The Zilco Race Girth & Surcingle Set Ultra-Light Polypropylene is engineered for elite racing use, offering exceptional weight savings without compromising function. Constructed from 50 mm (≈2 ”) wide polypropylene webbing, the set features elasticated ends for flexibility and comfort under exertion. The manufacturer lists the girth at just 54 grams and the surcingle at 80 grams, remarkably lightweight for performance tack. Its striking beige/black/grey stripe design adds the aesthetic appeal expected in race gear.
Target Species: Horses
Application: Used in flat racing or high-speed training sessions where weight reduction is critical and a combined girth + surcingle setup is required.
Method:
Place the saddle on the horse and fit the girth around the barrel via the billeting system, ensuring the 50 mm polypropylene lies flat and secure.
Attach the surcingle over the top of the saddle or as prescribed for the race discipline, ensuring the elastic ends provide flexibility as the horse moves.
After use, unbuckle and remove both items, rinse or wipe clean of sweat, hair or dirt, check for any fraying or damage, allow to air dry and store in a dry tack area.
Frequency:
Suitable for every race or training session where ultra-light gear is preferred.
Before each use, inspect for wear in the elastic ends, webbing condition and buckle integrity.
