Our short stud girths are contoured in a way to allow the horse to have total freedom through the elbow area when jumping. This style of girth as with our other girths is made of super soft premium calf skin with a harder leather strike shield where there is a strike risk from the horses’ hooves. Made using a buckle and a D ring as this way of manufacturing the girth causes no pressure points when the girth is pulled tight on the horse. As with our well known and popular short softie this girth is easy for the rider to tighten up themselves as there are no keepers and crew holes to thread the girth straps through however the girth straps buckles are fixed in a way so they will not pull up and rub on the horses skin.. Available with or without elastic and in all the Ryder colours and a thread colour of your choice.
