Customer Reviews for Mattes Shaped Sheepskin Dressage Girth
Mattes Shaped Sheepskin Dressage Girth
The Mattes Shaped Sheepskin Dressage Girth uses the same top quality sheepskin as used in the saddle pads. Sheepskin's natural properties will prevent pressure points and rubs, while absorbing and wicking away heat and sweat. The contour shape with the wide center gives more freedom of movement. Details include buckle covers, D-ring and a light plastic insert at the center to ensure the girth does not shift or twist. Black. Sizes 22 - 34.

I purchased this rather expensive girth because I have spent way too much money on leather girths that always end up rubbing. The girth is wonderful, no rubs, even in very hot weather. Love the buckle covers! My trainer checked it out and is going to purchase one also. Just washed it and it looks great. I have only had it a couple of weeks, so can't comment yet on durability.

The gift is well crafted and worth the money. The fleece covers all of the girth and my 26 yr. old mare was thankful. Very expensive though.

My mare is round and short backed. She has been a challenge to fit saddle-wise and finding a girth to please her has not been easy either. She most recently wore a Logic girth, but has lost weight(poor girl on a diet!) and needed a smaller size.....Mattes girth to the rescue! How lovely! So soft and fluffy and so well designed for the horse and the rider. It is extremely well functioning(happy mare, saddle not moving forward during canter) and so sleek with the little cover over the buckles. Having no complaints from my mare....priceless!

Nice girth, but maybe not for a little horse.

Got this to try on my mountain horse who is rubbed by absolutely everything.
The girth is well made and the sheepskin very soft.
However, the mare is just so little that it was too much bulk behind her elbow.

I have purchased two of these girths in different sizes for use on two different horses that get very bad girth sores. On the first horse, I tried tons of different girths and covers all much cheaper and finally gave in and bought this girth. Problem solved. Years later, a new horse had the same issues, unfortunately, he couldn't use the same size girth. I didn't bother with cheaper ones this time. The horse loves the new Mattes girth and is much less "girthy" too. (The old girth is 6yrs old and still in excellent condition).

Very nice girth. I purchased it, because my mare developed an allergy to her leather girth,the sheepskin solved the problem.I do have to tighten the girth quite a bit, because it does seem to slip a bit more than a leather girth

This girth is a perfect match for my sensitive warmblood mare. Fits her well, and unlike some other "non-leather" girths, I am able to easily get girth snug

After trying several straight fleece girths that didn't stop the girth galls I ordered this one. It is more expensive than I would have liked but my horse seems to like it and she is not getting sores behind her elbows. It also seems to help keep my saddle from slipping forward. I like the cover that allows you to tuck the billet straps in. Nice girth.
