Wintec Chafeless Elastic Girth (long)
If you are looking after the skin behind your horse's elbow, this is the girth to reach for.
The curved shape reduces the material behind the elbow, where the skin can fold and pinch. The fully elastic centre stretches with your horse as they work, so the girth gives as their ribcage expands.
Size guide
The chart shows the measurements of the Wintec Chafeless Elastic Girth (long).
- The girth you need depends on the girth points on your saddle. Saddles with short girth points take a long girth, and saddles with long girth points take a short girth.
- Length depends on your horse, so compare with a girth that already fits your horse well, or ask your saddle fitter.
Measurements are a guide only. They are rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm and then converted to inches, and the organic shape of saddlery means small differences between pieces are normal.
