BUSSE Lunging Girth FLEX FIT – flexible fit for groundwork and lunging

The BUSSE Lunging Girth FLEX FIT is purpose-built for groundwork and lunging, adapting individually to your horse's ribcage shape. The angle-adjustable side parts and the special stainless steel withers bar keep the girth from slipping or tilting while lunging on the bit – no matter how pronounced your horse's withers are. That means you can fully focus on your horse's natural movement during training.

Instead of thick padding, BUSSE relies on sturdy, wide, extra-flat felt padding made from 95% natural wool felt. This keeps the rings close to the girth's contact area, preventing the forward slipping that can otherwise cause rubbing on young or newly lunged horses. The double girth straps on both sides let you freely choose the short girth that suits your horse – anatomically shaped, rounded, or straight-cut. The girth can also be used with a saddle pad, lunging pad, or even over a saddle, and offers 10 or 12 rings depending on size for versatile rein, long-rein, and lunging options.

Overview:

  • Prevents slipping and tilting while lunging on the bit
  • Adjustable side parts for more withers and trapezius freedom
  • Protects withers and spinous processes with flat padding instead of thick pads
  • Adapts to any ribcage shape regardless of withers height
  • Free choice of short girth thanks to double girth straps on both sides
  • Can also be used over a saddle or saddle pad
  • Versatile use for reins, long reins, lunge lines and training aids
