Black calfskin padded horse girth Equi-Soft

The Equi-Soft® girth: more freedom of movement and optimal breathing for your horse
The Equi-Soft® girth is an innovation for horses and riders that offers a range of unique benefits:

Elastic rings: the elastic rings of the Equi-Soft® girth adjust to the horse's breathing movements, ensuring constant pressure distribution. The thoracic cage can therefore expand without constraints with each breath.
Uniform pressure distribution: the ergonomic fan shape of the girth distributes pressure evenly across the horse's thoracic cage, providing great freedom of movement while reducing reactions during girthing.
Reduced stress during girthing: the elastic rings of the Equi-Soft provide more comfort for the horse, which helps to reduce stress at the time of girthing.
Decreased heart rate: a scientific study has shown that horses ridden with the Equi-Soft girth have a significantly lower heart rate.
Colour and size options: available in Black, Ebony, and Tobacco leather. The short girth is offered in lengths ranging from 40 cm to 85 cm, while the long girth is available in lengths from 100 cm to 150 cm. We recommend choosing the same girth size that you usually use for your horse.

Interchangeable padding options: the padding of the girth can be easily swapped out thanks to a velcro system. The padding is available in lambskin, cowhide, and Neoprene.

Leather is an unmatched material in terms of comfort and durability. It is very well accepted by horses, including those with allergy-prone skin.

Neoprene is a very soft and flexible material that is also well tolerated by sensitive horses. Even if the horse sweats a lot, Neoprene remains pliable and is easy to care for (machine washable at 30°C).

Our lambskin padding promotes blood circulation, is breathable, and regulates temperature and humidity in summer and winter. Additionally, lambskin prevents bruises, scarring, irritation, and lesions.

Important: to use the Equi-Soft girth correctly, ensure that the padding is properly positioned on the girth to cover the corners and edges. The centre of the girth should be positioned in the middle of the horse's girth passage. For optimal pressure distribution, we advise tightening the girth at the same holes on both sides. Do not tighten the girth too much, as this could hinder the expansion of the thoracic cage.
