Product Information
Full details
The Mackey EquiSential Girth Sleeve is designed for equestrian riders seeking to improve their horse's comfort and prevent chafing during training sessions or competitive events. This premium faux fur accessory slides easily over standard girths to provide a cushioned, protective barrier between the equipment and your horse's sensitive skin. While it offers superior comfort and durability, it does require consistent cleaning to prevent the buildup of sweat and debris in the faux fur material.

FAQs
Will this fit a dressage girth?
It is designed for standard width girths; it may fit slim dressage girths, but verify the circumference first.
Can I put this in the washing machine?
Hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the faux fur fibers and prevent the backing from losing shape.
Is the material real fur?
No, this is a synthetic faux fur product designed to be cruelty-free and easy to maintain.
Does it come in other colors?
This specific model is available in black.
Where is this product made?
The Mackey EquiSential Girth Sleeve is manufactured in Ireland.
Troubleshooting
The sleeve slides out of place during movement.
Ensure the girth is tightened correctly after the horse has warmed up; the friction of the fur against the coat generally keeps the sleeve in place.
Faux fur looks matted after use.
Use a soft-bristled brush specifically for synthetic furs to gently detangle the fibers after the sleeve has dried.
Dirt and sweat buildup.
Soak the sleeve in a bucket of warm water with a gentle cleaner to loosen stubborn debris, rinse thoroughly, and hang to dry.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, slide the open end of the sleeve over one end of your girth and pull it until it sits flush against the buckles. Ensure the faux fur faces outward toward the horse's skin. Compatibility is limited to standard-width girths; it may not fit anatomically shaped or oversized specialty girths. To care for the product, it is recommended to brush out the faux fur after every use to remove dried sweat and hair. For deep cleaning, hand wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent designed for equestrian equipment, then allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the fibers.
