Is specially shaped to distribute the pressure from the girth over a wider surface area and is not concentrated in one narrow area that can lead to soreness when the horses are over girthed. These girths are particularly useful when the horses girth depth is very close to the elbow. The soft elastic and calfskin on the sides of the girth offer no resistance or sharp edges to hinder the movement. The generous shaping ensures that the sensitive elbow does not connect with the girth.
