Wintec Elastic Girth (short)
Research shows girths have a significant impact on equine performance. Wintec synthetic girths are known the world over as some of the most comfortable and durable girths available at unmatched value for money.
The Wintec Elastic Girth features high-quality stainless steel fittings for longevity and a fully elastic middle with anti-galling material, ensuring symmetrical give throughout the length of the girth for increased comfort as your horse works.
Do I need a long or a short girth?
Short girths are designed for saddles with long girth points, such as the Wintec Dressage, Stock or Endurance range. If your saddle has short girth points, such as a Jump or most All Purpose saddles, the long girth will likely suit you better.
