Measuring girths and numnahs

[Jill Crewe]

Hello

This may seem like a silly question but I haven't bought any new stuff for a while!

When measuring girths do you measure the whole length including the buckles....or do you not iclude the buckles in the measurement?!?

Also, with regards to numnahs....my numnah measures 20" from front to back and is for a 14hh p/b welsh pony....would this be classed as pony/cob..?

Thanks in advance for your help

for girths include the buckles - as for the numnah it more depends on the size of your saddle - it sounds like one of 20" would fit a 17" saddle and above TBH so I'd have said cob/full

For numnahs try to measure your saddle - full is typically 17" to 18" saddle, Cob 16" to 16.5 and Pony 15" to 15.5". But they do vary according to the make so this is only a guide!
