Acavallo All Purpose Short Girth Classic Gel PVC
Acavallo girths are available in dressage and jumping configurations. Dressage girths are shorter (measured in cm) while jumping/GP girths are longer.
How to Measure for a Girth
With the saddle on your horse, measure from the middle hole of the girth straps on one side, under the belly, to the middle hole on the other side. This gives you the ideal girth length — the girth should fasten in the middle holes for maximum adjustment range.

Acavallo Girth Features
Acavallo's anatomical girths feature shaped designs that follow the horse's natural contours, reducing pressure points. Gel models include Acavallo's signature Classic Gel technology for additional shock absorption and anti-slip properties. Sheepskin-lined models provide extra comfort and help prevent rubs.
The all purpose short girth in classic gel and pvc features a revolutionary design, specifically developed to offer your horse unrivaled freedom of movement and exceptional comfort.
Made with a combination of high quality gel and pvc and equipped with stainless steel buckles, this anatomical girth is designed to guarantee superior performance and well-being for the equine.
The combination of the non-slip and cushioning properties of the Acavallo classic gel with the features of expanded polyvinyl chloride (PVC) offers a unique experience.
The gel not only stabilizes the saddle and prevents unwanted movement, but also absorbs pressure and reduces potential skin irritation.
It also features elastic bands on both sides to distribute pressure evenly, as well as a sturdy D-ring that accommodates accessories like bibs, martingales and auxiliary reins.
The Acavallo classic gel is hypoallergenic, non-toxic and delicate on the skin, allowing safe direct contact.
Pvc is a versatile material that gives equestrian gear a mix of stretch and strength. Scratch resistant and easily washable, pvc is an environmentally friendly option thanks to its full recyclability.
- Clean after every use

- Use glycerin soap for leather
