The Tapestry Girth Story!

If you visited us at HOYS and had a chat with Linda you would have heard The Tapestry Girth Story!

For those of you that didn’t – here it is;

“It was my last off the track thoroughbred Majestic Tribute, that I thank for the Tapestry Comfort Girth design.

When I would bring the tack to Magic’s stall, which at the time was a custom fit saddle and a classic traditional leather girth with elastic at both ends, Magic would go to the back of the stall, drop his head and pin his ears. Clearly signs that he hated what was about to happen. 

On the lunge line Magic had no issues moving forward but once the girth was on he really resented moving forward, and it was so bad in the winter and at the canter.

It was at this time in 2014 that I thought I needed to redesign the girth to be much more comfortable and to accommodate a horses anatomy and physiology. A girth really should fit like a bra – it should allow the horse to breathe and move and not be at all restrictive.

I trained thoroughbred racehorses for 10 years. I liked the use of elastic on the racetrack girths but there is nothing central in those girths, hence the need to tighten them so the saddle doesn’t slip (but boy does that ever cause “girthy” horses!). That’s why my Tapestry Comfort Girth has elastic and a central sternum pad – that way the girth is symmetrical, breathes with the horse, and you don’t need to over tighten the girth.”

We have fab reviews from Comfy Horse customers about what a difference this girth has made to your horses, and are proud to be the UK stockist and distributor!
