The Anatomica girth models
Anatomica also has girths in its range, to allow your saddle to fit optimally to your horse. It is important that the girth is comfortable for the horse and easy to use. The different girths all have different functions:
Anatomica girth neoprene:
This is a standard, straight girth. This girth is good for horses that easily get sores in the armpits. The material is very soft and is easy to wash in a washing machine or by hand. The difference with other neoprene girths is that there is an extra piece of nylon in the girth. This prevents the girth from folding too easily. Does your saddle tend to slide forward because your horse is built somewhat rounder? Then this girth is not suitable.
Anatomica girth model I:
This is an anatomically shaped, symmetrical, leather girth. This model is specially designed for horses with very round bellies. This girth prevents the saddle from sliding forward and causing irritation or sores in the armpits. The girth is also narrower in this area to prevent these kinds of sores. However, the middle section is somewhat wider to maintain a fine pressure distribution. The girth has elastic at the buckles, which only stretches when the horse needs it.
Anatomica girth model II:
This is an anatomically shaped, symmetrical, leather girth. This model is designed for standard-built horses. The middle section is somewhat wider for optimal pressure distribution, but the girth is cut back at the armpit to prevent sores. The girth has a small piece of elastic at the buckles, which stretches slightly when the horse needs it.
Anatomica girth model III with elastic:
This is an anatomically shaped, symmetrical, leather girth. This model is designed for extra stability of the saddle. The anatomically shaped model allows the horse a lot of freedom of movement at the armpits. The material is also extra soft at the armpits, so the horse does not easily get sores. The girth has a point at the front that goes between the front legs a little bit. This allows the side of the girth to be somewhat wider, providing extra stability. The girth has elastic at the buckles, which only stretches when the horse needs it.
Anatomica girth model III without elastic:
This is an anatomically shaped, symmetrical, leather girth. This model is designed for extra stability of the saddle. The anatomically shaped model allows the horse a lot of freedom of movement at the armpits. The material is also extra soft at the armpits, so the horse does not easily get sores. The girth has a point at the front that goes between the front legs a little bit. This allows the side of the girth to be somewhat wider, providing extra stability. The girth does not have elastic at the buckles.
Girth pads:
Do you have a horse with extremely sensitive skin? A matching girth fur is available with every Anatomica girth. These are standard stock in different sizes and models in the colors black/black and white/white, but you can also customize the girth furs according to your own wishes. How fun is that?!
