The digestive system of a horse is especially adapted for a large amount of fibre, preferably high quality, and specious grass – substituted by dustfree hay, or high quality silage or haylage. An average riding horse needs about 1 percent of his body weight as forage (dry matter). For example, a Warmblood which weighs 600 Kilo requires a little over 6 Kilo hay or 10 Kilo Silage (55% Dry Matter) or 8.5 Kilo Haylage (70% Dry Matter). Don’t feed according to volume, but weigh what you’re feeding – otherwise you risk being out by a few Kilos.
Surcingle 'SAVE-MY-SPINE', Leather
Lunge without pressure to the withers
Must surcingles apply a nutcracker-like pressure onto the horse’s withers – either to the sides or on top of the spinous processes. We have solved this problem: underneath the Barefoot surcingle the withers remains unrestricted and there is no pressure – neither onto the withers nor along the sides. The supports on both sides are padded softly and extra wide, so that muscles can develop – without being squeezed.
Five (!) sturdy rings are applied on both sides, so all auxillary reins such as side-reins can be attached, but also long-reins or double lungeing rein can be used in various positions. The surcingle is made from genuine, sturdy leather, with a soft and adjusting underlay made from foam which is covered by suede leather. The fiberglasinlay – size medium – fits almost all back, but can be exchanged - our other inlays can be used. Surcingle can be used with standard dressage girth.
The Barefoot surcingle can be adjusted to suit horses with different shoulder conformations. Easy fitting: open front zipper, exchange pommel inserts, close zipper – finished! We already delivery with inlay in size 'middle'.
Length from Withers to first hole for girthing: 65 cm
Length from Withers to last hole for girthing: 85 cm
