Unique design frees the horse’s shoulders from saddle interference and pain. Cutaway for better elbow clearance and comfort. Padded calf skin inside, with durable English hide exterior for long life. Double elastic on both ends, for horse comfort. Stainless steel buckles and hardware. Saddle Fit & Simple Physics. It all comes down to simple physics. When the offset design of the girth moves the billet line, it also changes the angle of the billets. This prevents forward angling billets, thus prevents the saddle from causing forward presssure against the shoulders. The secondary benefit of the Shoulder Relief Girth is the perfectly placed cut-away sections that allows for elbow clearance while a horse is in motion. Comfort, Performance & Quality. Not only is the Shoulder Relief Girth extremely comfortable and effective, it is also made of top quality English saddlery leather available in black or brown. The outside is a saddle-grade English cow hide, while the 10mm EVA foam padded inside is made of soft calf leather. All Total Saddle Fit girths measure true to size buckle tip to buckle tip, and if you are in between sizes it is best to go up in size.
