A sheepskin girth is a girth lined with genuine or synthetic sheepskin, used to fasten the saddle to the horse. The soft and pressure-distributing surface minimizes the risk of chafing and discomfort, while providing a luxurious feel and stylish finish. If the horse often gets chafed, reacts negatively when being saddled, or has thin skin, a sheepskin girth can make a big difference.
