Long Girth Pad - Anatomical and Comfortable Saddle Pad
Product Features
Unlike traditional saddle pads, it features an extended protective line that also covers the area where the girth passes. It prevents direct contact between the saddle and the girth with the horse's body, preventing friction, shedding, and skin irritation. The high-quality, breathable padding quickly absorbs sweat from the horse's back, ensuring dryness throughout the ride. Thanks to its extended structure, it distributes girth pressure over a wider area, increasing comfort in the horse's chest and abdominal region. Its durable outer fabric and reinforced stitching ensure it retains its shape and doesn't slip even with intensive use.
Product Description
The Long Girth Pad is a special protective equipment designed especially for horses with sensitive skin and riders who ride for extended periods. The additional wings that extend towards the girth area where standard pads end soften the compressive pressure the girth exerts on the horse's body. This design prevents injuries known as "girth kicks" and helps the saddle sit more stably on the horse's back. Its anatomical cut perfectly fits the shoulder and back line without restricting the horse's freedom of movement.
Technical Advantages and Profitability
Pressure Distribution: The long girth line balances the weight of the saddle and the tension of the girth not only on the back but also on the sides, relieving the horse. Sweat Management: The porous inner fabric expels heat generated during intense training, preventing moisture buildup under the skin and fungal infections. Non-Slip Design: Its structure, which fits snugly under the saddle and is secured with girth straps, prevents the pad from slipping on uneven terrain or during jumps. Skin Health: It prevents the girth buckles from coming into contact with the horse's skin, preventing injuries caused by metal-leather friction. Easy Care: It can be washed in a washing machine at a low temperature and is suitable for daily use thanks to its quick-drying materials.
Areas of Use
Long-distance trail riding and endurance training. Horses with sensitive skin prone to friction and irritation in the girth area. Disciplines such as dressage and show jumping where maximum stability of the saddle and girth is required. To protect the horse's back health and increase its comfort during daily training.
