Product Description

Short Stud Girth (24″ – 32″) with Rubber

Short Stud Girth designed to protect your horse’s belly from horseshoe studs. Made with Italian leather and Vibram brand rubber. The rubber on the stud guard area is made of Vibram Newflex rubber, a shock absorbing, highly durable rubber that is extremely lightweight. If you have a good pair of hiking boots, it’s likely that you’re using a variation of Vibram rubber to protect your feet from jagged rocks – check the sole for the logo! Using this type of rubber for horse stud guards is innovative and exclusive to the Amerigo stud girth. Outside of their primary market as shoe soles, you can also find Vibram used on motorcycle frames and other impact prone accessories for off road sports.

If you’re more traditional and want an all leather short stud girth, checkout the Amerigo Stud Protector Event Girth with Leather.

Equestrian sports like any other has its own language. The manufacturing company calls this girth the Amerigo Stud Protector Event Girth with Vibram. No one has ever called it that at our shop or in an email. Riders typically just ask for a short stud girth for a long billet saddle.
