comfort girths

[kmat]

I am always keen to have the best comfort for my horses, can anyone tell me more about the Fairfax girths... I have read the promotional material... not quite sure why you may need the fleece attachment if the leather and design is so carefully and scientifically crafted for pressure points ? this is not a dig... I like the idea behind the science...

I've got a Fairfax standard gauge on three of my horses (they get to share the same girth) and don't use as keep skin sleeve. I use the Amerigo Protector on my two narrower horses again without sheepskin. I Rate both girths.

I have saved so much money with my Fairfax. Hard to believe I know, but I had bought so many girths and sleeves and STILL he had little sores behind his elbows. Since the Fairfax (long standard gauge) it is all sorted, no galls, no problem.

Meant to type "don't use a fleece cover on the Fairfax on any horse'.

Not the fairfax but I am sold on the new professionals choice girth. My precious boy loves his.

No I don't either but my horse seems more comfortable in a Fairfax girth,

Think it's horse dependent - the Fairfax trialings are still available I think (pay a deposit, test it for 2 weeks) so if you're unsure about it it's certainly an option. I took the plunge and I didn't over hype my expectations to turn him into dressage horse of the year; he definitely seems alot happier when being tacked up / ridden (also stopped a fair amount of saddle slip in his case as well). Some will say "just trying to justify the purchase price" (Emperor's new clothes) however I can only tell it how it seemed to me - can't fault the amount of workmanship in it either. I personally wouldn't see the need for the fleece attachment though when it fits so well.
