The ideal girth, whatever the brand is influenced by various factors including:

• Anatomy of the horse: Horses may grow and/or change shape over time.
• The fit of the saddle: It is important to take the time to engage a professional saddle fitter to periodically check your saddle fit.

We get many enquiries about E.A.Mattes girth products from people looking to resolve saddle fit issues with an alternate girth. We will always recommend going one step back and getting your saddle professionally fitted. Your saddle fitter can be an excellent resource to give you advice on the best brand or shape of girth to suit your situation.
