Waldhausen Girth: Short and long girths for a secure hold

A well-fitting girth keeps the saddle in place without restricting. Here you will find short and long girths from Waldhausen in leather, fleece and gel.

Waldhausen Girth: firm but comfortable

Dressage saddles with long girth straps need a short girth, such as the Economic short girth, the Comfort leather short girth or the X-Line leather short girth with elastic. Jumping and eventing call for a long girth like the crescent long girth with teddy fleece, which is cut back at the elbows. Leather girths also come with ECO Wool or in the slim Sleek version, and there is a girth with gel too.

Frequently asked questions

How tight should the girth be?
Tighten it in several steps, not all at once. In the end a flat hand should still fit between girth and horse. Check it again after warming up.
