Stud guard girths

In show jumping, the studs on the front shoes can hit the belly when the horse folds its legs over the pole. A stud guard girth forms a shield that takes these knocks. The models in this range buckle under the flaps, on a saddle with short girth straps: T de T stud guard girth, Comfort from Flags&Cup and two HFI stud guard girths, one of them in leather. Expect to pay between €85 and €220. For a dressage or monoflap saddle, go to the short stud guard girths.
