Girths / Cinches

Designed to maintain saddle stability, distribute tension evenly across the sternum, and prevent uncomfortable chafing, Syd Hill girths and cinches covers all major English, Stock, and Western saddles. Crafted from premium leather, anti-gall neoprene, natural mohair, and soft-fleece weaves, our range includes anatomical dressage girths, wide-sternum stock girths, and heavy-duty Western cinches. Featuring solid stainless steel roller buckles and heavy-duty elastic inserts, these girths ensure secure saddling and total comfort.

How Does an Anatomical Girth Contour Prevent Elbow Rubs and Girth Sores?

An anatomical girth features a curved, narrowed profile behind the horse's elbows combined with a broader center section across the sternum. This cutback design leaves generous clearance for the elbow joint and triceps muscle to move backward during full stride extension, eliminating the pinching and friction caused by straight-edged girths. Meanwhile, the wider central panel disperses vertical girth pressure over a larger surface area across the chest floor, preventing pressure hotspots.

What Are the Anti-Gall and Moisture-Wicking Advantages of Neoprene and Mohair Cinches?

Neoprene and natural mohair cinches offer distinct performance benefits for horses prone to skin irritation or heavy sweating. Anti-gall neoprene features a textured, non-porous surface that prevents grit and sweat from embedding into the material while flexing naturally with respiration. Natural mohair cinches consist of soft, breathable angora goat fibers that wick moisture, resist heat buildup, and expand slightly with breathing, making them an exceptional choice for long rides and sensitive-skinned horses.
