"I bought this girth because my horse has a forward girth groove. I hoped that it would stablilize my saddle in the correct position. There are many things I liked about this girth: the quality of the leather, the softness, and even the shape. This girth feeds the billets through keepers at the girth ends before the roller buckles, which works well. However, the actual keeper for the ends of the billets is too far down from the roller buckles. Even with the correct size, the distance between the buckles and the keepers means that I had sloppy billet ends flapping. The keepers were just not usable, and need to be much closer to the buckles. Certainly not what I expected from a good brand name, and a very expensive girth. A barnmate has a very similar girth, the County Logic, which has a better design for the billet keepers. This one will go back to SmartPak, thanks to the excellent return policy!"

"The saddle fitter recommended this exact girth and it's wonderful. Great fit, great quality. The only thing is, my horse is 16.3 and somewhat beefy and I had to get the smallest size."

"I have trouble with dressage saddles pulling forward on my Paint. This really did the trick to help keep that from happening. Agree that you have to be careful about size, I had to go one size up to get the billets into the keepers. No issues with the girth rubbing my guy at all. He seems to like it and the cut outs give his fronts lots of room to move. Gave it a 5 for durability because I am impressed with the quality of the leather and the construction. I have not had it long enough for a real test. It does clean very easily."

"My mare has a forward girth groove, and this girth is exactly what she needed. I was worried that a leather girth would not be as comfortable for her as the sheepskin one I was using. But the fit is fantastic, and the is leather soft and well-padded. I have no doubt that this girth will last for many years to come, making it a worthwhile investment if you can afford it. Just be aware that the leather extends well beyond the buckles when you consider sizing. My mare wore a 32" straight girth, and the 70 cm fits her perfectly."

Share this Review:
"I very much liked the way this girth fit on my horse. I've been using the SmartPak Fleece Dressage Girth in 24" and would have considered buying a 22" in this girth had it been available. However, because this girth is so much thicker than the one I'm used to, it actually fit one hole looser on each side. I was concerned that the keepers above the buckles looked too far away, but that really wasn't an issue. What WAS an issue, though, was the keepers under the buckles. When tightened on the third hole, the billets didn't reach the keepers at all and just stuck out from the side. On the fourth hole, they barely reached; they'd probably fall out during riding, though. Unfortunately, that leaves the whole thing looking very unpolished. That might be OK with a cheap girth, but I don't find that acceptable on a girth at this price point, so it's going back."

"I purchased this girth for my Lusitano gelding who has a short back and a forward placed "girth groove". The measurement is from buckle to buckle, but the girth extends several inches beyond the buckles. My horse usually wears a 30 inch girth but in this style needed a 26 inch girth. In this size the buckles interferred with his elbows. I had to send the girth back. The purchase price was refunded without hesitation. Order this girth with confidence that if it does not work you can send it back."

"I had the Logic girth before and loved it. But I no longer have that horse and I got a new horse and my Logic girth was too large. So I needed a new girth. I decided to try this one. Since it's just like the Logic and less expensive. I am thrilled with this Prestige girth. Quality is just as great and I use this girth on all my treeless saddle and the saddles never slip. Love it, thanks!!!"

"This is the nicest dressage girth I have seen. It has a lot of cushion in it and is made from a great quality leather. It is anatomically shaped to sit perfectly in the girth area. There is quite a bit of leather above where the buckles are so I had to get the 60 cm girth to fit my 16.3 h warmblood. I would definately recommend this product. It is a beautiful girth."

"This is a beautiful girth and the materials used appear to be very good quality.
Because it is an anatomical girth the fit on your horse matter tremendously though!
To be able to get it to buckle correctly onto my saddle I had to get the longest version -80cm.
However the 80 cm was too wide across in the center area so the curves started too close to my horses elbows.
Unfortunately I had to return this beautiful girth but SmartPak even provided the return label so that was nice.
I would recommend this girth but make sure the curves actually are in the right spot when your horse wears it. If they begin too far up it completely defeats the purpose."

"My newest horse is a Friesian Cross. I had absolutely no experience with a horse like him. My horses have always been big thoroughbreds with withers that a saddle sits nicely on and have had no problems getting it tight enough, etc. Enter Finn, who is as wide as he is tall (a little exaggeration). He wears a saddle that is extra wide, and I went through 5 other girths trying to get the saddle tight enough, but not binding or pinching. I love this girth! It is made out of beautiful leather, it is nice and wide so it doesn't pinch, it is cut away from the front legs so it doesn't interfere, and I can get it tight so the saddle does not turn at all. For this type of horse, I definitely recommend this girth."

"I was surprised that this quality, expensive girth was such a dreadful fit for my warmblood horse. It galled her on both sides. I will stick with the contoured girths which work better for me. A well made, beautiful girth of quality leather. It may work for other horses with a different conformation. My mare is half Andalusian and has a body like a barrel. Smart Pak allowed a return of girth since it is still in brand new condition. Thank you, Smart Pak!"
