The Pittsburgh Stretch from Schockemöhle Sports is a Black, anatomically shaped short dressage girth that combines soft, full-grain leather with a considered construction to support the horse’s comfort and freedom of movement under saddle. The specific anatomical cut relieves the area around the horse’s elbows and creates extra space behind the elbows, so the front legs can move more freely without the girth restricting the movement.
The centre section of the girth is wider and made from firmer leather to help distribute pressure evenly across the ribcage. This wider contact area reduces pressure points and contributes to a stable and comfortable position of the girth, while the soft leather, anatomical shape and reinforced middle section work together to provide balanced pressure distribution even during longer training sessions. Elastic inserts at both ends offer a flexible, adaptive fit, make adjustment easier and allow the girth to follow the horse’s movement and the natural expansion of the ribcage.
Pittsburgh Stretch is equipped with practical guiding loops for the saddle billets, helping to keep the girth in place and prevent slipping while riding. A D-ring with hook-and-loop fastening allows attachment of, for example, auxiliary reins or other equipment and can be covered and held in place when not in use. The strong roller buckles are made from high-quality material and feature soft padding underneath to reduce pressure against the horse’s body. Overall, this is a functional dressage girth with a focus on anatomical fit, even pressure distribution and practical details for everyday training and competition.
