Stübben Equi-Soft® Pads by Mattes for Girth Lambskin Graphite

Stübben Equi-Soft® Lambskin Pad by Mattes for Stübben Equi-Soft® Girth - Graphite, Premium Comfort for Horses

Lambskin Color Graphite - rich gray tone ideal for dark horses

The lambskin color Graphite is a rich gray tone that enjoys great popularity. Due to its darker color, Graphite is visually somewhat less sensitive to dirt. The graphite-colored lambskin matches all Stübben leather colors such as black, ebony, and tobacco. The rich gray tone Graphite is particularly suitable for darker horses such as black, dark bay, bay, or chestnut. Please note that dyed lambskin may rub off on lighter horse coats.

Compatibility with Stübben Equi-Soft® Girths

The Stübben Equi-Soft® Pad by Mattes made of high-quality Australian lambskin in Graphite is the second component of the Stübben Equi-Soft® Girth. The lambskin pad by Mattes is attached to the girth using the Stübben Velcro system, which connects all Equi-Soft® Pads to the Equi-Soft® Girth as standard. This allows you to flexibly decide which material and color you want to use for your Equi-Soft® girth. The Equi-Soft® girth can only be used with an Equi-Soft® pad. The Stübben Equi-Soft® lambskin pad by Mattes is compatible with all Equi-Soft® girths in the long girth and short girth versions, as well as the Equi-Soft® western girth. The Equi-Soft® stud guard girth is excluded.
