Created and patented by Saddle Me in partnership with Prestige, the RP girth has redefined standards worldwide and is now among the best-selling girths globally. Its unique design addresses a key challenge: providing optimal adaptation to the horse’s movement while maintaining complete saddle stability. And now, it gets even better – with a specially developed lambskin cover, the result of an exclusive collaboration between Mattes and Saddle Me.

Protection and comfort combined

The lambskin girth cover is designed to prevent skin irritations and pressure points in the sensitive girth area. While conventional materials like neoprene or leather have their limits, Mattes & Saddle Me go further – using only premium, naturally tanned lambskin for the side panels and full coverage. This ensures maximum skin-friendliness and lasting comfort for your horse.

A perfect symbiosis: RP technology meets lambskin comfort
‍The innovative design of the RP girth meets the premium lambskin quality of Mattes – combining two leading systems in modern saddle girth technology.

Together, they create a solution that delivers maximum comfort and protection for your horse. The specially designed lambskin girth cover prevents irritation, pressure points, and friction, while the RP girth’s advanced construction allows natural movement and ensures the saddle stays perfectly in place, even during intense activity. This powerful combination is especially effective in the sensitive girth area and at the sternum, reducing stress and supporting your horse’s overall comfort and performance.

Two variants for individual needs
‍The sheepskin girth protector is available in two different variants to meet different requirements:

• FULL version: The girth is fully lined with premium lambskin, offering complete protection and ensuring maximum comfort and skin-friendliness for your horse.
• SIDE version: With this design, only the left and right sides of the girth are padded with lambskin, leaving the center area free. Ideal for horses that are less sensitive in the middle section or do not need extra cushioning there.
