Mikmar Bit Company English Comfort Girth

The alveolar rubber is designed to be breathable and gentle, specifically intended to prevent the chafing and galling often caused by traditional girth materials. It provides a secure grip without trapping sweat or heat against the sternum.

Yes, the design is specifically engineered to allow for unrestricted rib expansion. By accommodating the horse's natural breathing pattern, it significantly reduces the pressure behind the elbows that often causes discomfort or resistance.

The rubber lining is positioned over the sternum to provide stability and prevent the saddle from shifting, but it does not interfere with the mechanical function of the buckles. You will still be able to adjust the girth normally from the saddle.

Absolutely. The girth features a discreet center section that maintains a clean, traditional aesthetic, making it perfectly suitable for the show ring while still offering the performance benefits of a modern, ergonomic design.

You can wipe the rubber lining clean with a damp cloth after each ride to remove sweat and debris. For the leather exterior, use a high-quality leather cleaner and conditioner, being careful to keep the conditioner away from the rubber lining to maintain its grip.
