Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a girth for horses.
  • a girth is an item of tack that passes under the "barrel” or chest of the horse, and other saddled animals, in order to secure the saddle.
  • the girth is generally made of leather or of synthetic material and comprises one or more straps which are intended to be arranged about the chest of the animal.
  • the girth is associated with a breastplate, which is intended to be arranged at the height of the sternum of the horse, and the purpose of which is to reduce localized pressure owing to the tightening of the straps.
  • a girth can determine inflammation to the stomach, weakness or "girthiness" (when the horse panics and refuses to be strapped).
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate, or at least drastically reduce, the above mentioned drawbacks by providing a girth that is extremely comfortable.
  • an object of the present invention is to make available a girth which, thanks to a lower pressure on the sternum of the horse, is capable of ensuring that the horse has a greater freedom of movement.
  • Another object of the present invention is to devise a girth that is extremely practical and which is low cost, so as to make its use advantageous from an economic viewpoint as well.
  • the present invention relates to a girth for horses, which is generally designated with the reference numeral 1.
  • the girth 1 comprises at least one elongated body 2 which has, substantially at its ends 2a, respective elements 3 for engagement with corresponding connecting portions which are integral with a saddle.
  • the engagement elements 3 can comprise respective buckles 3a which may be connected to the elongated body 2 by way of interposition of elastic connecting elements.
  • the girth 1 comprises a breastplate 4, which is associated with at least one elongated body 2.
  • the breastplate 4 is intended to be arranged during use so as to face the chest region of the horse.
  • the breastplate 4 is provided, at its surface 4a which is designed to face the chest region, with at least one perimetric raised portion 5 which is extended along at least one portion of the peripheral edge of the breastplate 4.
  • the perimetric raised portion or portions 5 extends/extend substantially along the entire peripheral edge of the breastplate 4.
  • the breastplate 4 has a single perimetric raised portion 5 which extends substantially along the entire peripheral edge of the breastplate 4.
  • the breastplate 4 comprises, at the surface 4a which is designed to face the chest region and is defined inside the perimetric raised portion 5, at least one ribbing 6, which is arranged and extends substantially parallel to the elongated body 2.
  • the breastplate 4 comprises, at its surface 4a which is designed to face the chest region and is defined inside the perimetric raised portion 5, a plurality of ribbings 6 which are arranged and which extend substantially parallel to the elongated body 2.
  • the breastplate 4 can slide along the elongated body 2.
  • the girth 1 comprises means 10 of limiting the sliding extent of the breastplate 4 along the elongated body 2.
  • the limiting means comprise an abutment element 11 which is supported by the elongated body 2 and which, in the condition for use, is arranged between two locking elements 12 which are integral with the breastplate 4.
  • both the abutment element or elements 11 and the two locking elements 12 extend substantially at right angles to the elongated body 2.
  • the locking elements 12 can comprise respective elastic bands while the elongated body, substantially in the central region with respect to its extension, can have two mutually opposite elements which define the abutment elements 11.
  • the locking elements 12 are constituted by elastic bands makes it possible to separate, if the need should arise, the elongated body 2 from the breastplate 4.
  • the girth 1 further comprises means for connection between the elongated body 2 and the breastplate 4.
  • connection means are provided by the locking elements 12.
  • the breastplate 4 comprises a closure flap 7, which is arranged on the outer surface 4b which lies opposite to the surface 4a.
  • the flap 7 is, in particular, adapted to allow, when open, access to the connection means.
  • the flap 7 can be connected or sewn to a peripheral region of the surface 4b of the breastplate 4, while at the other end it can have coupling means, for example of the type with Velcro® 7a, which can be engaged with a corresponding region 7b defined on the breastplate 4.
  • the perimetric raised portion 5 and/or the ribbings 6 are made of soft material such as, for example, latex, rubber, neoprene etc..
  • the girth according to the invention makes it possible to distribute uniformly, and over an ample surface, the force exerted on the elongated body.
  • the particular shape structure of the breastplate, and in particular the presence of the perimetric raised portion, makes it possible to provide an air "cushion" between the breastplate and the chest region with consequent increase of comfort for the horse.
