I just bought a used saddle from this lady who gave me a girth, though it doesn't fit my horse. it's too big. It's a close contact jumping saddle, so it doesn't have that extra flap. This is the girth I want to get, but I don't know the size:

http://www.doversaddlery.com/ovation-cotton-web-dressage-girth-/p/X1-02195/cn/100/

Do I measure my horse or something? Any idea?
My close contact saddle is a monoflap and doesnt have the underneath flap where you attach the girth. The part where you attach the girth is down by her stomach.

That is my saddle. See how it goes down...dressage girths are the only girth I know of that works with this saddle.

Measure her from second hole of the girth strap to the second hole of the girth strap under her tummy. And then get the nearest one.

How much does all of the horse tack cost? bridle, saddle, girth, reins, halter, the lot. I am planning to get my own horse soon so i need to know the costs. thank you to any1 who answers. oh i live in the uk(£)

im in UK too, saddle will cost around 100pounds if second hand of ebay. a lot more if new, my new saddle was over 700pounds :O synthetic saddles are cheaper. you should have a look on the Robinson's website you can see the prices of all the tack then:

http://www.robinsons-uk.com/

bridles new will cost between 30-60pounds new, a lot less second hand(reins are usually included) but the bit will not. bits vary greatly depending on which bit you want to use, have a look on the site to see the diff bits.

numnahs or saddle cloths usually cost about 10pounds, girths about the same unless you want a fancy one...

head collar(halter) and lead rope between 5-15pounds usually.

but any tack you could possibly want will be on the Robinson's website so def check that out. but also check ebay once you know what you want you can often get job lots of tack on there quite cheap. :)

Do you recommend anything? I'm on a very small budget.
Thanks!
I can order the saddle chesnut and also it is an all purpose saddle not dressage. Any other saddles that you would recommend??
Ok Found another one i like hehe!

http://www.smartpakequine.com/productclass.aspx?productClassid=4823

Nice tack! However, I have some suggestions. First, instead of regular stirrups, buy peacock (or "breakaway") stirrups. Second, http://www.horse.com/ sells the same exact products as State Line tack, but significantly cheaper. For example, at State Line tack, you can buy a KINCADE ALL PURPOSE SADDLE PACKAGE (size 16 1/2) for $349.99. At Horse.com, you can buy the exact same package, the same size for $284.99 (savings of $65). Plus, they are having a sale right now, so you can get it for $199.99, or $150 cheaper than at State Line Tack. The grand total for your tack items at State Line Tack and Smart Pak Equine is $777. 87. Horse.com didn't have your exact items, but here's similiar stuff:
Nylon and fleece girth - $23.99
Pro-Craft Quilted Schooling Pad - $9.99
Pro-Craft Stainless Steel Fillis Stirrups - $17.89
Pro-Craft Stainless Steel Peacock Stirrups - $19.89
English Stirrup Leathers - $11.99
Wintec 2000 All Purpose Saddle - $624.50
Wintec Wide All Purpose Saddle - $574.50
Wintec 500 All Purpose Saddle - $440.99
Wintec 250 Series All Purpose Saddle - $268.99
Kincade Redi-Ride All Purpose Saddle Package - $199.99
English Starter Set - $149.99

I LOVE this site - they have EVERYTHING! The only thing they don't sell is the horse! I highly reccomend this site, because they also have reviews. And if Dover and State Line are selling the same stuff, it's not cheap look alikes, it's the same stuff but cheaper.

Padded Bridles All http://horsehq.net/padded-bridles-all/ http://horsehq.net/padded-bridles-all/#comments Fri, 20 Nov 2009 02:01:07 +0000 HorseHQ http://horsehq.net/padded-bridles-all/ Do all these new tack designs really help?

It seems to me like there are so many new designs for saddles, bridles, girths, everything. But it seems the greatest horses lived in the past where tack was simpler and not so new-fangled. Do horses really need elastic, medical grade pad girths, air filled panels, and padded crowns? And do riders really need all these huge knee pads and stuff. Couldn't you just use a string girth and normal bridle?

I USED to be concerned what was in style, but you know what, my 40 year old Siegfried with it's shaped leather, elastic girth, it's old crosby leathers and Stubben irons work just fine... They've outlasted all the new stuff and are still around.

