A favorite among saddle fitters, upper level riders and picky horses! This girth has been a game changer for horses that are girthy! We designed the Pressure Relief Comfort Short Girth with the horse in mind. Thick, washable fleece pads, leather pads, or real sheepskin pads cover the sternum and buckle areas to relieve pressure points, and it also holds the elastic away from sensitive areas along the rib cage. Padding available in faux fleece, leather or real sheepskin. Care instructions: Faux fleece: machine washed separately and lay flat to dry. Leather: Clean with leather cleaner and conditioner. Sheepskin: Hand wash with sheepskin cleaner and lay flat to dry. Important: Our customer service agents are here to help! Please email us at [email protected] or text photos of your horse tacked up to 910-638-4635 with current girth size information if you are at all unsure of your horses size or how to fit a girth. Girth measurement does include buckles. Due to high demand some girths are not available. Please keep checking back for restock. Please follow sizing instructions on product photos for best results. Pad sizing is not interchangeable with difference size girths.
