Girth Covers

Girth Sleeves & Covers

A girth sleeve or girth cover is a soft, protective layer that fits over your horse’s girth, providing extra comfort and helping to prevent rubbing, chafing, or girth galls. Whether your horse is in regular work, prone to skin irritation, or more sensitive after being clipped, a girth sleeve is an affordable, easy-to-use solution that keeps your tack clean and your horse comfortable.

Types of Girth Sleeves & Covers

Choose from sleeves (tubes that slide over the girth) or covers (wrap-around designs) to suit any style of girth—anatomical, stud, or dressage. Materials include:

• Sheepskin or Faux Sheepskin: Ultra-soft, ideal for sensitive horses, and offers maximum protection against rubbing.
• Neoprene: Smooth, durable, and easy to clean—perfect for everyday use.
• Quilted Fabric: Extra padding for comfort and even pressure distribution.

Coordinate your girth sleeve or cover with our range of girths including stud girths, dressage girths and anatomical girths, complete the look with a new saddle for a polished look.
