Equi-Sential Fur Girth Sleeve — Soft Protection Where Your Horse Needs It
The Equi-Sential Fur Girth Sleeve is a soft fur cover that slides over a standard width girth to create a cushioning layer between the girth and your horse. It is best for riders spending long hours in the saddle, and for horses that are sensitive or prone to rubbing in the girth area.

FAQ
What is a fur girth sleeve for?

Yes, provided the girth itself is a standard width. Fit is determined by the girth, not the size of the horse.
How do I clean it?
Brush off loose hair and dried mud after use and allow the sleeve to dry naturally away from direct heat or radiators.
