Its key benefit is the dense Merino wool blend that molds to the horse's shape, preventing chafing. A potential caveat is the need for specific cool wash care to maintain the material's integrity.

Yes, the girth cover is designed with a length that can be trimmed using scissors to achieve a custom fit. Ensure you measure carefully before cutting, as this modification is permanent.
The girth cover is made from a dense Merino wool blend, consisting of 70% Merino wool and 30% acrylic. This blend balances the benefits of natural wool with enhanced durability and washability.
It is recommended to wash the girth cover after each use, especially if your horse sweats heavily, to maintain hygiene and prevent skin irritation. Follow the care instructions for best results.
It is particularly beneficial for horses with sensitive skin due to the soft, conforming Merino wool. However, its anatomical design and breathability make it a comfortable option for most horses.
The cover is specifically designed to fit LeMieux Gel-Tek jump saddle straps. While it might fit other girths, the fit and security may be optimized with the intended LeMieux system.
You should use a cool wash cycle, typically 30°C or 40°C, with a non-biological detergent. Avoid high temperatures and tumble drying.
No, Merino wool is known for its excellent breathability and temperature-regulating properties. The blend is designed to wick moisture and allow airflow, keeping the horse comfortable.
Ensure the Velcro closures are securely fastened. Check that the girth straps are correctly positioned through the loops on the cover. Consider trimming the length if it is too long and potentially causing looseness.
Ensure the cover is clean and free from debris. Verify that the girth itself is not causing undue pressure. Double-check that the cover is not twisted or bunched, which could create friction points. Ensure you are using the cool wash setting and appropriate detergent.
Ensure the washing machine is not overloaded. Hang the cover to air dry away from direct heat sources. Do not tumble dry. Merino wool naturally wicks moisture, but the dense blend may take longer to dry fully than synthetic materials.
Setup: The girth cover features Velcro closures with elastic ends designed to fit securely around your existing girth. For a personalized fit, the length of the cover can be carefully cut. Ensure it is positioned smoothly against the horse's skin without any folds or creases before tightening the girth.
Compatibility: This girth cover is specifically designed to fit LeMieux Gel-Tek jump saddle straps. While it may fit other girths, optimal performance and fit are achieved when used with the intended LeMieux system.
Care: Machine washable on a cool wash (30°C or 40°C). It is recommended to use a non-biological detergent and allow the cover to air dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying or high heat, as this can damage the Merino wool blend and affect the material's properties. Wash with similar colours.
