Wintec Chafeless Elastic Girth (short)
An easy-care, comfortable girth with a fully elastic middle, so the entire girth stretches with your horse as they work. The chafeless curved shaping reduces the width of material behind your horse's elbows to help prevent pinching their skin.
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.

Size guide
The chart shows the measurements of the Wintec Chafeless Elastic Girth (short).
- 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.
