Give Your Horse the Freedom to FlyIf you've ever felt your horse shortening their stride or pinning their ears during a jump, you know how much a restrictive girth can hold them ba ck. The Arma Performance Anatomic Girth by Shires is designed to eliminate that interference, giving your horse the shoulder clearance they need to perform at their peak without the risk of pinching or girth galls.At Hooves & Paws, we love this girth because it combines technical precision with horse-first comfort. It’s not just about keeping your saddle secure; it’s about ensuring your horse feels as free and athletic as possible, whether you're schooling at home or heading into a high-stakes show jumping round.Why Riders Love the Arma Performance Girth Maximum Shoulder Clearance. The contoured anatomical shape is specifically cut back at the elbows to prevent interference, allowing for full, unrestricted movement during athletic extension. Customized Pressure Relief. A heat-responsive memory foam lining molds to your horse’s unique rib shape, creating a bespoke fit that distributes pressure evenly and reduces the risk of soreness. Advanced Moisture Management. The 3D aerated outer surface promotes superior airflow, managing heat and moisture buildup during intense cross-country or jumping sessions. Secure and Stable Fit. While the inner nylon core prevents over-stretching, the generous double-layer elastic ends provide the perfect amount of "give" to keep the saddle stable without restricting your horse's breathing.

Who It’s ForShow jumpers, eventers, and performance riders looking for maximum elbow freedom and pressure relief in a long girth for double-flap saddles.Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: How do I measure for the Arma Performance Anatomic Girth?This is a long girth designed for double-flap (Jumping or GP) saddles. To find your size, measure from the middle billet hole on one side, under the belly, to the middle billet hole on the other side.Q: Does the elastic stretch out over time?The Arma Performance Anatomic Girth features a non-stretch nylon core to maintain its integrity, but the double-layer elastic ends are quite generous. If you are between sizes, we often recommend choosing the smaller size to ensure a stable fit as the elastic settles.Q: Is this girth suitable for horses with sensitive skin?Yes! The combination of the anatomical "FreedomFit" cut and the memory foam lining makes it an excellent choice for horses prone to pinching or those who are sensitive about being girthed up.Item Number/SKU: 723BLK40 Show more
