“There isn’t another manufacturer, I have ever purchased goods from, whose items have a quality, finish and durability like that of Mattes.”

– Allen F Dundee, Scotland – Mattes Girth Customer.

The Mattes Athletico Slimline Ice Blue sheepskin girth
designed to fit dressage and mono flap saddles, is perfect for Athletic, strong or wedge shaped horses. The carefully constructed shape of the girth prevents any saddle slippage that may result in the girth sliding backwards.

The Athletico short girth is made from high quality padded leather, covering plastic spreader inserts that help distribute pressure along the length of the girth. The slimline leather version is 2 cm slimmer than it’s cotton quilted counterpart, giving even more room between the girth and the horse’s elbow.

All Mattes Short Sheepskin Girths are covered with 100% Merino Lambskin and soft edge trim, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit for your horse. The natural fibres of the lambskin provide a cushion between the girth and the horse.

The Ice Blue Sheepskin Girth is 65cm in length and made from Black Leather with Ice Blue sheepskin. The girth is an ex-display model, so isn’t brand new, however, it has absolutely no signs of wear and tear and is as new and available for immediate dispatch.

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.

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.

Crescent Girth

This Girth shape suits round 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.

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.

    We Love the Mattes Girth

    We LOVE the mattes girth, utter life saver and of course the sheepskin is beautiful quality and the horse is fully recovered from his girth gall issue. My girl groom, Lou, says she has used the cheaper ones with a fabric? girth rather than leather and that they were excellent too. Your kind and cheerful service is a tonic and you explained exactly why we couldn’t get this girth sooner!! The frustrations of horses 🥴. We will order a spare sheepskin soon in the natural but tbh this sheepskin washed like a dream and dried very quickly so not an issue yet!!

    Many thanks

    Rebecca

    PS will get a photo soon but we are lambing at the moment and said horse is not remotely white as we are walking around like zombies due to feeding orphan lambs every 4 hours! Somerset, UK.
