The Shires ARMA Anti-Chafe Dressage Girth is an ideal solution for riders seeking to protect their horses from skin irritation and sores during training sessions. Designed with a moisture-wicking waffle surface and anatomical shaping, this girth offers superior comfort and unrestricted movement for the horse; however, users should ensure they select the correct length for their specific saddle and horse combination to achieve optimal pressure distribution.

Wipe it down with a damp cloth after every use. For deeper cleaning, use mild soap and water, then air dry away from direct heat.
Yes, the textured waffle surface and anatomical shape are specifically designed to reduce friction and prevent sores.
The stainless steel hardware does not require oiling. Keeping it free of debris is sufficient for smooth operation.
This girth is specifically shaped for dressage saddles. It is recommended to use an appropriate jumping girth for saddles with forward-cut flaps.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the nylon and elastic components.
Clear any dried sweat or dirt from the roller mechanism and ensure the girth is not over-tightened when horse is at rest.
Verify that you have selected the correct size; if the girth is too long, it may cause the buckles to sit too high near the saddle flaps, hindering adjustment.
To set up the girth, ensure that the elastic ends are positioned equally on both sides of the saddle to maintain balanced pressure distribution. Always check that the girth is centered under the horse's sternum to avoid uneven pulling. For care, the nylon material is low-maintenance; simply wipe the girth down with a damp cloth after each ride to remove sweat and debris. If it becomes heavily soiled, it can be gently scrubbed with mild soap and water. Always inspect the stitching and the integrity of the elastic inserts before every ride to ensure safety and equipment reliability.
