LeMieux Merino+ Anatomic Short Stud Girth Cover
Description
LeMieux Merino+ Anatomic Short Stud Girth Cover
The LeMieux Merino+ Anatomic Short Stud Girth Cover is a soft wool-blend sleeve that fits over LeMieux Gel-Tek Anatomic Short Stud Girths to cushion the girth area. It is best for horses that rub or feel sensitive behind the elbow, and for riders who want extra comfort for schooling, jumping and competition without changing girth.
Made from the unique Australian Merino+ blend of 70% Merino wool and 30% acrylic, the dense dynamic pile shapes to your horse's body while a flexible backing lets the cover move with the girth. Merino+ washes better and dries faster than wool, which makes it a practical choice for busy yards.

How to Use
- Check your girth is an anatomic short stud pattern and lay it flat with the horse-side facing up.
- Position the girth cover centrally along the girth so the pile sits against the horse.
- Wrap the hook and loop fastenings around the girth and press firmly to secure, easing the elastic ends into place.
- If the cover is longer than your girth, trim the length gradually and re-check the fit before cutting further.
- Fit the girth as normal, then run a hand between the cover and the horse to check it lies flat with no folds.
- Brush out hair and grit after use and wash regularly to keep the pile soft.
