WHAT SPLIT SOFT STRAIGHT GIRTHS ARE ALL ABOUT
A split straight girth is essentially a soft straight girth which has been split either side of the sternum plate. This allows a straighter pull from a back girth strap descending at a slight angle rather than a “broken” angle that a normal straight girth would give.
It is used where a H girth would be “too much” but where the girth straps would otherwise create an uneven pull on a normal straight girth.
It will create a bigger triangle on the side of the horse which focuses forces and increases the stability of the “pull” but with less pressure as you do not have an over-tightened strap, due to the triangle the girth strap creates being bigger.
