Keep Your Horse Cool and Comfortable with the ARMA Airflow Girth

If you've ever felt that damp, heavy heat trapped under your horse's girth after a tough schooling session, you know how quickly it can lead to discomfort and skin irritation. The Shires ARMA Airflow Girth in Elastic Brown is engineered to solve that exact problem, combining high-tech breathability with a classic look that fits right in at the barn or the show ring.

Built for the long haul, this girth uses innovative materials to ensure your horse stays focused on the job, not on their gear. Whether you are navigating a jump course or heading out for a trail ride, the anatomic design ensures a perfect fit that respects your horse's natural movement.

Key Benefits for Horse and Rider

• Advanced Heat Regulation: The Air Motion 3D technology uses perforated dense foam to actively release heat and moisture, preventing the sweat buildup that causes overheating.
• Stay-Dry Performance: Featuring a hydrophobic Coolmax® lining, this girth wicks away sweat and repels water so it won't get heavy or saturated even during high-intensity eventing.
• Unrestricted Movement: The anatomic contoured shaping is specifically "cut-away" behind the elbows, allowing for a full range of motion and preventing the pinching that often leads to "girthiness."
• Low-Maintenance Durability: The wipe-clean synthetic backing makes this a favorite for daily training, offering a professional look without the time-consuming care required for traditional leather.
• Even Pressure Distribution: High-quality elastic ends ensure a snug, secure fit that moves with your horse, reducing the risk of soreness across the belly.

Best For

Show jumpers and eventers looking for a breathable, anatomic solution to prevent heat buildup and skin irritation during active work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right size for the ARMA Airflow Girth?

To find the perfect fit, measure your current girth from buckle-to-buckle. If you are replacing an old elasticated girth, be sure to measure it "unstretched," as older elastic can sag over time. Shires recommends that if your horse falls between two sizes, you should choose the larger size to ensure the buckles sit high enough on the saddle billets to avoid pinching.

Q: Is this girth suitable for horses with sensitive skin?

Absolutely. The ARMA Airflow Girth is a top choice for horses prone to girth galls or skin irritation because the anti-chafe padding and breathable materials prevent the friction caused by trapped sweat.

Q: Will the brown color match my jumping tack?

Yes, the brown shade is specifically designed to coordinate with standard brown jumping and eventing saddles, providing a cohesive, professional look in the arena.
