Prolite Long Girth

The Prolite Long Girth has been designed with your horse in mind, scientifically proven to increase your horse's freedom of movement.

The well thought out design has strategically placed cushioning which allows the front edge of the girth to "float" and in turn this allows the horse's muscles to move underneath it, rather than being blocked by it.

How to measure your horse for the right size girth:

• Measured in the standard way - buckle end to buckle end.
• Narrow gauge girths are designed specifically to fit horses (and ponies) with a narrower rib cage.
• Horses with a forward girth groove will also benefit from the increased elbow clearance provided by a narrow gauge girth
• If your horse has wrinkly skin behind his elbows, opt for the narrow gauge version.
• Make sure you fit the girth with the curved section facing forward (towards the forelimbs). The front of the girth is clearly marked.
• For a short (dressage or event girth) fit the longest length possible so the buckles fasten away from the pressure-sensitive area behind the elbow. When fully tightened, the top edge of the girth should be as close to the bottom edge of the saddlecloth as possible. On a dressage saddle, aim to have two billet holes remaining on both sides.
• On a long girth, the buckles should fasten on the sweat flap, away from the horse's skin, just like any normal long girth.

Benefits

• Reduces pressure.
• Wicks moisture so your horse stays dry.
• Antibacterial and hypoallergenic.
