Standard or Narrow Gauge?

Narrow gauge girths are designed specifically to fit horses (and most ponies) with a narrower rib cage. Measure the flat area between the horse’s elbows. If it measures less than 20cm, your horse needs the narrow gauge.

If you don’t have a tape measure, try using a sweat scraper. If it won’t fit between the front legs, the horse is a narrow gauge fit.

Or, if the palm of your hand lays flat between the front legs, the horse is more likely to be a standard fit.

Horses with a forward girth groove will also benefit from the narrow gauge.

If your horse has wrinkly skin behind his elbows, opt for the narrow gauge version.
