- Biothane girthing point — strong, supple and easy to clean
- Provides essential extra security over a saddle
- Ideal for racing and eventing
- Lightweight and low-maintenance

- Small — 205cm
- Medium — 215cm
- Large — 225cm
- XL — 235cm
When to Use a Surcingle
Worn over the saddle on top of the girth, a surcingle acts as a secondary retention strap. If the primary girth were to fail, the surcingle keeps the saddle in place — a small extra layer of safety that's standard equipment in most racing and eventing disciplines.
How to Fit a Surcingle Correctly
- Fit it over the saddle after you've girthed up and tested the primary girth tension
- The biothane girthing point sits against the horse's belly, behind the elbow — same line as the main girth
- Adjust so the elastic has give but isn't loose — you should be able to slide a flat hand under it, not a fist
- Re-check after the warm-up; horses often "blow up" before settling, and the surcingle will need taking up a hole
- Tuck loose straps neatly — flapping ends scare horses and can get caught on a stride

SIZE CHART
Girths Size Chart
How to measure your girth:
Girths are measured from the end of the buckle to the end of the buckle (the full length) and vary in size by 2 inches (5cm)
If you don't have a tape measure on hand you can use a piece of string to get the needed length and measure the string afterwards.
If you don't have an old girth to measure, then you can measure for a new girth by placing your numnah and saddle on your horse, and measuring from halfway up the girth point, around the tummy, to halfway up the next girth point.
You ideally want to have 2 holes adjustment up, and 1 extra hole for adjusting down on the girth points.
As a very basic rule of thumb:
14-15 hands = 42 - 44"
15-16 hands = 46 - 48" GP girth and 26" dressage girth
16-17 hands = 48 - 54"
