1. (top) Athletico: For horses with an athletic, wedge-shaped physique. The design of the girth prevents the saddle and girth from sliding back

2. Asymmetric: For horses whose girth groove is closer to the elbows or less well-defined, this girth is significantly contoured at front the around the elbow area.

3. Crescent: If a horse has a short back, a broad ribcage or a narrow chest, the girth often slips forward – the crescent shape prevents this.

4. (bottom) Anatomical: For horses with a well-defined girth groove, this girth is contoured a little at the front and back around the elbow area.
