Our “Soho” girth was developed to distribute pressure evenly and give your horse maximum freedom of movement. The anatomical fit follows the natural line of the girth area and leaves the shoulder enough room so your horse can reach freely forward. Especially with sensitive horses or intensive training work, this shape makes a clear difference. Fewer pressure points mean more relaxation, better breathing, and a calmer saddle position.
 

• Anatomical fit, more freedom for the shoulder: The shape of the girth follows the horse’s natural line and creates space in the elbow area. This avoids restricting shoulder movement and helps keep the saddle stable. Your horse can move more freely, which can positively influence rhythm, impulsion, and overall comfort.

• Soft genuine leather, supple and durable: The high-quality genuine leather is pleasantly flexible and helps it adapt individually to your horse’s contours. It provides a comfortable contact surface and supports even pressure distribution. At the same time, genuine leather impresses with its durability and refined look.

• Extra padding, noticeably more comfort: The additional padding absorbs impact and reduces pressure points. Especially during longer sessions or with sensitive horses, this padding helps minimize rubbing and relieves the girth area.

• Handcrafted, precise workmanship down to the details: Each girth is made carefully, with clean seams, edges, and transitions. This quality delivers a refined appearance and a long service life in daily use.

• Easy-care, uncomplicated in stable routine: The leather can be wiped with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt, and treated with leather care when needed. This keeps the girth supple and functional without time-consuming maintenance.

• Rust-free stainless steel fittings, dependable in any weather: The high-quality fittings are corrosion-resistant and keep their stability even in damp conditions. This supports safety and durability, whether in daily training or at competitions.

• Elastic inserts, adapted to every movement: The integrated elastic elements compensate for the natural expansion of the ribcage when breathing. This makes re-girthing easier and supports even tension without constriction.

• With D-rings for auxiliary reins, flexible in training: The integrated D-rings allow secure attachment of auxiliary reins or a breastplate. You do not need extra adapters, straps, or loops, and you can keep your training setup flexible.

• Roller buckles, easy re-girthing: Thanks to the roller buckles, the billets glide more smoothly through the buckle. This makes re-girthing easier and helps protect your saddle billets.
   

Did you know that… the girth area has a particularly high number of sweat glands? During intensive work, moisture builds up there quickly. A well-padded and high-quality girth can help reduce rubbing and support long-term skin health.
