Antares Belly Guard Girth - Leather Part

Belly guard girth - leather part

The girth's synthetic sheepskin lining combines comfort and support and prevents chafing. The girth must be paired with a synthetic sheepskin lining(sold separately) for proper use. It also features an Easy Clip fastening system covered with a leather flap to prevent any risk of snagging.

The girth's anatomic shape frees up the horse's front legs and elbows giving the horse greater freedom of movement and locomotion compared to a classic riding girth. Two side rings make attaching the training aids easy while the lateral elastic cords make girthing the horse a more pleasant task. 

Its anatomic design helps the horse breath more easily and reduces the risk of injury. For added comfort, the synthetic sheepskin lining (sold separately), reduces the risk of chafing on horses with sensitive skin. This liner is both washable and hypoallergenic. 

The Easy Clip fastening system is covered with a leather flap to reduce the risk of snagging with the horse's forelegs.

The girth is delivered in an Antarès girth bag
