Product Information

Full details

This LeMieux Merino+ Anatomic Jumping Girth Cover is designed for horse owners seeking superior comfort and protection for sensitive-skinned horses. Its key benefit is the dense Merino wool blend that naturally molds to the horse's girth area, preventing chafing and offering exceptional breathability. A minor caveat is that while the blend is designed for better washing and faster drying than pure wool, it still requires specific care to maintain its properties.

Troubleshooting

Girth cover appears to be slipping

Ensure the Velcro closures are securely fastened and that the girth itself is not overly loose. If necessary, trim the cover to a more precise length.

Horse shows signs of irritation

Check that the girth cover is clean and free of debris. Ensure it is fitted smoothly without any creases. Consider if the girth tightness needs adjustment.
