The Performance Girth - Narrow Gauge for horses/ponies with less than 20cm between front legs

Designed specifically to fit those horses (and most ponies) with a narrower rib cage.  To check whether a horse falls into the narrow gauge category, measure the flat area between the horse’s elbows.  If the measurement is less than 20cm then the narrow gauge version is needed to ensure a perfect fit between the front legs.

  Kept secret to give a competitive advantage to Team GBR

Increases the horse’s performance by:

•  Dramatically reducing pressure
• Significantly increasing range of movement
• Eliminating gait asymmetry

The only girth to have been tested during its development in conjunction with the BEF World Class Programme.  During squad training, Centaur Biomechanics gait analysis was used to test the effect of the girth on the horses’ performance.  “We recorded up to 33% improvement in forelimb protraction and general range of motion of every elite horse we tested” *

*results were compared to the horses’ own girth Russell Guire of Centaur Biomechanics

Abstract from The Veterinary Journal

The Fairfax Girth is a luxury item and needs maintaining well.  The girth should be well cleaned with a damp sponge after use and fed with leather feeder after EVERY use.  Glycerin and oil should not be used as they seal the sweat into the leather and this is what causes the leather to crack over a period of time.
