Saddle Accessories

After purchasing your saddle, the total picture is not yet complete. A saddle needs to be equipped with a pair of stirrups, stirrup leathers, and a girth. Where there used to be a small selection available, nowadays there is a wide range of stirrups, leathers, and girths. The suitability of stirrups varies per rider. Horse riding will never be without risks, but a set of safety stirrups can prevent many accidents. Safety stirrups are used by riders of all levels, including top-level sports.

The suitability of a girth for your horse depends on several aspects. First and foremost, it's important to know how your horse reacts to pressure on the girth area. Does your horse suffer from girthiness? Then it's extra important that the girth does not apply too much pressure. There are various girth shapes, and the right shape for your horse depends on the girth grooves of your horse. The girth should be placed approximately a hand's width behind the horse's elbow. In the unique assortment, you will also find some girths with elastic. This can provide relief for horses that find the pressure of the girth challenging to bear. Additionally, some jumping girths have a belly flap to protect the horse's belly from hooves hitting above the jump. Horses with sensitive skin may benefit from a girth with fleece, which protects the skin from rubbing and friction.

In the unique assortment, you will find both brown and black saddle accessories. Are you looking for advice? Contact our experts.
