Kentucky Anatomic Belly Guard Girth

Because this girth has no cover, it is quickly sorted after a ride: wipe off sweat and sand and clean the synthetic leather daily with Tack Cleaner. For a thorough clean, Kentucky says it can go in the washing machine, but not in the tumble dryer. Let it dry completely before you ride again.

Position the girth so the anatomical cut-out sits behind the elbows and the centre section lies centrally under the belly. Girth up at roughly the same height on the left and the right so the saddle stays straight.

Choose the Kentucky Anatomische Buiklapsingel if you jump and want a stud girth with an anatomical shape, a flat central hook and a material you can get wet and dirty without worry. At Maddelin it comes in brown and black, in a wide range of sizes.

If you want a soft layer against the skin, take the Kentucky Anatomische Buiklapsingel Wol with removable fleece. If you are after a wider protective plate and a buckle for a breastplate, the Kentucky Buiklapsingel is the alternative. For a leather stud guard girth, look at the LJ Leathers Singel Leder met buikflap or the HFI Springsingel met Magnetische Flap.

Fasten the girth on both sides to the girth straps of your saddle, with the cut-out behind the elbows and the centre section centrally under the belly. Attach draw reins to the D-rings.
