It is necessary to tighten up the girth correctly for a good stability of Academic pad!

Why it is necessary to use original girth Baloun? All Baloun pads are developed and tested with an original girth. Our girth is with elastics on both ends and its elasticity is exactly as it needs for correct function of pads Baloun®. Some girths of other brands are without elastics and it can make a pressure on the horse or girths with too big elasticity of elastics can rotate or sliding on the horse. Because we can not guarantee girths of other brands we sell it only as a complet. If we are to guarantee a proper function of pads Baloun® it is neccessary to use it with girth Baloun®.

How to measure the circumference of the horse to correctly determine the length of girth?
The circumference of the horse is measured just behind the withers. The easiest way is to take the twine, measure the circumference and then remeasure the twine with a meter.
