Manufactured under license from Fairfax Saddles Ltd, this design of girth is scientifically proven to dramatically increase the horse’s freedom of movement while the high tech fabric used is four times more abrasion resistant than leather, wicks moisture so stays dry, is thermo regulating so stays cool, is breathable, antibacterial and hypoallergenic.

The benefits of this girth design for flatwork include:

• Increases front leg extension
• Greatly reduces pressure
• Increases hock flexion

The benefits of this girth design for jumping include:

• Improves neatness over the fence
• Greatly reduces pressure
• Increases power on take off

Available in both standard fit and narrow gauge option for horses measuring less than 20cm between the front legs.

The Performance Girth

Kept secret to give a competitive advantage to Team GBR

Abstract from The Veterinary Journal

The Fairfax Girth is a luxury item and needs maintaining well.  The girth should be well cleaned with warm water 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.

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

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.
