When an elite show jumper or eventer tucks its front legs tightly over a massive oxer, the sharp metal studs (caulks) screwed into its horseshoes can cause severe lacerations to its underside. In these high-stakes disciplines, a premium stud girth—often called a belly guard—is a non-negotiable piece of safety equipment.
Pak Empire Industry specializes in the heavy-duty manufacturing of impact-resistant stud girths. Operating from Sialkot, Pakistan, we supply B2B tack distributors, saddlers, and premium equestrian brands with belly guards that offer uncompromising strike protection without inhibiting the horse's bascule (the natural arc over a jump).
Manufacturer: Pak Empire Industry (Direct Factory)
Product Category: Stud Girths / Belly Guard Girths / Jumping Girths
Core Function: High-impact protection against horseshoe studs during jumping.
Materials: Premium Top-Grain Leather, EVA Shock-Absorbing Foam, KEVLAR® reinforcements (optional), Faux-Fleece Linings.
Hardware: Stainless Steel roller buckles, heavy-duty D-Rings, and integrated Carabiners for breastplates/martingales.
Manufacturing a stud girth requires a careful balance. The belly pan must be wide and rigid enough to absorb a direct strike from a metal stud, yet the outer edges must remain flexible enough to allow the horse to draw its knees up tightly without pinching.
Strike-Proof Cores: We manufacture the central belly guard using thickened, multi-layer vegetable-tanned leather, backed by high-density EVA foam. This acts as a protective shield, dispersing the kinetic energy of a horseshoe strike across a wide surface area.
Anatomic Shoulder Relief: The profile of the girth narrows sharply behind the elbows. This deep, asymmetric cut-away allows the horse maximum shoulder rotation and extension during takeoff and landing.
Integrated Martingale Attachments: Jumpers rely heavily on breastplates and running martingales. We integrate heavy-duty, rust-proof D-rings and recessed snap-hook carabiners directly into the center of the belly pad for quick, secure attachment.
Secure Fit Engineering: Outfitted with robust, triple-layered elastic ends that retain their snap-back over years of heavy use, ensuring the saddle stays anchored during high-speed turns.
Production Note for Buyers: We strictly utilize stainless steel roller buckles on all our jumping girths. This drastically reduces friction, protecting the saddle’s billet straps from wearing out during the frequent tightening required in the warm-up ring.
