Can I use this girth for everyday riding and competition?
Yes, its design prioritizes both comfort and performance, making it suitable for a wide range of riding activities.
How do I clean the faux fur lining?
Use a stiff brush to remove debris before washing. Machine wash at 30°C on a wool cycle or hand wash with a wool wash. Avoid fabric softeners and never tumble dry. Brush gently after washing before air drying.
Can I attach training aids to this girth?

What are the benefits of the faux fur lining?
The high-density faux fur lining is soft, lightweight, and breathable, providing excellent cushioning to prevent rubbing and minimize heat buildup.
What should I do if I notice dye transfer?
Dye transfer is rare. Ensure the girth is properly rinsed after washing. If it occurs, seek advice from equestrian professionals for coat stain removal.
Can I use a standard fabric softener when washing?
No, it is recommended to avoid using strong fabric softeners as they can degrade the material of the girth and its lining.
Troubleshooting
Dye transfer to grey coat
This is a rare occurrence. Ensure the girth is thoroughly rinsed after washing. If it happens, consult a professional groom for advice on stain removal for horse coats.
Faux fur becomes matted
Ensure you are using a wool wash and avoiding fabric softeners. Brush the faux fur gently after washing and before air drying. Avoid tumble drying, which can cause matting.
Girth seems stiff after washing
After washing, gently straighten and flatten the cotton fabric. Air drying near a heat source can help restore flexibility. Avoid harsh detergents.
