Girths

A well-fitting girth is crucial for your horse's comfort and saddle stability. At Ruitersport Maddelin, you'll find a carefully curated collection of girths for dressage, jumping, and eventing , focusing on anatomical design, breathability, and top-quality materials . Our girths are designed to distribute pressure, prevent friction, and ensure freedom of movement , enabling both horse and rider to perform optimally.

Anatomically shaped for maximum comfort

The correct girth follows the natural line of the horse's belly and chest.
Our anatomical models are specially designed to:

Distribute pressure evenly on the sternum and muscles ,
To keep the shoulder and elbow free ,
Prevent chafing thanks to soft linings and rounded edges,
To ensure a stable position of the saddle , even during intensive use.

Available in leather, neoprene, memory foam, or technical mesh materials – each with their own benefits for comfort and care.

The right girth for every discipline

At Maddelin you will find girths tailored to your riding discipline:

Dressage girths – short model, often with elastic and soft lining.
Jumping girths – longer, with extra protection against shocks and stirrups.
Eventing and training girths – strong, flexible and waterproof.
Anatomical girths with belly protector – ideal for show jumpers and young horses.

Each model has been tested for fit, stability and saddle compatibility , so that your saddle remains firm and comfortable.

Luxurious materials, thoughtful design

Our girths are made of high-quality materials such as supple leather, soft synthetic fur, or breathable technical foam. Double elastics on both sides ensure even pressure distribution, while rustproof buckles guarantee secure attachment. Many models feature D-rings for auxiliary reins or training accessories, and a pre-formed elbow recess for added freedom of movement.

Maintenance and sustainability
