Alpaca wool is finer and lighter than sheep's wool (lambskin) and is perfect for horses with a sensitive girth. It is anti-static and anti-allergic because it does not contain lanolin (wool fat). In addition, the alpaca fleece girth protector is extremely breathable and thermoregulating , so that the horse sweats less in the girth position. This girth protector is the perfect choice , especially for horses with inflamed sebaceous glands or irritated skin in the saddle position . The belt protector can be ordered as a short belt or long belt or in a completely individual length and width at no extra charge.
