Crafted from premium real lambskin, this cover adds a soft, protective layer between the horse and the girth, ensuring a luxurious and irritation-free experience.

FAQs
Can I use regular laundry detergent to wash this?
No, you must use a specialized fur or sheepskin detergent to preserve the natural oils in the leather and the softness of the wool.
Will this fit a jumping girth?
This model is specifically designed for the HKM Dressage girth (item 14562) and may not provide the correct coverage for differently shaped jumping or eventing girths.
How do I prevent the velcro from getting clogged with hair?
Regularly brush the area near the velcro and keep the fasteners closed when not in use or during washing to keep the hook-and-loop mechanism clear.
Is the lambskin synthetic or real?
The HKM Lambskin Girth Cover is made from premium real lambskin.
Can I tumble dry the cover on a low heat setting?
No, the product is not suitable for dryer use. Tumble drying will damage the lambskin and the leather backing.
Troubleshooting
The cover slides during the ride
Check that the velcro straps are pulled tight and securely fastened against the girth material.
The wool feels stiff after washing
Ensure you used a fur-specific detergent and that you allowed it to air dry slowly; avoid heat sources which can cause the leather to dry out.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
To attach, align the cover along the length of the girth and fold the velcro straps around the girth material. Ensure the edges of the girth are completely covered by the wool to prevent any direct contact with the horse's skin.
Compatibility:
This cover is manufactured to fit the HKM Dressage girth (Item 14562). While it may fit other similar dressage girths, it is optimized for the specific dimensions of the HKM model.
Care Instructions:
- Always close all velcro fastenings before washing to prevent damage to the wool.
- Use only a dedicated fur or sheepskin-safe detergent.
- Machine wash using a specialized delicate or wool wash cycle.
- Important: Never place in a dryer. Air dry naturally in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather backing from hardening.
