Girth Covers

Girth Sleeves & Covers

A girth sleeve or girth cover is soft, protective cover that fits over a horse’s girth to provide extra comfort and prevent rubbing, chafing, or girth galls on the horse’s skin. Sleeves are tubes that the cinch slides into, while covers attach around the girth and come in various sizes and shapes. Girth sleeves are especially popular for horses in regular work, those prone to skin irritation, or during the colder months when clipped coats make horses more sensitive.

There is an option for any style of girth you use. Choose an anatomical girth sleeve or stud girth cover for your jumping saddle, or a fleece girth cover for your dressage tack.

Girth sleeves come in a variety of materials to suit different needs. Sheepskin or faux sheepskin options are ultra-soft and ideal for sensitive horses, providing maximum comfort and protection against rubbing. Neoprene sleeves are smooth, durable, and easy to clean, making them a practical choice for everyday use. Quilted fabric sleeves offer extra padding for added comfort, helping to evenly distribute pressure across the horse's girth area.

Match your fleece dressage girth cover or jumping girth cover with our extensive line of anatomical girths and saddles.
