FAQs
Is the memory foam removable for washing?
The memory foam is integrated into the construction of the girth and is not designed to be removed; please hand wash the entire unit.
Can I use this girth for jumping?
Yes, the design is suitable for various disciplines including jumping, thanks to the flexible elastic inserts.
Does this girth come in different colors?
Yes, it is available in both Black and Brown to match your existing tack set.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure your horse from the middle of the girth billet on one side, under the belly, to the corresponding billet on the other side.
Will the stainless steel rust?
The hardware is made from high-quality stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust and corrosion under normal stable conditions.
Troubleshooting
Buckles are stiff or difficult to turn.
Check for debris or dried sweat in the roller mechanism and rinse with warm water to clear the hinges.
Girth feels loose during long rides.
Ensure the girth is correctly tensioned from both sides and verify that the billets are not stretched or worn.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum longevity, place the girth evenly across the horse's sternum to avoid lopsided pressure. The stainless steel fittings are compatible with most standard girth billets on English-style saddles. For care, gently brush off dried mud or hair after each use. Periodically wash the nylon and foam material with mild soap and cool water, then allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Avoid using harsh chemicals or industrial cleaners, as these can break down the memory foam's structural integrity over time.
