Horse Girths & Dressage Girths

At Chelford Farm Supplies, we are leading stockists of a wide range of girths from all top equestrian brands such as Horseware, LeMieux and Thorowgood.  Our saddlery has a girth to suit all types of saddle, whether dressage is your chosen discipline, you are a keen showjumper and everything in between. 

New style girth products offer innovative designs which are anatomically more comfortable for the horse, and are carefully designed for your chosen discipline or specific style of saddle.  Your horse’s comfort and the security of your saddle is always a top priority while riding, so make sure you have the right girth to do the job.

For a General Purpose saddle, choose the Thorowgood GP Girth with stay-soft Airoform cushioning which eliminates the risk of pinching behind the elbow where the skin is sensitive. The shaped fit and elasticated inserts on one end will evenly distribute pressure to optimise comfort. Stainless steel roller buckles at each end of the girth along with double layer stitching provides complete safety and peace of mind.

For dressage enthusiasts, your horse’s freedom to move from the shoulder is crucial both for welfare and to bag those extra marks in competition. The LeMieux Gel-Tek Anatomic Curve Dressage Girth has been designed by riders for riders with your horse’s comfort as a top priority. This girth features gel pockets on the leading edge to make sure there is no restriction or blocking of the shoulder muscle. Pressure is spread evenly across the girth with ultra-soft oiled leather while the contoured shape promotes freedom of movement of the shoulder and front legs, while providing the ultimate in horse comfort.

Show jumping saddles have standard length girth straps but new developments in girth design reflect the huge athletic demands required of the show jumping horse.  The LeMieux Gel-Tek Anatomic Curve GP/Jumping Girth is a long girth which can be used with either a GP or a jumping saddle.  Soft leather absorbs and distributes pressure evenly around the horse’s barrel and the contoured shape allows for maximum freedom of movement whilst the horse is in flight over the fence as well as promoting a generous stride length.  Strong double elastic straps keep the saddle securely in place whilst allowing for flexibility and movement.  There is an integrated clip for easy attachment to a breastplate or martingale.

Micklem is a brand associated with superior horse comfort so it will come as no surprise to horse owners that there is now a new long comfort girth added to the Rambo Micklem range. Ergonomically designed, this girth matches the contours of the horse’s anatomy and the cone shape of the rib cage, ensuring optimal pressure distribution around the ribs with equal pressure on the girth straps. Synonymous with innovation, the Horseware Rambo Micklem Long Comfort Girth has an innovative groove to accommodate the martingale strap when in use around the girth and a padded cutaway area to allow the elbow to move freely and without restriction.

Whatever your equestrian discipline and type of saddle, our extensive saddlery range will have a girth suitable for your horse’s needs.  Shop online or visit our tack shop and country store in the heart of Cheshire to view our range of horse girths.
