If your horse falls between sizes (like a 25\"), we generally recommend sizing up to a 26\" to ensure the buckles sit high enough away from the sensitive elbow area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is this girth suitable for horses prone to rubbing?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the ARMA Memory Foam Dressage Girth is specifically designed for horses with sensitive skin. The memory foam creates a soft, bespoke interface that prevents the friction and pinching often caused by traditional leather or synthetic girths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eQ: How far behind the elbow should this girth sit?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor maximum comfort and to prevent interference with the \"armpit\" area, the girth should sit roughly one hand’s width behind the horse's elbow. The anatomic cut of the ARMA girth helps maintain this clearance naturally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 466BLK22\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shires","offers":[{"title":"22","offer_id":47703823876317,"sku":"466BLK22","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24","offer_id":47703823909085,"sku":"466BLK24","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"26","offer_id":47703823941853,"sku":"466BLK26","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28","offer_id":47703823974621,"sku":"466BLK28","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30","offer_id":47703824007389,"sku":"466BLK30","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/shires-arma-memory-foam-dressage-girth-black-anatomical-comfort-multiple-sizes-466blk22.webp?v=1774467967","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/arma-memory-foam-dressage-girth-black","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
