Tapestry Dressage Girth
Does your horse resist the girth or show tension under saddle? The Tapestry Dressage Girth is engineered to address both — and the difference is visible in the ring.
The patented elastic section works in harmony with the premium leather sternum pad to give your horse the freedom of movement true collection demands. As the elastic expands naturally with the ribcage, pressure behind the elbows — one of the most common sources of resistance — is relieved, allowing your horse to breathe fully and move with greater ease.
The result is a more relaxed, expressive horse and a more rewarding ride.
Designed with a 6" leather sternum pad to support correct saddle placement, the girth also features quality stitching, stainless steel buckles, and a D-ring for martingale or breastplate attachment.

"I had a dressage horse that was really bad for saddle slide back due to major athletic tummy line. The saddle stayed in place with Tapestry Dressage girths. Much better than any anatomical shaped girth I've tried in the past."

My horse is very particular about his clothing and he absolutely loves this girth. It’s the best he’s felt. I also love how even when he expands, I don’t have to readjust the setting of which I put the girth on, but rather it goes to with it.
Hi Liza, we're thrilled to hear your horse loves the girth! Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Happy riding!
I recently purchased a girth to go with a new jump saddle that has the long billet straps. I purchased the Tapestry girth as I already have two (a long one for the old jump saddle and one for the dressage saddle) and love them (so do the horses). The girth is of excellent quality and the order I received was accurate and very fast delivery. Thank you.
Hi Gloria, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear you and your horses love the girth and that your experience was smooth from order to delivery. We appreciate your continued trust in Tapestry products!

Have only used this girth for a few weeks but have found it is well made and gives my horse room to breath and move. I have used it on both treed and treeless saddles with no roll. Well recommended and at a better price point than any comparable.
I have 3 different sizes of the long girth and two sizes of the dressage girth to fit my two horses and different saddles. One of the horses is girthy and was getting girth galls from traditional type girths. I ordered the sheepskin girth cover for his extra comfort. The tapestry girths are the best. I recommend them.
I have slowly transferred all of my girths to these and love the quality, simplicity and comfort for my horses

My new horse started getting a bit angry when I tightened the girth…tail swooshing etc. I thought ulcers, but first changed the girth by buying the tapestry girth and he is as happy as a calm.
Great experience with the folks at Tapestry! My mare likes this girth so much better than her previous. She moves out better and protests less (she likes to talk about the girthing process)! Highly recommend.
Along with the Tapestry Girth I ordered the Monoflap. As... don't we all want our horses to feel like they are enveloped in a cloud of softness? Unfortunately the girth did not fit with the Monoflap. After a bit of back and forth with Linda, the girth fitting problem was solved, omit the Mono-flap. Linda was amazing at communication and stands behind her product. I do recommend that when ordering the Monoflap get the next girth size up.
I have now purchased three Tapestry girths for two horses. Love the fit, less sweaty.
My horse loves the new girth. He is less irritable when doing up the girth now. It definite provides better comfort and freedom of movement.
Great girth! Allows me to have my saddle nice and secure while still allowing my horse breathing room. Do double check you do not have it too tight via their instructions.
I purchased a girth and a few months later some of the neoprene started to rip, when I contacted Linda she apologized and set me out a new girth within days.
It's really nice to know there are still reputable companies out there who stand behind their products and do the right thing when there is a problem.
I’ve had my girth for about two weeks. So far both my horse and I love it!
Liked being able to talk with you personally when I was trying to figure out what I needed. I received my girth quickly after ordering. Thank you.
Such a great girth I have bought one for each horse!
I have purchased 2 of these girths…both in the leather version and I love them! My saddles do not slip and i find that I don’t have to tighten quite as much…which my horses like! One of my horses is a newly under saddle Mustang….When I switched to this girth she was clearly more comfortable. My other horse was VERY girthy! After ruling out any medical issues I decided t try this girth! I have to say that there is a CLEAR difference in his acceptance and behavior! I know by his temperment and movement quality that he is comfortable! Thank you for this amazing design!
I was enthusiastic about this girth but my mare seems to resent when I use? She is a mare, is it her or the girth? I switched back to a her fleece lined girth and the fussiness was better so I conclude she doesn’t like this particular girth.
Thanks for the feedback. Just like bits and saddles a particular girth may not work for every horse based on conformation, soreness, etc.. Our horses are always talking and you listened!
I have 3 English Tapestry girths, one Tapestry dressage girth and two Tapestry neck straps, plus a set of spursuaders. Love every one of them. Absolutely great products and I would highly recommend them all.
I bought this girth (30”, black) as my horse has been struggling with girth gauls. He did seem to enjoy wearing it, and it did not gaul him in any of his normal places. But it did pinch and rub his body where the elastic meets the bottom piece. Yes, I had it snug enough. I rode in it four times and then stopped before a gaul could form. My horse is a solid first level dressage horse and we’ve been working on second level for about 8 months.
As I can’t return it, I offered it to a friend to try on her horse (who girth gauled running cross country), and it worked out great for him. It’s probably worth trying, but I wouldn’t go in with super high expectations if you’re already having girth troubles.
Hi KH! Thank you for the review. We take what our customers say to heart and for horses like yours we will have the monoflap/dressage Supafleece covers ready (fingers crossed) by years' end. They are custom designed girth covers to extend past the place where the elastic and leather meet.
However, we have had riders who had horses rub with other girths NOT rub with this one. Each horse is different :)
Adagio and I absolutely love the dressage girth from you! Adagio is much less girthy, more free to move, and all around happier! We had to switch to our old girth while his belly shed this spring, and we both hated that beast of a girth! So glad to be back in the real deal and riding hard!
