Mohair Girth

For those who have heard of Westip girths, which are popular in Europe, Ghost has teamed with Westip to make a custom elastic webbing with the Italian flag colors. The entire length is slightly elastic for comfortable grip to the horse. Great help if saddles slip front-back or side-side on your horse. These girths are also very thin, so if your horse is smaller or the saddle is likely to put the girth into the armpits of your horse, the Ghost Westip is a great choice. Girths are available in 5cm increments. 60cm is roughly 24".

Ghost now has several options for girth/cinch rigging. The original sliding V is great as it allows the rider to independently position the girth and saddle and the sliding V will move with the horse through all gaits. Any saddle may be ordered with cinch rigging, either nylon or leather covered nylon (some have commented the leather covered doesn't slide as well as the nylon). And now we've added the option for the Cavallin/Puro rigging for all saddles as well. This rigging is simple and in some cases more stable since it can't move as easily with the horse, but the rider can adjust the girth position by tightening one billet more than the other to create the desired angle.

Wedged shim inserted between base and closed panels. Perfect for those who want the classy look of the closed panels (especially with a matching color/material) but need a little lift in front to balance the rider for horses who might be downhill where the saddle wants to side or who have less curvature than the Ghost base. These work great with velcro opening panels too, and sometimes are a bigger solution than the felt shims that can go inside the panel. Sold in pairs.

Ghost makes an extremely nice pad, especially for the very reasonable price. Many people buy these for other saddles including BMSS, Freeform, and even treed saddles. Bottom material options include sympanova (a soft rubber, easy to clean, breathable), black or white wool blend, and an amazing medicinal sheepskin. I recommend 1cm inserts with sheepskin unless rider is over 185, and for other bottom materials unless over 165 or horse's spine is well protected.
I keep mostly black with various bottom materials in stock. Other colors will have to be ordered from Italy.
