Product: Free Space girth from WOW™

Description: With an innovative patented design the new Free Space Girth from WOW™ Saddles has an Active Cushion Sternum Plate that has two parts. The outer is a reinforced plate that will not give under girth tension. This is spaced away from the horse by the Active Cushion, which holds the Sternum Plate away from the horse’s rib cage. The Sternum Plate makes the girth straps bridge the pectoral muscles and it is this lack of pressure that is the key to allowing the horse to engage by the use of an unimpeded rectus abdominus and better leg retraction due to the ascending pectoral muscles not being squashed.

Available in three versions, the Free Space Dressage Girth up to 32” in length and two long versions thereafter. Each are available in normal and slim sternums, while the Free Space Long Version has girth sleeves included, which have been designed to stop pinching. Free Space Girths are available in black or brown vegan leather with buckle guards, straps, girth sleeves and sternum plates can able to be purchased separately.
