Experience Unrestricted Movement with the Arma Performance Dressage Girth

Finding a girth that balances stability with total comfort can be a challenge, especially during intense dressage sessions. The Shires Arma Performance Dressage Girth is designed to eliminate the friction and heat buildup that often leads to girth galls, allowing your horse to focus entirely on the aids rather than discomfort.

Built with a high-tech approach to traditional tack, this girth combines advanced materials with an anatomical shape. Whether you're working on lateral movements or schooling at home, the Arma Performance Dressage Girth provides a secure fit that contours naturally to your horse's barrel.

Why Your Horse Will Love the Arma Performance Girth

• Superior Breathability: The 3D Air Motion technology features an aerated surface that actively promotes airflow, significantly reducing moisture and heat buildup under the belly.
• Anatomic Freedom: The specialized curved contouring provides maximum clearance behind the elbows, preventing pinching and allowing for a full range of motion in the shoulder.
• Customized Pressure Relief: A heat-responsive memory foam core molds to your horse’s individual rib shape, creating a bespoke fit that evenly distributes pressure.
• Stable and Secure: High-quality elastic inserts at both ends ensure the girth moves with your horse’s breathing while maintaining a consistent, secure saddle position.
• Low-Profile Design: Specifically engineered for dressage and mono-flap saddles, the sleek black finish and recessed buckles reduce bulk under your leg for better communication.

Dressage and event riders looking for a high-performance, breathable girth that prevents rubbing on sensitive horses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the correct size for the Arma Performance Dressage Girth?

To get the best fit, measure from the middle billet hole on one side, under the horse's barrel, to the middle billet hole on the opposite side. Our sizes are measured buckle-to-buckle, so a 24" girth measures exactly 24 inches from end to end.

Q: Is this girth suitable for horses with sensitive skin?

Yes, the Arma Performance Dressage Girth is an excellent choice for sensitive horses. The combination of soft, roll-away edges and a memory foam lining helps prevent the friction and "pinching" that typically cause girth galls.

Q: Can I use this girth with a standard jumping saddle?

This is a "short girth" designed specifically for saddles with long billet straps, such as dressage or mono-flap jumping saddles. It will not work with standard jumping saddles that have short billets.
