That is where \u003cstrong\u003egirth galls begin\u003c\/strong\u003e, and once one has started it takes weeks to settle. A \u003cstrong\u003efleece lining\u003c\/strong\u003e spreads the pressure across a wider strip and gives the skin \u003cstrong\u003esomething soft to move against\u003c\/strong\u003e, instead of a hard edge working back and forth all session. A horse that pins its ears when you reach under for the girth is usually reacting to that edge rather than to being saddled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElastic that moves with the ribs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA horse's ribcage expands and contracts \u003cstrong\u003ewith every stride\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a girth with no give either restricts that or has to be left loose enough to slip. The \u003cstrong\u003eelastic ends\u003c\/strong\u003e take up the difference: you can tighten to a \u003cstrong\u003egenuinely secure fit\u003c\/strong\u003e and the chest can still open at canter. Having elastic at both ends also keeps the pull even from side to side, which helps the saddle stay straight rather than being drawn across by one tighter side. The result feels steadier under the saddle without feeling tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuicker to do up in the aisle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything about fastening it is straightforward. The \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel buckles\u003c\/strong\u003e run smoothly and take repeated tightening without working loose, and they hold up in a damp stable far better than plated hardware. The \u003cstrong\u003ecentral D-ring\u003c\/strong\u003e gives you a fixed point for a martingale, a breastplate strap or a training aid, so nothing has to be threaded around the girth itself. Wiping it down after a muddy ride takes seconds, and the fleece can be hand-washed when it needs more than a brush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePick the right girth length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLength matters more than anything else with a girth. Too short and the buckles sit down near the elbow; too long and they end up under the saddle flap or against the rider's leg. This one comes in \u003cstrong\u003e100, 110 and 120 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e, so take the girth you already use, do it up at your usual setting, \u003cstrong\u003emeasure it end to end\u003c\/strong\u003e and match the nearest length, keeping a few \u003cstrong\u003espare holes at each end\u003c\/strong\u003e for adjustment. Order the Quilvera Girth in the length your horse takes and give that sensitive strip behind the elbow an easier job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;
