Fairhaven: Double End Elastic Hunter/Jumper Girth

Double End Elastic Hunter/Jumper Girth: Why the plain raised bridle design matters for hunter and jumper riders

Clean, classic look for the show ring

The Fairhaven Double End Elastic Hunter/Jumper Girth is designed for riders who want a polished, professional look with reliable everyday performance. Its clean style pairs well with traditional hunter and jumper tack, especially when matched with a plain raised bridle for a refined turnout. This girth is made to support a neat presentation without adding bulk or distracting details, making it a strong choice for schooling, flatwork, and competition. Riders who value both appearance and function will appreciate how easily it fits into a classic tack setup while still delivering the comfort and stability needed for focused riding.

Comfort and support for horse and rider

Built with double-end elastic, this girth helps distribute pressure more evenly while allowing your horse to move more naturally. The elastic sections offer a little give during motion, which can improve comfort and reduce resistance as the horse works through transitions, jumps, and collected frames. This is especially useful for hunter and jumper disciplines, where freedom of movement and consistent fit matter every ride. The design supports a secure saddle position without feeling overly rigid, helping riders maintain balance and giving horses the room they need to perform confidently and with less strain.

Reliable choice for daily training and competition

The Fairhaven Double End Elastic Hunter/Jumper Girth is a practical piece of tack for riders who need dependable performance across many types of work. Whether used in regular schooling sessions or under show conditions, it offers the durability and comfort expected from quality equestrian equipment. The double-end elastic construction helps create a steady fit, which can be especially helpful for horses that change shape slightly as they warm up or work harder. For riders building a complete hunter/jumper setup, it complements a plain raised bridle and other classic tack pieces, creating a coordinated look that is both functional and timeless.

A smart addition to a complete tack collection

Choosing the right girth is an important part of creating a safe and effective riding setup. This model is a smart option for riders looking for a balance of style, comfort, and usability in one simple design. It supports the saddle securely while helping maintain the horse’s comfort during training and performance. Its straightforward, classic appearance makes it easy to match with a wide range of tack, including a plain raised bridle for a traditional hunter/jumper presentation. For riders who want quality without unnecessary extras, this girth delivers dependable results and a clean look that works season after season.

Care & Longevity

To get the most out of your everyday leather, we recommend a quick wipe-down with a damp cloth after every ride to remove sweat and salt. Periodically treat with a high-quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
