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 lower edge of the saddle flap on one side, to the same point on the other side, then subtract 30cm. Always round it up to the next length.
    Example

    Measurement: 101cm

    Subtract: 30cm = 71cm

    Girth Length: 75cm

  • 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.

If you are not sure what style of girth you need and would like us to recommend one, please complete our free girth consultation form. (Remember if our recommendation doesn’t work, we will exchange it free of charge).

The Anatomical Slimline Cinch is made from a strong premium leather padded covering specially designed plastic plates that spreads any pressure through the whole of the girth. All Mattes Western Leather Cinches 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 and that your western saddle remains securely in position.

The Anatomical slimline Cinch is the perfect fit for many horses, especially those with good conformation where the cinch normally sits far away from the horses elbow. The cinch is slightly thinner than it’s cotton quilt counterpart and is cut back at the front and back in the elbow area, which provides even more room between the elbow and the girth. Western Leather Cinches are designed to Western Saddles.

All Mattes cinches 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 anatomical sheepskin cinch cover separately from base from £121.06.
