"Really pleased with my Stubben girths. Both horses seem to like them and so far flat backed barrel shaped horse’s saddle seems more secure and not slipping forward going down hill. Excellent service from Townfields too!"
By SarahDobell on 16th March 2023
"Excellent. Thank you."
By JRoberts on 7th February 2023
"The string girth is great it’s exactly what I had researched it holds the saddle on with its width a little better than others and I am really delighted in the choice of colour I’d expect no less from Townsfield they always have fantastic products and I have bought from them for years"
By MichaelStevens on 15th December 2022
"These are very good girths. They allow the air to circulate and they move with the horse so they don't cause sores. Much better than some of the more expensive shaped girths. I've found some of the ends come undone with machine washing so I would advise hand brushing with detergent and warm water."
By AgnesLintonSmith on 8th October 2022
"Simple, traditional gimmick free design that works.Comfortable for the horse and at the same time no saddle slipping. Easy to wash and quick drying. Great for every day, yet smart enough to show in, in my opinion."
By Steph on 16th September 2022
"A high quality girth which is wide, fits well and seems comfortable for my cob."
By SamRobson on 1st September 2022
"I had this girth recommended by both my saddler and the Intelligent Horsemanship group. It seemed to be out of stock in alot of places in my size, but I found it on Townsfields website. Ordering was easy, delivery was prompt and my fussy mare seems to like this girth! She seems comfortable and more free in her shoulder movement in the school. I will have to buy another one!"
By ElizabethBrown on 17th June 2022
"Quick service brilliant"
By Shirley on 17th May 2022
"I used to use this type of girth when I was 9 years old! These ones are much softer and broader and with nice quality buckles. Arrived promptly. Great for keeping the horse cool, the saddle stable, and of course don't crack like the plastic girths. My horse doesn't even blow himself out when I girth him up with this one so I guess he must approve."
By MicheleChapman on 2nd December 2021
"Excellent service- speedy delivery. Happy. "
By ShonaMackenzie on 29th October 2021
"Bought this for my very round cob and hope it will keep our saddle more secure on our adventures. So far so good!"
By Dawn on 29th October 2021
"The stubben girth is a great product and great quality, I would recommend it."
By Hannah on 17th August 2021
"I was recommended this girth by my saddler to prevent saddle slipping round on a cob-type (15hh Conemara). It worked, this is my second. I hand-wash or swish in cold/ hand warm water to avoid shrinkage and occasionally in fairy liquid (my horse has very sensitive skin and I worry about washing powder residue or enzymes from biological washing liquid). I have noticed on both black girths that the first couple of washes the water is very grey with a residue washing off the new girth.
The first one I've had 12 months, used in all weathers, on the gallops and through muddy lanes; it's great and still in as-new condition even using a martingale. Wanted a second girth as I'm slightly lazy and wanted a wash and wear. I don't dry the girth on a radiator, I hang it to drip dry, in the house or the barn so sometimes it can take 48hrs to fully dry. My horse has extremely sensitive skin and I have never had a rub. I'd recommend to anyone."
By EmmaTumelty on 28th July 2021
"Brilliant girth - nice and wide to help prevent slippage!"
By TaniaDraper on 20th July 2021
"Purchased the girth having seen the reviews on a Townfields Facebook post. Having issues with a sensitive youngster and having already tried a couple of different options, both of which ended up having to be tightened too much to try and stop the girth slipping, I thought I would give the Stubben string girth a go. Having used it for a few weeks now we both love it. No issues with putting the girth on her, I don't feel I need to over-tighten as the saddle does not move, and she does not sweat so much under it either. It has washed well, as others say it takes longer to dry than I expected, but not as much as a memory foam girth I used previously. Having grown up with the old fashioned string girths, I was slightly sceptical, but this girth is soft and well made. I will definitely be interested in a dressage version if they added the keepers that the reviewers say are missing!"
By NS on 5th June 2021

"Have used these girths before, probably one of the most straightforward girths on the market but ultimately the most comfortable. Competitive price and prompt delivery from Townfields."
By clairedohertygmailcom on 9th February 2021
"I bought this girth as was having problems with girths rubbing, have tried many girths but all rubbed. So far this stubben string girth is working! It's really soft too, am very happy with it."
By PaddieCessford on 24th January 2021
"This type of girth is the one I remember from my youth and I was surprised to see them still around. It was recommended by my saddler as it spreads the load and avoids pinch points. I already had one for one of my horses which works well and it’s really easy to rinse and dry quickly. As they don’t have elastic they are a little longer but I’m going to stick with this type of girth now. "
By KatrinaDoubleday on 22nd January 2021
"Stubben String Girth Brown 45" Lovely soft girth, this was recommended to me for my cob and I will happily recommend to others. I bought the brown as black was not in stock. Telephone advice was excellent, and service efficient."
By Izzy on 4th December 2020
"A great girth, recommended by my physio as it distributes pressure nicely apparently. Either way my girl seems happy in it and my saddle feels secure!"