My mare recently had a foal so right now I am riding several different horses, most often a Clydesdale. I want to buy an adjustable girth so I am not always looking for a girth to fit. I would like to be able to use it on my mare and her foal in the future as well. My mare is 15hh, and my Clydesdale is 17.2hh. Are there girths that will have that large of a size range? Any suggestions on brands? Thanks!
I should add that my mare is usually a 42 or 44" girth. Not sure on my Clydesdale...the 16.3hh Warmblood I believe is a 50" or maybe it was 56"?

No, you'll never find a one size fits all girth. Just buy a couple cotton or mohair string girths. They are really cheap and are the best fitting and most comfortable girths for horses.

Help! I just got given 2 old stock saddles....?

And was inspecting them to see what I could do, and as soon as I gave the girth strap a light tug it broke off. They bothe dont have girths. Do the saddles both just need a lot of leather oiling, or the fact that it broke immeadiatley say they are just beyond repair? Can you ride in a surcingle only?

If I were you, I would take them to a saddle maker and see what he thinks of them. More than likely he'll give you an estimate on what it will cost to get these saddles useable again. Personally, I like my older saddles and will spend the extra money on them. Kind of like riding in a classic car. Sometimes just having a few simple things (like girth straps) replaced and giving the saddle a good cleaning and oiling give amazing results to older saddles.

What is the purpose of a short (dressage) girth?

Why are they short instead of long like hunter/jumper girths?

Well, I've actually found that I'm rather comfortable (as is my horse) in a shorter girth. It does provide more room for my leg, because during the piaffe and passage my leg does move back a bit further and does come in contact with the buckles.

This, however, doesn't tend to bother me as much. Another reason for the shorter girth deals with the flap on the dressage saddles. Most of them are typically longer due to the fact that more surface of the rider's leg connects to the horses body. Furthermore, a hunter/jumper saddle is smaller, the billets are closer to the saddle anyway and therefore the girth is longer.

Dressage girths are yes, shorter, but I've never been able to, in my 11 years of riding, found that they restrict the movement more than longer girths or bother the horse any, as long as you are using the correct sized girth for the horse.

All that being said, it does also come down to style. Even more, with the long flaps, a longer stirrup requires you to fasten tighter to the top of the saddle, lifting the flaps higher and indeed pushing the buckles up towards the legs.

Dressage riders typically require more leg contact and room to be able to move. They don't want a buckle in the way incase their leg needs to move backwards to scoot a hip over more, or ask for a flying change. They use the entire length from their ankles to their knees for an even pressure to ask for forward movement.

These are the reasons, to my knowledge, of short girths in dressage. I'm sure there are others, or it just comes down to style, but that is what I know :)

Ovation Jumping Saddle http://horsehq.net/ovation-jumping-saddle/ http://horsehq.net/ovation-jumping-saddle/#comments Sat, 18 Jul 2009 10:21:49 +0000 HorseHQ http://horsehq.net/ovation-jumping-saddle/ How to know girth size? ? ?

I just bought a used saddle from this lady who gave me a girth, though it doesn't fit my horse. it's too big. It's a close contact jumping saddle, so it doesn't have that extra flap. This is the girth I want to get, but I don't know the size:

Do I measure my horse or something? Any idea?
My close contact saddle is a monoflap and doesnt have the underneath flap where you attach the girth. The part where you attach the girth is down by her stomach.

That is my saddle. See how it goes down...dressage girths are the only girth I know of that works with this saddle.

Measure her from second hole of the girth strap to the second hole of the girth strap under her tummy. And then get the nearest one.

Elastic Girth http://horsehq.net/elastic-girth/ http://horsehq.net/elastic-girth/#comments Wed, 15 Jul 2009 23:19:01 +0000 HorseHQ http://horsehq.net/elastic-girth/ English Tack Questions!?

Are Kelly irons good? im going to get the blue aluminm kind. will they rust?
Are cotten girths with the elastic with rollers ok? if not whats the best kind of girth?
are the rubber/neopreane/thickplastic (not sure what there called o.O) sturrip leathers good?(i dont have enough to buy GOOD leather ones)

Aluminum will be fine. You do want your girth to have elastic and roller. However, a neoprene girth would be easier to keep clean. all you need is to wipe it down with a wet rag. A cotton one will absorb sweat and is less sanitary especially if it were to ever be used on more than one horse. With stirrup leathers, all that really matters is strength.
