Ovation Riding Girth Sock

Yes, the stretch cotton terry material is flexible enough to accommodate most shaped and anatomical girths, though it works best on standard straight styles. Because it is a sleeve design, it will conform to the general shape of your girth.

The cotton terry is designed to be absorbent, which actually helps maintain a stable grip against the horse's skin while wicking away moisture. It is less likely to slide than synthetic or neoprene covers.

The cover is machine washable, but to prevent shrinkage, we recommend washing it on a cool cycle and either line drying it or using the lowest heat setting on your dryer. High heat can damage the elastic fibers over time.

Absolutely. The soft cotton layer acts as a buffer between the girth and the horse's skin, reducing friction and pressure points that typically cause irritation or girth galls.

It provides a protective barrier against friction, but it is not a thick, gel-filled pad. If your horse requires significant pressure relief, this is best used as a preventative layer rather than a corrective cushion.
