T3 FlexForm CoolBack® Dressage Girth

The T3 dressage girth with a Flexform core is a girth that delivers a high level of comfort for your horse. The girth has strong elastics on both sides that allow the horse's chest to work while riding. The elastics help to ensure that the saddle is stable without restricting the horse's movements. If you have a horse with a particularly delicate girth, it's important to choose a girth that is gentle on the girth. A delicate girth may be if the horse is prone to girth cramps or if it often gets sores in the girth.

TheFlexForm core works for all types of training. The material is a 13 mm thick visco-elastic foam - a lightweight memory foam that acts as extra padding; provides stability and has a moderate shock-absorbing effect. Memory foam is an ideal choice when it comes to making the saddle fit better if you have an extra sensitive horse or just want to give your horse a little more comfort while riding. The Flexform core allows the girth to mold to the horse's girth and provides both pressure distribution and shock absorption to protect the girth muscles.

TheCoolBack lining gives the girth a highly elastic underside that will continue to function after long periods of use. CoolBack is made from a synthetic fleece material that gives it unique technical properties, including pressure distribution and heat dissipation. The fact that the girth effectively dissipates heat and moisture is important for those who have a horse that often gets wounds in the girth - accumulation of moisture and heat is the most common cause of cut wounds from the girth.

Maintenance:
To give your T3 girth the best conditions to work optimally for your horse, make sure it hangs dry when not in use. Keep it in a place where it can ventilate and dry if the horse has been sweating while riding. It can be brushed with a stiff brush to remove horse hair.

Matrix has developed the underlay and padding for the best shock absorption. When riding, both horse and rider are exposed to many shocks that propagate through the back - it's extremely stressful. It is to minimize the degree of impact that Matrix has developed (and continues to develop) their underlay and underlay inserts. By minimizing the degree of impact, both the horse's and rider's back can be spared enormously. Riders who suffer from a bad back can benefit greatly from a Matrix underlay, as can horses who are prone to back pain.
