Featuring all the significant aspects of Total Saddle Fit’s popular Shoulder Relief Girth now with added stretch the StretchTec Leather Dressage Girth is the ultimate in innovation! The Shoulder Relief Dressage Girth has an ergonomic shape and changes the position and angle of the billets to create a more secure fit. The center of the Relief Girth is forward to sit in the horse’s natural girth groove. The sides are back two inches behind the horse’s girth line; allowing the billets to angle forward and become perpendicular to the ground which reduces the saddle’s tendency to be pulled into the shoulder. An added benefit of changing the position and angle of the billets is to prevent the saddle from interfering with the shoulder. Freedom of the shoulder will allow the horse a full range of motion under saddle while the cutback will prevent galling in the elbow area. The StretchTec takes this one step farther with a triangular elastic insert that allows the girth to give as the horse breathes. This stretch has a bonus of helping the girth contour more accurately to the horse’s sternum aiding in keeping the saddle secure and improving the comfort of your equine partner.
