PresTeq Perform Free Dressage Girth
£180.00 inc. VAT
The PresTeq PerformFree girth is an innovative and anatomical girth designed to provide optimal comfort and freedom of movement for the horse.
The unique shape of the girth, developed through extensive research on anatomy, biomechanics, and horse behavior, ensures optimal pressure distribution and prevents excessive pressure on the sternum. Combined with extra soft gel padding in selected areas, this is the girth to give your horse the opportunity to perform to the fullest without hindrance.
The girth’s shape follows the curve behind the front legs, creating more freedom of movement. Extra thick, soft padding is placed at the front of the cutouts for the front legs, providing additional comfort for the horse. Additionally, the narrower sections of the girth reduce pressure on the horse’s ribs, while the wide surface ensures better pressure distribution over the sternum. The buckles are positioned between muscle attachments, reducing pressure on the muscle attachments themselves. This makes the girth gentler on the horse, especially during the girth tightening process.
Because of these points, not only is more freedom of movement created, but the PerformFree girth also improves the horse’s comfort and minimizes interference with breathing.
The girth is characterized by rounded shapes, which in combination with the padding, ensures optimal pressure distribution over the horse’s body. This contributes to minimizing or even preventing any girth-related discomfort. With these anatomical features, the PerformFree girth stands out as a unique choice within its category.
Specifications
- Anatomically shaped and innovative girth
- The girth does not hinder the horse’s movement of the foreleg. Its shape follows the curve behind the front legs, allowing more freedom of movement for the elbows. The additional space enables the horse to increase its forward stride.
- The narrower sections of the girth reduce pressure on the horse’s ribs. Extra thick and soft padding is placed at the front of these cutouts near the front legs, providing additional comfort for the horse.
- At the sternum, the girth has a wider surface. This, combined with the thickness of the material and gel padding, ensures optimal pressure distribution.
- The girth consists solely of rounded shapes, preventing pressure points on the horse’s skin and fascia.
- The buckles of the girth lie between the muscle attachments of the Latissimus Dorsi and Serratus Ventralis, reducing pressure on the muscle attachments during the peak load of tightening. Additionally, the girth is equipped with gel padding under the buckles, contributing to better pressure distribution.
- Equipped with a ‘house-shaped’ ring for attaching trainings aids. Additionally, the versatile girth features D-rings on both sides. Because there is a magnet incorporated into the leather, the metal rings remain firmly in place during the horse’s movements and are not bothered by either rider or horse.
- The girths feature stainless steel roller buckles. These buckles are anatomically shaped to minimize pressure points beneath the buckles.
For the dressage girth, both buckles are attached to the same piece of elastic. This prevents one girth strap from applying more pressure than the other. - The elastic of the dressage girth is concealed under the leather, serving as a checkpoint for a snug girth. When the elastic becomes more visible to the rider, there is no need to tighten further; the horse still has enough breathing room.
- The added relief at the front of the girth makes it easy to see how to properly position the girth.
- The dressage girth features loops for the girth straps. These should be used to prevent girth sliding. If the girth straps are laid over these loops instead of through them, the loops can create additional pressure points, potentially leading to girth discomfort. The loop with the PresTeq logo is designed to easily thread the end of the girth straps through.
- It’s essential when using the girths (any girth), never to tighten too much. The best place to feel if the girth is tight enough is not under the buckles but on the horse’s sternum. Due to the anatomical points and optimal pressure distribution of the PresTeq girth, it contributes to limiting or even preventing girth discomfort.
