**It is very important not to pull the girth straps up until the straps have been put through the buckles, not just the keepers**

Kept secret to give a competitive advantage to Team GBR

• Central D and Heavy Strap 
• Dramatically reducing pressure
• Significantly increasing range of movement
• Eliminating gait asymmetry

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

 Please Note: The Short Girth Comes With a D-Ring attachment and Heavy Strap.

Abstract from The Veterinary Journal

The Fairfax Girth is a luxury item and needs maintaining well.  The girth should be well cleaned with warm water 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.
