STUBBEN.....more than a girth, an experience...
THE GIRTH THAT THE INTERNET IS RAVING ABOUT!
The root cause of girthing discomfort lies in constriction, as it reduces
the horse’s circulation and decreases the range of motion of the
underlying musculature. In the Equi-Soft Girth, an ingenious and
exclusive system of elastic rings offers perfect girth pressure
distribution. The rings eliminate uncomfortable pressure points as well
as complaints from the horse when being girthed. An innovative girth
shape allows the horse to expand its chest when needed during exercise,
and as the girth allows expansion, the elastic rings also expand and
contract with the rib cage to maintain that uniform tension. When
positioned symmetrically in the centre of the horse’s girth line and
properly adjusted, this girth effectively deals with girth constriction
by giving in all directions and markedly reducing tension. This
flexibility frees the underlying musculature, allows better circulation
and decreases the restriction of the motion of the gut. As respiration
is enhanced and the horse experiences less discomfort, the pulse rate
also reduces during exercise. In fact, in a comparative study of girths,
all horses, without exception, maintained much lower heart rates when
worked in the Stübben Equi-Soft girth. Because the muscles are less
restricted, lateral flexibility is enhanced along with the horse’s
ability to employ the external obliques, serratus and other abdominal
muscles necessary to support the topline. Use of these muscles manifests
in greater extension of the foreleg and more active employment of the
hindquarters.

Never adjust only one side, the tension should be similar on both sides of the girth.
