The Performance Girth

(Patent: GB110213432 Design reg: 001839028)

Kept secret to give a competitive advantage to Team GBR

The only girth to have been tested during its development in conjunction with the BEF World Class Programme.  During squad training, Centaur Biomechanics gait analysis was used to test the effect of the girth on the horses’ performance.  “We recorded up to 33% improvement in forelimb protraction and general range of motion of every elite horse we tested” *

*results were compared to the horses’ own girth Russell Guire of Centaur Biomechanics

Abstract from The Veterinary Journal

The Fairfax Girth is a luxury item and needs maintaining well.  The girth should be well cleaned with a damp sponge after use and fed with leather feeder after EVERY use.  Glycerin and oil should not be used as they seal the sweat into the leather and this is what causes the leather to crack over a period of time.
