LeMieux Merino+ Anatomic Jumping Girth Cover for Horses
Description
LeMieux Merino+ Anatomic Jumping Girth Cover
The LeMieux Merino+ Anatomic Jumping Girth Cover is a soft wool-blend sleeve designed to fit LeMieux Gel-Tek Anatomic Jumping Girths. It sits between the girth and the horse to add breathable cushioning and help prevent rubbing in the girth area, making it best for jumping and schooling horses that are sensitive behind the elbow.
Made from a unique Australian Merino+ blend of 70% Merino wool and 30% acrylic, the dense, dynamic wool structure moulds to your horse's shape while a flexible backing lets it move with the girth. Compared with plain wool, Merino+ washes better and dries faster, which suits riders who need kit clean and ready between competitions. Browse more LeMieux favourites to coordinate your set.

How to Use
- Measure your anatomic jumping girth and lay the cover alongside it before trimming.
- Open the hook and loop fastenings and slide the cover over the girth, wool side against the horse.
- Position the cover centrally so it covers the area that contacts the skin behind the elbow.
- Trim the length gradually, a little at a time, until the cover sits neatly on the girth.
- Close all hook and loop fastenings and check the elastic ends lie flat.
- Girth up as normal, then check the girth area after the first few rides for even contact.
FAQ
Which girths does this cover fit?
It is designed to fit LeMieux Gel-Tek Anatomic Jumping Girths. The length can be trimmed to fit, so measure your girth and compare before cutting.
What is Merino+ made from?
Merino+ is a unique Australian blend of 70% Merino wool and 30% acrylic, giving a dense and soft dynamic wool structure with a flexible backing.
Will it stop my horse being rubbed by the girth?
The wool structure shapes to your horse's body to help prevent rubbing or discomfort in the girth area. Correct girth fit and tension still matter, so check the skin behind the elbow regularly.
How do I wash it?
Merino+ washes better and dries faster than wool. Brush off dried mud and hair first, then dry naturally away from direct heat to keep the fibres soft.
How does it stay in place?
Hook and loop fastenings with elastic ends secure the cover to the girth so it does not slip during work.
Can I trim it if it is too long?
Yes. The cover is designed to be trimmed to length. Cut gradually and re-check the fit each time, as material cannot be added back.
