The WOW Split Soft Straight Girth combines several popular WOW girths into one excellent option. Offering the improved lateral stability of an H Girth, the thin, soft straps that prevent galls of the Soft Straight Girth, and the mild Lateral Thoracic Nerve and Ascending Pectoral release of the FreeSpace Girth. The Split Soft Straight Girth is an excellent choice for horses that require the use of a Point Strap, Foregirth, or Balance Straps, or horses prone to rubbing or chaffing behind the elbow.

It features:

• Very thin, very soft leather straps
• Leading strap is designed to move and roll with the horse's skin rather than rubbing and chaffing against the thin skin behind the horse's elbow
• Split sides allow equal pressure to be applied to both billets
• Longer split allows a larger triangle to be created between the billets
• Improves lateral stability of the saddle, especially on round or wide horses
• Chafe-free pressure behind the elbow for thin-skinned horses or those prone to girth galls/rubs
• May be used alone or paired with an Elegance Sternum Plate
• Loop and dee ring at the center to attach auxiliary tack or training equipment to be quickly & easily attached
• Buckles are self-buckling for quick & easy girth tightening on longer billets when mounted
• Full-length sleeves to tuck your billets into for a neat, tidy appearance
• No elastic

The Split, Soft, Straight Girth is split on either side of the sternum plate to allow a straighter pull on the rear girth strap when it descends at a slight angle rather than the broken angle that a normal straight girth would create.  Primarily used when an H girth would be 'too much', but where the billets would otherwise create an uneven pull on a normal straight girth.  It will create a bigger triangle on the side of the horse which focuses forces and increases the stability of the pull but with less pressure as you do not have an over tightened strap due to the triangle the girth strap creates being bigger. It allows the girth straps to be fastened in opposing directions.

WOW's Split, Soft, Straight Girth can be used alone or combined with WOW's Elegance Sternum Plate, which creates a small pocket of space either side of the plate where no pressure is applied to the horse's ribs. The Elegance Sternum Plate is WOW's smallest Sternum Plate that provides relief of pressure along the girth; designed for use on finer horses such as Thoroughbreds and Arabians, or smaller mounts such as ponies. While the Elegance does not create as large of a gap as WOW's FreeSpace Girth, the Elegance is an excellent alternative in the right situations.
