Choose the Equestro stud guard girth if you jump without draw reins, a breastplate or a martingale on the girth and are looking for a leather stud girth with elastic at both ends. If you need 120 cm or 135 cm, this model fits the bill.

If you want D-rings for draw reins or an attachment for a martingale, look at the LJ Leathers stud girth in buffalo leather with a cowhide lining, or the Kentucky anatomical stud girth in synthetic leather with a central hook and three D-rings. For a magnetic cover over the snap hook, the HFI magnetic stud girth is the alternative.

Equestro does not state how the length in cm is measured and gives no size advice. Measure your current, well-fitting girth from buckle to buckle and choose the same length, or ask for advice in the shop. The girth has elastic at both ends, which gives a little play when girthing up. Equestro does not mention an anatomical shape.
