KM Elite Teddy Soft GP Long Girth Sleeve 80x12
Description
The KM Elite Teddy Soft Girth Sleeve is a plush fleece cover that slides over a standard girth to cushion the girth area and help prevent rubbing. It is made from Teddy Soft synthetic fleece that looks and feels like sheepskin, and this GP Long 80x12 version is best for horses in general purpose or jumping girths who are sensitive behind the elbow.
It suits everyday schooling, longer hacks and competition preparation, and is available in Black, Natural and Mocha so it can be matched to existing tack. Browse more horse tack and saddlery accessories to complete your set-up.
Key Features
- Sheepskin-look fleece: Teddy Soft synthetic fleece gives a soft, protective layer next to the horse's skin.
- Anti-rub cushioning: helps maximise protection against sores and chafing during long rides and daily training.
- GP Long coverage: the 80x12 profile protects a greater area of the girth than a short sleeve.
- Stays put: fits securely over standard girths and stays in place during rides.
- Quick to fit: easy on and off between sessions for sharing across girths.
- Three colours: Black, Natural and Mocha to coordinate with your tack.

FAQ
What size girth does the GP Long 80x12 sleeve fit?
It is designed to fit standard general purpose girths and measures 80 x 12. Measure your girth before ordering, as a short dressage girth will need a shorter sleeve.
Is it real sheepskin?
No. It is Teddy Soft synthetic fleece that mimics the look and feel of genuine sheepskin.
Will it stop my horse getting girth rubs?
The plush fleece cushions the contact area and reduces friction, which helps protect against sores and chafing. Persistent rubbing can also point to girth fit or shape, so check the girth itself as well.
Which way round does the sleeve go?
Fit it with the fleece side facing the horse's skin and make sure it sits evenly along the girth before you ride.
What colours are available?
Black, Natural and Mocha.
How do I care for it?
Brush out dried sweat and mud, wash as needed and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat so the fleece pile stays soft.
