These traditional girth sleeves are made from the same high quality Australian merino lambswool as the numnahs and are very effective against girth gaules, sweat build-up and rubbing in the girth area, especially with horses with sensitive skin. (60cm x 15cm). Can be cut to size. Remove hair, dirt and dried sweat with a stiff brush. Machine wash at 30° on a cold/wool cycle or hand wash. Use wool wash Lemieux (available from Horse Health). Straighten/flatten cotton fabric after washing. Air dry near a heat source. Never tumble dry. Avoid using harsh cleaning products. Warning: In rare cases, dye from black wool items can seep into wool items and give them a slight blue tint. Grey coats may be stained.
