The Pittsburgh Stretch from Schockemöhle Sports is a brown, 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 during riding. Elastic inserts at both ends provide a flexible, adaptive fit so the girth can follow the natural expansion of the ribcage.
The specific anatomical cut is designed to relieve the area around the horse’s elbows and increase freedom of movement, with extra space behind the elbows so the forelegs can move more freely. The centre section is wider and made from firmer leather to help distribute pressure evenly across the chest, which reduces pressure points and keeps the girth stable, even during longer sessions.
Pittsburgh Stretch features practical guiding loops for the saddle billets to help prevent the girth from slipping, as well as a D-ring for attaching auxiliary reins or other equipment. The D-ring has a hook-and-loop fastening so it can be covered and held in place when not in use. Strong roller buckles made from high-quality material have soft padding underneath to reduce pressure against the horse’s body, and the elastic on both sides also makes adjustment easier. A functional dressage girth with a focus on anatomical fit, even pressure distribution and practical details for daily training and competition.
