Product description
Unlock your horse’s full potential with a girth designed to eliminate pinching and maximize freedom of movement during every extension. The Velociti Lusso Dressage Girth combines elite Pro Series Luxe aesthetics with ergonomic engineering to ensure your horse remains comfortable and focused, whether in the schooling ring or at the center line.
Crafted by Shires, this girth represents the pinnacle of the Velociti Lusso collection, utilizing premium leather and meticulous construction. The interior is lined with butter-soft calf leather and deep padding, creating a pressure-dispersing barrier that protects sensitive skin while maintaining a sleek, low-profile fit essential for modern dressage and monoflap saddles.
Key Features & Specifications:
- Ergonomic Contoured Shape: Features a strategic "cut-away" design behind the elbows to prevent pinching and allow for a natural, unrestricted range of motion during lateral work and extensions.
- Pressure-Dispersing Padding: Lined with exceptionally soft calf leather and deep interior padding to distribute pressure evenly across the sternum and significantly reduce friction.
- Triple-Layer Elasticity: Equipped with high-quality, multi-layer elastic at both ends to provide a secure fit while allowing the horse’s ribcage to expand comfortably for better breathing.
- Pro Series Luxe Finish: Designed with a high-end aesthetic that meets strict competition standards, making it ideal for both daily training and the professional dressage arena.
- Monoflap Versatility: Specifically engineered for long-billet systems, making it a premier choice for dressage riders and eventers using monoflap saddles.
- Precision Sizing: Available in 2" increments to ensure a perfect, custom-like fit; sizing is determined by the distance between the ends of the buckles.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How do I ensure the best fit for my horse's comfort?
A: Measure your current girth from buckle-to-buckle to find the corresponding size. For an ideal fit, the buckles should sit approximately 3–4 fingers below the bottom of the saddle pad to prevent the horse’s elbows from knocking into the hardware.
Q: Should I account for the elastic when choosing a size?
A: Yes; because the Velociti Lusso uses high-quality, durable elastic, we recommend choosing a size that allows you to start on the lower holes, as the material will settle and slightly "give" over time as it breaks in.
