Almost Good
Maybe this has worked for some, but I've tried this now a handful of times. First time size was too small because of how thick it is (it's a beautiful nice fleece though). There are no keepers on the other side of the girth which is nutty, so your billets stick out the whole time which looks awful and feels like you are almost catching the elbow. The other pain point is the spring loaded buckle. VERY difficult to put through the first hole and to take off. Unfortunately stuck with it for a good two weeks, so not in pristine enough condition to return it. Smartpak, would love if you put regular buckles on this girth and keepers, as it would make a lovely piece of equipment at a nice price point!

Soft fleece, great price
I like this girth however I would like to design changes. The billet slots above the buckles are tight and make it a little tricky getting the billet through them. I’m not a fan of the spring on the buckle which I did not see in the description. And there is no slot to tuck the billet into as others have said. I hate when my billets are not tucked away neatly so I hope they stay tucked into the fleece cover. I would have give the girth a higher rating if the billet slots were bigger before the buckles and there was something after the buckles.

D rings placement
This is a well made girth, except the placement of the D rings. This girth would have rubbed my horse raw. I thought about just cutting them off. But sent it back. I'll keep looking. SP was great as always

I purchased this after returning the Mattes as it doesn't have any keepers. This one is a similar shape as the mattes and the cover is removable....however, the ends where the buckles are and the velcro attaches are curved in and very hard. Their keepers are very narrow and difficult to push the billet straps into. The idea is good.....but whoever chose the material isn't keeping the true comfort of the horse in mind.....I will continue my search for a good girth.

Terrible design
Unless I received a defective girth, it’s hard to understand the good reviews. The girth I received had rigid sewn ends adjacent to the buckles which curved inward. No amount of bending would flatten them. On the horse, the ends stuck into his sides, making the girth painful and unusable. Returned.

High Quality Girth
I love this girth and so does my picky horse! It cleans up great and she prefers it over the other much more expensive one I purchased.

Contoured Dressage girth with sheepskin
I'm sending it back. Too expensive and I don't like the way it fits him.... and the sheepskin cover should be replaceable.
