Description
LeMieux Merino+ Anatomic Long Stud Girth Cover
The LeMieux Merino+ Anatomic Long Stud Girth Cover is a soft wool-blend sleeve that fits over LeMieux Gel-Tek Anatomic Long Stud Girths to cushion the girth area. It is best for horses that are sensitive or prone to rubbing behind the elbow, and for riders who want a breathable, easy-wash layer for daily schooling, hacking and competition.
Made from a unique Australian Merino+ blend of 70% Merino wool and 30% acrylic, the dense pile moulds to the horse's shape while a flexible backing lets the cover move with the girth. Hook and loop fastenings with elastic ends keep it securely in place, and the length can be trimmed to fit.

How to Use
- Lay the girth flat and place the cover over it, fleece side down towards the horse.
- Check the length against the girth and trim any excess with sharp scissors before fastening.
- Wrap the hook and loop fastenings around the girth and secure, with the elastic ends holding each end in place.
- Fit the girth as normal, smoothing the fibre flat so there are no folds or creases against the skin.
- After work, check the girth area for heat or rubbing and brush hair and sweat from the pile.
- Wash when the pile becomes matted or greasy and allow to dry naturally before reuse.
