Are you looking for a quality sheepskin girth that will give your horse the ultimate softness and comfort.

Do you have issues with saddles sliding back caused by the confirmation of the horse?

Then the EA Mattes Athletico girth is the answer!

The Short ATHLETICO Girth is for horses with a saddle position that is quite far back and a barrel shape that causes the girth to slide back (often called a Herringbone shape or Greyhound shape). The athletico girth shape helps to keep the girth from sliding back taking the saddle with it.

E.A. Mattes Sheepskin Girths provide superior protection against rubbing, galling, and overall discomfort. The natural properties of sheepskin, including heat dissemination, breathability and the ability to reduce friction, make sheepskin the ideal girth material.

We highly recommend Mattes MELP to clean all of your sheepskin, washable leather & wool products. It is specially formulated with re-greasing agents that won’t harden leather.

Option to purchase base girths and sheepskin covers separately allow even greater flexibility for using one girth on multiple horses.

If this product is out of stock it can be ordered in (or if you want a different colour!). We order from Mattes every 3 - 4 weeks and there is usually a 5 - 6 week wait time for custom products (less for their in stock items) depending on when in the order cycle you order.We send an invoice for a 50% deposit before ordering and the balance is due when the product is on its way so we can quickly post it out to you as soon as it arrives. 

All you need to let us know via email is exactly what you want and your name, email, postal address and phone number for the invoice.

Note:
There is a possibility of dye bleeding into the horses hair or other materials from dark or bright colored skin, because of the horses-sweat or use of unsuitable washing detergent.
