Western Cinches

Western girth with comfort, pressure distribution and freedom of movement! 

A western girth should be comfortable for the horse and stable in the girth bed to keep the saddle in place during both training and western shows. The girth should take up as little space as possible for the horse and provide good freedom of movement so that the horse is not hindered in its work. There are now many western girths on the market in different colors, materials and designs.  

A good western girth does more than just hold the saddle in place; it fits the horse's needs, stays out of the way and doesn't cause girth sores. Whether you ride reining or pleasure , it's important that your horse has room to move its elbows so it doesn't feel restricted in its movements and risk elbow sores. It's also always a good idea to use a western girth with good pressure distribution so that the horse doesn't get sore stress points in the girth.

The type of girth your horse needs is individual. Some horses are very sensitive with delicate skin - such a horse may benefit from a western girth with lambskin or fleece. Others may be prone to girth cramps, which can be alleviated by choosing the right girth.  

Both Matrix and Professional's Choice have developed high-quality western girths that meet the needs of the horse. Matrix is known for their pressure distribution and shock absorption, which makes sense for both western pads and western girths; while Professional's Choice has designed ergonomic western girths with good elbow freedom.  

It's just as important that the girth fits the horse as it is that the saddle fits the horse - a wrong girth can do just as much damage as a wrong saddle. For example, by using the wrong girth, too short or too long, you risk the saddle sliding forward, leaving the horse with no room to move its shoulders. The shoulders move 4-5 cm every time the horse moves its front legs, and when, for example, a reiner wears out, the shoulders can move even more. This can cause major problems if the girth pulls the saddle crooked - either the horse is hampered in its stopping movement or it gets saddle sores or pressure on the shoulder.
