Hello,

I have often heard and read that the long belt is more comfortable for the horse, as the pressure is better distributed and not directly on the stomach of the horse.

However, it also depends on the type of saddle you are using – jumping saddles and versatility saddles have short trumps (usually) and therefore rather long belts are used.

Dressage saddles, on the other hand, have rather long scuffs, so mainly short belts are used.

Greetings:)

I have a short belt as I have a dressage saddle. I have one of Kavalkade, anatomically shaped and with memory material since my mare still has belt force and that takes well. The strap is without elasticity, as my sattler cuts off (sattle can slide). But is not yet in use. Had a similar from the crows before, but he had Elastik and the saddle slipped a little.

You can also use dressage saddles with long belt, you have to change the scribs. We did.

This first comes to the saddle, which belt must be used.

And then there are actually from every factory/execution which is in long and short, so all very easy.

You use the one that fits the saddle. Which models come into question can your sattler tell you.

I don’t understand the question completely…? You can only use the belt that is suitable for the saddle. Short or long belt trenches – the length of the belt depends on this.

Most often have saddles for smaller, rounder horses (Ponys, Isi, Hafis,…) Strupfen for a short belt, but many models can also be ordered as you want – long or short scribbling.

What the saddle says.

I almost have a short belt and I am one of the few who keeps it as long as possible. As it is right. Mattes has very nice examples. Both the models and the reasonably high belts.

The model depends on what the horse needs.

My pony with the belt layer far forward carries a lambskin moon strap from Euroriding currently.

I cannot call model; I prefer long-belts because I don’t like to hang “under horse” to go after. The buckles can also disturb the horse during the movement on the elbow.

We’ve got long belts from Mattes, because you can take off the coat.

Really, long belts at the dressage saddle? It’s really quite unusual.

Also the short cures are unfortunately simply too short, as you have to take a longhurt.. In addition, you can’t dress up so well

Most short belts are easy to short

But then find it interesting that some of you seem to have refitted, where short-belts on the dressage saddle are quite absurd in warm-blooded animals. I can understand the pony. Except for individual exceptions, there are only short belts that are often too short.

Let yourself be upgraded. The training horses in “my” schooling also had short belts; they have been changed by now. Probably, the riding instructors were sorry to always have to help with post-belts when they were as “garden” as I sat on it. The beginners can’t h it alone, and the older semester no longer…🤭

Shortly short is just fucking, the buckle is the arc in the way, it sucks to strap and it looks stupid, as if what would be missing

This one just as an example – like almost all dressage saddles with long ribs for short belt.

I do not know a “modern” model of dressage saddles, which is strapped with a long belt. And I doubt you bought old dressage saddles…
