DESCRIPTION
Western String Girth - Anti-Chafe Design
The Girth Western String Solo is a western string cinch built for airflow. The open string construction lets air circulate against the horse's barrel instead of trapping heat under a solid girth, and the anti-chafe design helps prevent rubbing behind the elbow on longer rides.
Key Features
- Anti-chafe design to reduce rubbing and skin irritation
- Open string construction for breathability and air circulation
- Different buckle and ring options: 2 buckles on each side, 2 rings on each side, or 1 buckle on one side and 1 ring on the other
- Sizes: 26", 32", 34" and 36"
- Suited to western riding in South African conditions
Sizing
Offered in four lengths: 26", 32", 34" and 36". A western cinch is measured end to end and sits much shorter than an English girth, because the latigo straps on the saddle make up the remaining length. The simplest way to size up is to measure a cinch that already fits your horse and match that length. If you are unsure which size you need, contact us before ordering.

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"
