Hello all! I just purchased a new to me endurance saddle with western centerfire rigging.
How do I figure cinch sizes? She wears a 22 inch dressage girth and a 44 inch jumping girth and she’s about 14.2 if that helps at all.
Thanks!
My mare wears the same size western cinch as her dressage girth. I think you want the buckles to hit in about the same place. (I’m new to Western also;)
If she’s 14.2 hands and you have a true centerfire rigging on your saddle, a very rough estimate would be that you might need around a 28" western girth (depending on how stocky your horse is).
A 22" cinch in Western would be pony. You aren’t going to need one that small.
Of course, it will depend on your saddle too. My horse uses a 34" western cinch on his barrel saddle and a 54" on our Tad Coffin jumping saddle (although he could get by with a 52" too).
It seems like 20 inches difference is fairly standard, if she is in a 44 jumping girth that would make it 24 inches in a cinch.
