Description
LeMieux Merino+ Anatomic Dressage Girth Cover
The LeMieux Merino+ Anatomic Dressage Girth Cover is a soft wool-blend sleeve that fits over the LeMieux Gel-Tek Anatomic Dressage Girth to cushion the girth area and help prevent rubbing. It is best for dressage and schooling horses that are sensitive behind the elbow, or for any rider who wants a breathable, easy-wash layer between girth and skin.
Made with a unique Australian Merino+ blend of 70% Merino wool and 30% acrylic, the dense pile shapes to the horse's body while a flexible backing lets the cover move naturally as the horse works. Hook and loop fastenings with elastic ends keep it securely in place, and the length can be trimmed to fit.

How to Use
- Lay your anatomic dressage girth flat and place the cover over it, wool side facing the horse.
- Measure the cover against the girth before cutting anything - the cover is designed to be trimmed to length.
- Trim a small amount at a time from the end until the cover matches your girth, leaving room for the elastic ends.
- Wrap the hook and loop tabs firmly around the girth and check the elastic ends sit neatly at each end.
- Girth up as normal, then run a hand between the cover and the horse to check the pile lies flat with no folds or twists.
- Brush out hair and dried sweat after use and wash regularly to keep the pile soft and open.

FAQ
Which girth does this cover fit?
It is designed to fit the LeMieux Gel-Tek Anatomic Dressage Girth. Because the length can be trimmed, it will also suit similarly shaped anatomic dressage girths, but always measure your own girth first.
What is Merino+ made from?
Merino+ is a unique Australian blend of 70% Merino wool and 30% acrylic, giving a dense, soft and dynamic structure that shapes to the horse's body.
Will it stop my horse being rubbed by the girth?
The soft wool structure and flexible backing are designed to shape to the horse's body and help prevent rubbing or discomfort in the girth area. Correct girth fit and tension still matter, so check the girth itself is the right size and shape for your horse.
How do I wash it?
Merino+ washes better and dries faster than wool. Brush off loose hair and dried mud first, then wash and allow to dry naturally away from direct heat.
How do I get the length right?
Measure the cover against your girth and trim gradually from the end. Material cannot be added back once cut, so remove only a little at a time and re-check the fit.
Does the cover stay in place when ridden?
Hook and loop fastenings with elastic ends secure the cover to the girth so it stays in position during work.
