Western Girths
Stability and Comfort in Western Style
In Western riding, the girth (also known as a cinch) plays a key role. It must not only securely stabilize a heavy stock saddle but also ensure the horse's full freedom of movement during dynamic turns or multi-hour trail rides in difficult terrain. At Balotade, we have prepared a range of Western girths that combine modern materials with traditional functionality, guaranteeing peace of mind for the rider and comfort for the animal.
Fur-lined girth – ideal for sensitive horses
For horses with exceptionally delicate skin prone to chafing, we have prepared our softest solution. Every Western girth with fur in our range features a dense, synthetic lining that acts as a soft cushion. This construction not only eliminates the risk of rubs but also ensures excellent airflow under the horse's belly, which is crucial during hot days on the trail.
Modern neoprene girth and Easy-Pull system
If you value practicality, your choice should be the neoprene Western girth. Neoprene is a material that does not absorb sweat, does not stiffen, and is extremely easy to maintain – simply wipe it with a damp cloth after returning to the stable. Additionally, our girths are equipped with a system that facilitates tightening:
- Solid stainless steel buckles: Resistant to rust and harsh weather conditions.
- Rollers for easy fastening: Allow for smooth tightening of the latigo without the need for great force.
- Anatomic profile: The specially cut shape avoids the sensitive elbow area, preventing restriction of shoulder movement.
