THE SECRET TO OUR GIRTHS IS THEIR FIT
THE SECRET TO OUR GIRTHS IS THEIR FIT
The girth has an immediate impact (pressure distribution) on the sternum and surrounding muscles. When we talk about self-carriage, lifting the sternum plays a crucial part. Our job is to find out which type of pressure your horse accepts while still achieving the correct form of engagement.
This is why 2FitHorses developed a unique line of products consisting of various types of girths made of incredibly soft leather to optimally support biomechanical self-carriage with proper engagement resulting from lifting the sternum. All girths are anatomically shaped, without negatively influencing the pressure on the ribs and/or behind the elbows and allowing for extra range of motion of the front leg. In addition, the girths are available in various sizes because this too affects the ribs and the use of the elbow.
Our girths do not contain elastics, and the buckles are also anatomically shaped. This protects the horse from experiencing any unnecessary pressure on the side of the ribs.
But what about being fashionable? That is why we offer a choice of four colours of buckles for our girths:
The 2FitHorses Type 1 girth is anatomically shaped. This girth is made of the softest leather and developed so that the girth will completely shape itself after the horse’s anatomy. Due to its exaggerated curve shape and impact on the back of the sternum, the girth allows the horse to create that extra bit of lift.
The 2FitHorses Type 2 girth is anatomically shaped. This girth is made of the softest leather and developed so that the girth will completely shape itself after the horse’s anatomy. Due to its anatomic shape and impact on the centre of the sternum, the girth ensures that the horse has the freedom to create that extra bit of lift.
The 2FitHorses Type 3 girth is anatomically shaped. This girth is made of the softest leather and developed so that the girth will completely form to the anatomy of the horse. Due to its subtle curve shape and impact on the entire sternum, this girth gives the horse the option to comfortably create a lift with sufficient locomotion freedom of the front leg.
The 2FitHorses Type 4 girth is anatomically shaped. This girth is made of the softest leather and developed so that the girth will completely form to the anatomy of the horse. Due to the curved shape and impact on the sternum, this girth gives the horse the option to create a lift with additional locomotion freedom of the front leg.
