A super, super nice girth. Beautifully made, soft supple leather, double elastic, padded and contoured with stainless steel roller buckles.
One of these girths is included with your purchase of an Astride. These girths are quite underpriced at the moment. We are building our Astride tack line, and this will be one of our first products. These are actually dressage girths, and although they work beautifully in smaller sizes with the Astride, they will soon be available in larger sizes as well.
