sure that if your horse is touchy around the mid section, that you secure the assistance of someone to help you.

Correct Girth Fitting

A Correctly fitted Girth will ensure the maximum comfort for your horse in both ensuring there is clearance through the elbow and ensuring your saddle stays in place. You should ensure enough clearance that the buckles do not catch on your horses elbow, additionally that the Mattes Girth Style you choose suits your horses conformation.

Description

Description

The Mattes Athletico Leather girth has been carefully designed to ensure maximum comfort for your horse.

Mattes Athletico Leather girths are made from a strong premium leather padding which covers specially designed plastic plates that spreads any pressure through the whole of the girth. All Mattes horse girths are encased in extremely dense 100% merino lambskin wool that not only cushions against the horse, but can hold up to eight times it’s weight of water, ensuring that the girth won’t rub or chafe your horse.

The Mattes Athletico Leather girth has been specifically designed to fit athletic, strong, wedge shaped and tricky to fit horses. The girth is slightly thinner than it’s cotton quilt counterpart and the special shape of the belt prevents saddle slippage in almost every case, that results in the girth sliding backwards.

All Mattes girths are 100% customisable enabling you to choose the colour leather (Brown, Black, or Champagne) as well as the colour of the sheepskin.

The sheepskin cover can be removed for ease of cleaning, using Mattes special MELP soap with is included free with every purchase. You are also able to purchase just the athletico girth cover separately from the base from £148.99.
