Comfort That Stays Fresh: The Shires Arma Removable Neoprene Girth

We've all been there—scrubbing a sweat-caked girth after a long ride, hoping the salt and grit don't cause a rub the next day. The Shires Arma Removable Neoprene Girth is designed to take the headache out of tack maintenance while keeping your horse’s comfort front and center. From our barn to yours, we know that a clean girth is the first line of defense against girth galls and discomfort.

Built with a focus on anatomical freedom and easy hygiene, this girth features a high-quality neoprene liner that peels right off for a quick rinse or a trip through the washing machine. It’s the perfect workhorse for riders who want professional-grade performance without the high-maintenance upkeep of traditional leather or fleece. Whether you're schooling at home or hitting the trails, this girth is built for the long haul.

Key Benefits

• Hassle-Free Hygiene: The detachable anti-chafe neoprene liner can be removed in seconds, allowing you to wash away sweat and bacteria to prevent painful rubs and skin irritation.
• Anatomical Freedom: Contoured specifically to curve away from the elbows, this girth allows for unrestricted shoulder movement and prevents the pinching that often leads to "girthy" behavior.
• Even Pressure Distribution: Featuring double-layer elastic inserts at both ends, the Shires Arma ensures a stable fit that moves with your horse while the stainless steel roller buckles make cinching up smooth and easy.
• Fast-Drying Performance: Unlike traditional materials that stay damp for hours, the technical neoprene material dries rapidly, making it ideal for multi-horse barns or daily schooling sessions.
• Professional Stability: The combination of firm, high-quality elastic and anatomical shaping ensures your saddle stays secure without over-tightening across the sternum.

Best For

The daily rider or competitor looking for a low-maintenance, anatomical girth that prevents rubs and ensures total shoulder freedom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I measure for the Shires Arma Girth?

Shires girths are measured from the end of one buckle to the end of the other. Since the elastic is high-quality and firm, we recommend measuring your current girth while it is stretched to ensure you don't select a size that is too long. A properly fitted girth should sit roughly 3–4 fingers below the saddle pad on both sides.

Q: Can the liner be replaced or washed?

Yes, the removable nature of the Shires Arma Removable Neoprene Girth means you can easily peel off the liner for machine washing or a quick rinse with the hose, extending the overall life of your tack and keeping your horse comfortable.

Q: Is this girth suitable for dressage or jumping?

Absolutely. The "Short" version is specifically designed for mono-flap or dressage saddles, while the "Long" version is the go-to choice for general purpose and jumping saddles due to its stability and easy-clean nature.
