Saddle stability combined with complete freedom of movement for your horse

The SCHARF FREEDOM girth is a unique concept developed with the horse’s anatomy at the forefront of its design, offering independent support of the rib muscles, as well as both the upward and the oblique chest muscles. The special structure of the SCHARF FREEDOM girth relieves pressure on the ­ sternum whilst providing optimum support yet complete freedom of movement when the horse is in motion.

Strong & resistant

The webbing is the only webbing on the market with an integrated structure made of non-deformable synthetic fiber. This material acts as an inner “body” without cuts, grooves or seams. This makes the FREEDOM girth is extremely strong and almost impossible to break. The synthetic fiber withstands resistance/pull of up to 750 kg for dressage and ponies. The FREEDOM girth for jumping, eventing, racing and western can withstand resistance/pull of up to 1500 kg.
The synthetic "body" is covered with premium leather for optimal quality and elegance. The waterproof girth is covered with PVC and elastotec in the best quality. This synthetic fiber has been used for generations for extreme sports activities (climbing, ship mooring, air sports, etc.). This product is certified according to European safety standards.

The SCHARF FREEDOM girth is completely unique.

 
Its revolutionary concept makes it the first girth on the market that optimizes muscle function. The extreme flexibility of the girth makes it easy to fold so it takes up little space and is easier to transport (carry). The Freedom girth is a unique product for which a patent has been applied. It is manufactured in Europe with the highest quality material in accordance with EU standards. This product focuses on the quality of life of the horse, and the quality of the girth allows you to enjoy it for many years to come.

Freedom of movement without Limits

The SCHARF FREEDOM GIRTH’s unique construction is designed so that each part of the girth works with specific muscle groups in the horse’s chest in both horizontal and vertical directions, thereby helping the muscles to work optimally. The rib muscles (Intercostals) are supported on both sides. All pads in the SCHARF FREEDOM girth work independently of each other for optimal freedom allowing the horse to use its full lung capacity, whilst freeing the sternum, leaving it exposed under the FREEDOM straps.

JUMPING

Working in Harmony with the Muscle groups

Usually, we think of the girth as a necessity to hold the saddle on the horse, but the SCHARF FREEDOM girth is designed for the horse when jumping. The SCHARF FREEDOM jumping and eventing girths all have the same benefits as the SCHARF FREEDOM dressage girth - biomechanical movement, exposed sternum and ventilation that reduces heat and sweat development, but in addition is designed and optimised for these particular disciplines. The design focus has taken into account all the movement that the horse goes through to achieve its goal - jumping fences of different heights and widths. In jumping, the horse must attack the fence with good rhythm and balance, take-off must be a fluid motion to achieve the height to clear the fence - the most important element of the competition. This action takes less than two seconds.
