A revolutionary dressage girth; the pressure from the girth is directed on the horses sternum, which less sensitive to pressure, and the special shape and innovative use of materials protects the delicate area around the elbow. This girth plays an important role in optimising the equipment used to improve performance.
The F2 cut which is ergonomically designed to accommodate horses with a forward girth groove, now available with a sheepskin liner. This girth comes with 2 removable sheepskin liners.
N.B Colours Ranch (tan) and Military (red brown) are made to order and not held in stock.
The new girth by Prestige is made of a round shaped panel and an expressly modified jumping or dressage girth; the girth slides inside the panel.

Review from Annemarie Edgerton-Bright, Musclebound Equine Therapist "It is unheard of me to be amazed by a horse gadget but I am just that. The new Prestige girth..... I call it the donut girth. After seeing amazing improvement in the movement, back stress and pain of some customers that have used it, I tried it for myself.The girth works by removing pressure from the rib cage allowing the ribs to open fully, it takes pressure away from the ascending pectorials and the serratus muscle allowing the horse free movement through the shoulder and across the ribs. It does not place pressure on the back muscles and tendons allowing freedom of movement over the back. The counter saddle stability pressure is placed on the sternum directly under the saddle and as the girth slides through the padded ring there is no tension, or restriction in the ribs as the foreleg extends and the saddle stays perfectly balanced across the back. The design also makes it difficult to over girth. Although not cheap it is definitely an investment worth making. Many times it is not the saddle causing the problems but the girth."

We suggest that you an addtional 10cm on your normal girth size to give enough room for the central ring.

Kept secret to give a competitive advantage to Team GBR
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
Please Note: The Short Girth Comes With a D-Ring attachment and Heavy Strap.

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 Pro girth is designed to give more freedom to the shoulder. The shaping of this girth is a more close contact design for the horse to avoid any gaping at the front that can occur with some anatomicaly shaped girths, it also helps to distribute pressure more evenly over the sternum.

Popular short girth with SOFT EDGE and POLY-FLEX®
Our famous MATTES short girth with removable lambskin cover and ingenious SOFT EDGE: The quality lambskin has generous cutouts on both long edges to avoid edge pressure and chafing, just like all our other girths. The basic girth is padded with POLY-FLEX® inserts, finished with elasticated stainless steel buckles and a D-ring for a martingale.
Athletico: This girth has a specific fit adapted to horses with an athletic, wedge shaped body. The saddle has a tendency to slip backwards, also pulling the girth backwards, because all the lines of the horses body: back, ribcage and sternum to belly taper towards the rear. So, instead of opening to the rear this girth simply opens to the front, to a degree! Naturally, the internal construction is essential for the function of the girth! We developed this design, because this specific problem was pointed out to us by several riders and horse owners on quite a few jumpers and specifically in eventing horses!

High quality lambskin saddle girth in the asymmetric shape. For horses whose girth groove is closer to the elbows or less well-defined, where the girth tends to sit further forward. The girth is significantly contoured at the front around the elbow area.

High quality lambskin saddle girth in the crescent shape. For “round” horses with a short back and broad ribcage or narrow chest. The special shape of this girth works with the shape of the ribs so that the girth cannot slip forwards.

**Please order the girth pad here Equisoft Girth Pad (this girth cannot be used without an associated pad)**
Its ingenious and exclusive system of elastic rings offers perfect girth pressure distribution, eliminates the feeling of pressure and the complaints of the horse when being girthed. Its special design allows the horse to expand its chest when needed during exercise. The elastic rings expand and contract with the rib cage, maintaining a uniform tension.
Special design allows the girth cover to be changed in seconds and you can order with whichever cover you prefer.
In a Comparative study of girths:
All horses, without exception, maintained much lower heart rates when using the Stübben/Equi-Soft® girth.
IMPORTANT ADVICE:
To correctly use the Equi-Soft® girth, the center of the girth must be positioned symmetrically in the center of the horses girth line. Never adjust only one side, the tension should be similar on both sides of the girth
