    “I was having real problems with a slipping girth, but thanks to Mattes my girth no longer slips forward.”

    – Alexandra W. Dorset, UK – Mattes Crescent Girth Customer

    The Mattes Crescent Slimline Girth is a perfect fit for rounder horses with short backs and wide ribs or a narrow chest. The special shape of the girth absorbs the rib curvature so that it cannot slip forward.

    Mattes Crescent slimline Girths are made from beautifully padded leather covering spreader inserts that help distribute pressure over the entire girth area. The girth has been specifically cut back in the elbow area which is 2 cm slimmer than its cotton quilted counterpart, allowing greater elbow movement without hindrance or the possibility of chafing.

    The Crescent leather Sheepskin Girth is cushioned by the finest Merino Lambskin and soft edge trim, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit for your horse. Mattes produce the highest quality products that actually do the job they were intended for and we have yet to find a brand that comes any where close.

    If you need assistance finding the correct shaped girth for your horse, please do not hesitate to ask.

      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.

      Which Girth Style do you need?

      Anatomic Girth

      This Girth shape suits horses with good confirmation where the girth sits far enough away from the horses elbow. The Girth is slightly cut back at the front and back in the elbow area. (strap is rotatable).

      Asymmetric Girth

      This Girth shape suits close coupled horses with less pronounced rib cages, where there is less distance from where the girth wants to sit and the elbows. This girth is severely cut back in front of the elbow area to compensate for this.

      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.
