Product Information
Full details
The Hy Equestrian Girth Sleeve is designed for horse owners seeking to enhance their horse's comfort and protect their girth. It effectively prevents rubbing, chafing, and girth galls, making it an excellent choice for sensitive horses. A minor caveat is that it adds a layer, which might require slight adjustment for some girths. This sleeve slides over your existing girth, offering a soft barrier that ensures a more comfortable experience for your horse and helps maintain the cleanliness of your girth.

FAQs
How often should I wash the girth sleeve?
It is recommended to wash the sleeve regularly, ideally after every few uses, or whenever it appears dirty or soiled, to maintain hygiene and comfort for your horse.
Can I use this sleeve with any type of girth?
The sleeve is designed to fit most standard girths. It is available in two sizes (80cm x 13cm and 150cm x 14cm) to accommodate a wide range of girth lengths and widths.
Is this sleeve suitable for all horses?
Yes, it is particularly beneficial for horses with sensitive skin that are prone to rubbing, chafing, or girth galls. However, any horse can benefit from the added comfort.
Does the sleeve help keep the girth clean?
Yes, the sleeve acts as a protective barrier, preventing sweat, mud, and debris from directly contacting and accumulating on the girth, thereby helping to keep it cleaner.
What are the available colors?
The Hy Equestrian Girth Sleeve is available in Black, Cream, and Brown.
How do I know which size to order?
Measure the length and width of your girth. The sleeve is available in 80cm x 13cm and 150cm x 14cm. Choose the size that most closely matches your girth dimensions for the best fit.
Can I leave the sleeve on the girth all the time?
While you can leave it on for convenience, it is best to remove the sleeve periodically to clean both the sleeve and the girth underneath, ensuring optimal hygiene and preventing any potential issues from trapped moisture or dirt.
Troubleshooting
Sleeve appears to be slipping or bunching.
Ensure the girth is clean and dry before applying the sleeve. Make sure you have selected the correct size for your girth and that it is applied smoothly without any folds.
Horse still shows signs of discomfort.
Check the fit of the girth itself, as well as the sleeve. Ensure there are no rough edges on the girth underneath. For persistent issues, consult with a veterinarian or equine professional.
Sleeve is difficult to slide onto the girth.
Slightly dampen the girth or the inside of the sleeve to help it slide more easily. Ensure you are using the correct size; a sleeve that is too small will be difficult to fit.
