A reliable combination of quilted fabric and lambskin: the Australian wool cover is removable; the western girth itself is made of our durable fabric with the distinctive MATTES quilted pattern. The plastic insert is stitched in to guarantee the best padding and pressure distribution. Stainless steel buckles and fittings for a martingale are also provided. Asymmetric: For horses whose girth groove is closer to the elbows or less well-defined, this girth is significantly contoured at the front around the elbow area. Crescent: If a horse has a short back, a broad ribcage, or a narrow chest, the girth often slips forward the crescent shape prevents this.
