Single Elastic US Style Race Girth by Zilco

Origin	Australia

The Zilco Single Elastic US Style Race Girth features a streamlined and minimalist design with a 75mm (3″) width and single-layer elastic construction to keep overall weight to a minimum, ideal for competitive racing environments. It includes stainless steel buckles and glossy patent end pieces that match the selected colour (Black, Red, or Royal Blue) for a sharp race-ready look. The girth is offered in multiple lengths (for example, 80cm shown) to fit various horse sizes and is specifically targeted at flat race applications where lightness and freedom are key.

Usage

Target Species:

Horses

Application:

Used with a racing saddle during flat racing or high-speed training sessions to secure the saddle while maintaining minimal restriction and weight.

Method:

Select the appropriate length and width based on your horse’s size and saddle fit (example: 75 mm wide × 80 cm length shown)
Position the girth under the saddle and attach the billet straps to the stainless steel buckles on each side.
Adjust to ensure a snug fit, secure but not overly tight, allowing proper breathing and movement while preventing saddle slipping.
After use, rinse or wipe clean to remove sweat and dirt, check for signs of wear (elastic stretch, buckle integrity), and store in a dry, ventilated area.

Frequency:

Suitable for every race and training session where a lightweight, performance-oriented girth is required.
Inspect before each use and replace when the elastic or buckles show significant wear or loss of functionality.
