Winderen Dressage Girth

The Winderen Pressure Relief girth has been designed to significantly reduce pressure on the horse's sternum. The Winderen Pressure Relief girth boasts the same proven and technologically advanced materials that we use in our Back Protect Solution saddle half pads. Its anatomical shape has cutback areas at the elbows and a wide surface in the sternum area, making this girth a perfect solution even for sensitive horses. These features help dissipate the pressure points applied on the horse's sternum and muscles, thereby improving the horse’s freedom of movement, breathing and overall comfort during riding.

Designed especially for:

• Sensitive Horses
• Nervous Horses
• Girthy Horses
• Horses with special health conditions
• Young horses that have not yet had contact with a girth

Impact protection

Padding the girth with innovative materials not only reduces pressure on the horse's sternum, increasing freedom of movement and breathing, but also provides protection against external impacts such as bumping a cross country fence or hitting the girth area with the front hooves during a jump. The force of the impact is absorbed and dissipated, effectively protecting the horse from bruises and encouraging free and confident jumps.

How to choose the right size (see picture)

Important! Don't just rely on the size stamped on your current girth as, in some girths, the leather and elastics may tend to stretch from regular use. Trust us, we've measured 50 different girths, from various manufacturers, that have been in use over different periods of time. When we compared their given lengths to their actual lengths, we found the difference to be from 5 to even 15 cm longer! To minimise this occurrence, Winderen girths are fitted with extremely strong inside reinforcements to prevent excessive stretching.
