Stop compromising your horse's comfort and performance with restrictive gear that causes painful rubbing and girth galls. The ARMA Anti-Chafe Anatomical Girth is engineered to provide total shoulder freedom while ensuring a secure, moisture-wicking fit for even the most sensitive horses.

Crafted by Shires, this girth combines technical innovation with everyday practicality for the modern rider. The FreedomFit anatomical contouring allows for unrestricted elbow movement, preventing the saddle from shifting forward, while the specialized synthetic material offers a "wipe-clean" solution that resists the rot and wear common with traditional leather in wet, muddy, or salty beach conditions.

Key Features & Specifications:

• FreedomFit Anatomical Shaping: Specially contoured to curve away from the elbows, providing maximum shoulder freedom and preventing the saddle from sliding forward during movement.
• Textured Waffle Material: This specialized anti-chafe fabric increases airflow and wicks moisture to prevent the sweat buildup that causes painful girth galls and friction sores.
• Pressure-Alleviating Dual Elastic: High-quality elastic inserts at both ends ensure even pressure distribution and allow the horse to breathe easily during chest expansion.
• Standard Sizing Increments: Sold in 2-inch (5cm) increments, ranging from 38" (95cm) to 60" (150cm) to ensure a precise fit for ponies and horses alike.
• Low-Maintenance Durability: The moisture-resistant synthetic material requires no oiling and is perfect for everyday schooling, cross-country training, or wet-weather riding.
• Stainless Steel Roller Buckles: Designed for longevity and ease of use, these buckles allow for smooth adjustment and resist corrosion over time.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the anatomical shape is positioned correctly?
A: For the FreedomFit design to work effectively, the "pointed" or curved-out section of the girth must face forward toward the horse's head to clear the elbow properly.

Q: Is this girth suitable for horses with very sensitive skin?
A: Yes, the textured waffle material is specifically designed for "girthy" or thin-skinned horses, as it reduces friction and allows the skin to breathe, making it a favorite for high-mileage disciplines.

Q: What size should I choose if my horse is between standard measurements?
A: This girth fits true-to-size; however, because of the anatomical curve, it is often safer to size up if you are between sizes to ensure the buckles sit high enough away from the elbow.
