The StretchTec Shoulder Relief Girth provides a freer range of motion for a horse's scapula. The girth's unique contour attaches to the billets farther back on a horses's body to prevent the saddle from being pulled forward into the shoulders.
The top of a horse's scapula rotates backward about 2 inches as the forelimb reaches forward. In many cases this can cause the scapula to run into the saddle tree. The StretchTec Shoulder Relief Girth helps to keep the entire range of motion free by preventing the saddle from causing interference.
Let 'em Breathe
The StretchTec Shoulder Relief Girth has a one-of-a-kind patented (US Patent No. D843,666) triangular center elastic that expands with the 1.5 cm chest expansion that horses experience while breathing (during walk & trot). The design also allows it to stretch in a more anatomically friendly way to contour to a horse's barrel and provide even contact over the sternum.
The StretchTec Shoulder Relief Girth also comes with a removable and interchangeable liner (cover). This makes washing easier and gives you many more options. Now your one girth can easily be changed from leather, to neoprene, to fleece lining.
Elbow Comfort
The StretchTec Shoulder Relief Girth is deliberately contoured around the elbow to ensure a safe and comfortable ride.

Shoulder Relief Girths have been used at premier events like the Olympics, World Equestrian Games, Rolex Kentucky 3 Day Event and more.

Updated and improved in 2022, stirrup leathers just got a whole lot better.
SLIM Stability Stirrup Leathers are now available in an intelligent low-profile design that removes the buckle bulkiness of traditional stirrup leathers from under the saddle skirt, leaving a rider feeling nothing but the comfort of the saddle. This unique design also allows a rider to configure the stirrup irons to be rotated 90° from traditional positioning to alleviate knee strain (see above photo gallery for example).
The SLIM Stability Stirrup Leathers’ wide-body design brings an unprecedented level of stability to a rider’s leg by providing a broader contact area on the saddle flap. Traditional 1 inch wide stirrup leathers have an inherent instability against the flap due to their height to width ratio. This either causes the two layers shift independently of one another, or the entire leather to rotate.
SLIM Stability Stirrup Leathers solve this problem by reducing the stirrup leathers to a single layer of leather and broadening the portion of the leathers that touch the flap. These 2 design elements provide an unparalleled level of stability not possible in traditional stirrup leathers.
The secondary benefit of this wide-body design, is the unbelievably smooth feeling under the rider’s leg. By the same mechanism that provides stability, they smooth out the transition from stirrup leather to saddle flap to create a feeling of “no leathers” under the leg. When this is paired with the ultra-slim design under the saddle skirt, it becomes the most comfortable stirrup leather available.
Another key benefit of the SLIM Stability Stirrup Leathers comes from the material selection. The entire body and strap of the leathers is covered in soft calf leather. Internally, nylon webbing runs through 100% of the leathers, from the stirrup bar to the tip of the strap, which guarantees these leather WILL NOT STRETCH.
SLIM Stability Stirrup Leathers are designed deliberately in two styles, either JUMP or DRESSAGE in sizes Small, Medium or Large, which fit like 48″, 54″ and 60″ traditional leathers, respectively.
More specifically the size ranges are as follows:
Jump Small: 18-22 inches
Jump Medium: 19-23.5 inches
Dressage Medium: 21-26.5 inches
Dressage Large: 22-28 inches
Maximum saddle flap length (measured top of stirrup bar to bottom of flap):
Jump Small: 15 inches
Jump Medium: 16 inches
Dressage Medium: 17 inches
Dressage Large: 18.5 inches
Please note that due to the unique design of the SLIM Stability Stirrup Leathers, the irons (stirrups) cannot be “run up” onto the saddle flap for storage. They must be crossed over the seat of the saddle instead (or left in place).

The English SQUISH Pad is a next-generation saddle pad that uses science to improve horse & rider comfort.
To sum it up in one sentence, it's one of those pieces of tack you have to try to understand how profound of a difference it makes. The soft feeling is so distinct, you will notice the ride improvement in the first minute.
The ✨WOW✨ comes from the dampening squish foam and soft felt padding used to make the inner panels. Think of it like a "squish sandwich", where a soft layer of felt is held between two pieces of squishy foam. We arrived at this material composition by testing many viable materials with a BodiTrak pressure sensing mat, ultimately settling on this material make-up because it produces the lowest peak and average pressure readings compared to every other saddle pad we tested.
OK... that sounds neat, but how does it actually work?
Featuring a free spine channel and adjustable wither shape, with squish foam impact dampening panels. Read below for more details…
When you place a saddle on the squishy panels, it sinks into the pad deeper at the highest pressure points. This characteristic of the squish panels works to fill in the gaps under the saddle to even out the pressure. In addition to the gel foam, the inner felt panels act as a diffuser to further even out saddle pressure.
Impact Absorption
This might sound a little crazy, but the "impact" to a horse's back while riding is actually quite low... we know this because we measured it. Many brands attempt to solve impact absorption with dense impact foams and plastics, but they are solving the wrong problem. This is because the PSI exerted over a horse's back is typically only in the 2-4 PSI range (which is low). For perspective, an adult will exert over 10 PSI on the ground while walking.
The data shows that the way to make a horse comfortable and protect against soreness is to dampen all the small movements under the saddle, similar to the shocks in your car that soak up all the imperfections in the road to make a smooth ride.
This is what the squish panels do. They dampen the movements to make for a more comfortable ride for horse and rider. This softening is very obvious for horses or riders with sensitive backs.
