Stubben Equi-Soft® Short Saddle Girth with Cover - Ebony

Stubben Equi-Soft® Short Saddle Girth with Cover - Ebony is a practical choice in the girths category. The Equi-Gentle® Saddle Saddle girth is an innovation for horses and riders that provides a unique combination of benefits: - Elastic Rings: The elastic rings of the Equi-Gentle saddle girth expand and contract with the horse's breathing, ensuring constant and uniform pressure distribution. This allows the horse to expand its chest comfortably. - Uniform Pressure Distribution: The saddle girth's anatomically shaped and fan-shaped design wraps around the chest from below and slightly to the sides, giving freedom of movement while significantly reducing girthiness. - Stress Reduction during Saddle girth Tightening: The elastic rings of the Equi-Gentle help reduce saddle girth pressure, minimizing stress levels in the horse. - Lower Heart Rate: A scientific study on various girths demonstrated that all horses showed a significantly lower heart rate when using the Equi-Gentle saddle girth. Colour and measurement options: The Equi-Gentle Saddle Saddle girth is offered in the leather colours Black, Ebony, and Tobacco. As a short saddle girth, Stuebben offer size options from 40 cm to 85 cm, while the long saddle girth is offered in size options from 100 cm to 150 cm. It is recommended to use the regular saddle girth length for your horse. Interchangeable Cushioning Options: Three different cover variants are easily replaceable through a Velcro system. The cover is offered in options of Lambskin, Vachette leather, and Neoprene. Ease of use and Durability: Leather is an excellent material choice due to its ease of use, durability, and compatibility with horses. Neoprene: Neoprene, a gentle and flexible material, is well-tolerated even by sensitive horses. It remains supple even when exposed to sweat and is remarkably easy to support (machine washable at 30°C). Lambskin: Lambskin cushioning supports blood circulation, is air-permeable, regulates temperature and humidity, and supports help prevent bruises, scars, chafing, and pressure sores. Important Note: For proper use of the Equi-Gentle saddle girth, help provide that the cover is correctly positioned on the saddle girth, and the holes are free. The center of the saddle girth should be placed centrally on the horse's saddle girth line. Even tension on both sides of the saddle girth is recommended for optimal pressure distribution. Do not tighten the saddle girth too much, as it may hinder chest expansion.
