Stübben Equi-Soft girth pad

Stübben makes the pad in two lengths: a small one for girths from 40 to 45 cm and a large one for girths from 50 to 150 cm. Choose the length that goes with your Equi-Soft girth. If you are unsure which length a version has, just ask in store.

When attaching, check that the centre hook-and-loop strip lies straight on the girth before you press the sides down. Keep the hook-and-loop free of hair and straw so the pad stays in place. For the vachette pad: remove sweat and dirt after riding, clean with leather soap and grease lightly from time to time.

This pad is for anyone who has or is buying a Stübben Equi-Soft girth and needs a first or extra pad. Choose Vachette Leather black if you want a leather pad cared for with leather soap, or one of the Lambskin versions if you prefer a fleece.

If you want a pad you can machine wash, the Stübben Equi-Soft girth pad Neoprene is the logical choice. If you do not yet have an Equi-Soft girth, you first need the Stübben Equi-Soft dressage girth. Riding with a LeMieux Gel-Tek Anatomische Dressuur Singel? The LeMieux Merino+ Anatomische Dressuursingelhoes is made for it.

Lay the girth flat with the hook-and-loop facing up, line up the pad's centre hook-and-loop strip and then press the sides down. Clean the vachette pad with leather soap and grease it lightly; no tumble dryer and keep it away from direct heat. For the Lambskin versions Stübben gives no instructions: remove sweat and dirt after use and ask for advice before washing.
