Fairfax Girth Annotated

  • Lined with Prolite® - known for its ability to distribute pressure, absorb impact and prevent rubbing
  • Allows the Prolite® edge "to float" so the horse's muscles can move underneath rather than bang against
  • Combination of the contour and the cushioning creates a buffer zone and prevents a "hard" edge
