It is designed for riders using long-billet dressage style saddles who want even pressure distribution, a secure saddle position and a lining that can be removed and washed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe contoured cut allows freedom of the muscles behind the elbow while helping to prevent the saddle from slipping. Slightly elasticated straps add a little flexibility without compromising stability, and a D-ring lets you attach training aids for schooling and groundwork. It is best for horses with sensitive skin, for daily flatwork, and for anyone who wants a smart leather girth that stays comfortable through longer sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft, supple leather:\u003c\/strong\u003e absorbs pressure evenly across the surface area of the girth\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContoured shaping:\u003c\/strong\u003e comfort and freedom of movement, helps stop the saddle slipping\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetachable simulation wool lining:\u003c\/strong\u003e breathable, cushioning and easy to clean\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimits sweat build-up:\u003c\/strong\u003e a considered option for sensitive-skinned horses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eD-ring fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e easy attachment of training aids\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCarabiner clip:\u003c\/strong\u003e finished with a cross-over leather base cover\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSlightly elasticated straps:\u003c\/strong\u003e flexibility without affecting saddle stability\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeMieux\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArika Simuwool Contoured Long Girth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eGirth Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLong girth for long-billet (dressage style) saddles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOuter Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoft, supple leather\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eLining\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDetachable simulation wool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFittings\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD-ring for training aids, carabiner clip with leather base cover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eElastic\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlightly elasticated straps\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContoured \/ anatomically shaped\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIndia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more saddlery essentials in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/girths\"\u003egirths collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eCheck the simulation wool lining is clean, dry and correctly attached along the length of the girth.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFasten the girth loosely on the offside billets first, keeping the smooth leather against the horse.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMove to the nearside and take the girth up gradually, a hole at a time on each side.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDraw each foreleg forward in turn to release any trapped skin behind the elbow.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecheck and adjust the tension after a few minutes of walking, before you mount.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAfter riding, remove the lining for washing and wipe the leather clean before storing.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size long girth do I need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasure your current long girth from buckle end to buckle end and order the same length.
