Carefully designed with spaces for fittings to maintain a refined feel, its handcrafted stitch detail further enhances its smart appearance. This girth features a strong and hard-wearing outer leather that flexes but resists stretching for longevity. It has high-quality stainless steel fittings and twin girth buckles with rollers. The butter-soft calf leather lining is comfortable against the body, and the symmetry-promoting, contoured, and cut-away form provides an ergonomic, natural fit.

Smooth girth edges are padded and curve away from the horse to prevent a 'cut-in' edge.
