A horse’s ribcage expands significantly during heavy exertion. When a girth is entirely rigid, this expansion is restricted, leading to reduced oxygen intake, fatigue, and muscular soreness. The solution is dynamic flexibility combined with targeted cushioning.
Pak Empire Industry manufactures premium Padded Elastic Girths designed to deliver absolute saddle security without compromising the horse's respiratory freedom. Operating out of Sialkot, Pakistan, we supply tack shops, B2B wholesalers, and equestrian brands with highly engineered, shock-absorbing girths that move with the horse, rather than against it.

We engineer our padded elastic girths to solve the two most common causes of girth-related behavioral issues: sternum pressure and restrictive tightness.
Symmetrical Elastic Stretch: We highly recommend our dual-end elastic designs. By placing heavy-duty, triple-layered elastic inserts on both ends of the girth, the stretch is distributed evenly. This ensures the saddle remains perfectly centered on the horse’s spine while allowing the ribcage to expand deeply during demanding jumping rounds or galloping.
Pressure-Dispersing Cushioning: The core of the girth features a thickened, padded belly channel. Using EVA memory foam or specialized gel inserts, this padding acts as a shock absorber, dispersing the downward pressure of the saddle across a much wider surface area.
Anti-Pinch Buckle Guards: A critical safety and comfort feature. We extend the padded lining significantly past the buckle attachments. This creates a soft barrier that guarantees the metal roller buckles and stiff billet straps never come into direct contact with the horse’s sensitive skin.
A high-quality padded girth requires complex, multi-layered stitching to ensure the cushioning does not flatten out or shift over time. We offer various material builds for your catalog:
The Leather Heritage Line: A durable top-grain leather outer shell, packed with high-density foam, and lined with buttery-soft nappa leather or calfskin. Perfect for the traditional show ring.
The Synthetic Comfort Line: A heavy-duty nylon web core wrapped in ultra-thick, breathable synthetic fleece or waffle neoprene. Highly cost-effective, easy to wash, and ideal for sensitive horses prone to sweat rashes.
Shape-Retaining Elastic: Cheap elastic degrades quickly. We strictly source industrial-grade, tight-weave elastic that retains its "snap-back" tension even after years of tightening and stretching.
Elevate a standard piece of tack into a signature brand item. Our private label manufacturing allows you to dictate every detail of the final product:
Custom Elastic Colors: Stand out in the market by utilizing custom-striped elastic ends. We can weave the elastic to match national flags, riding club liveries, or your brand’s specific pantone colors.
Contrast Stitching & Piping: Enhance the visual profile of your padded leather girths with elegant white fancy stitching or colored leather piping along the edges.
Branded Finishes: Add your logo via premium leather embossing on the center pad, or customized woven tags stitched securely into the elastic webbing.
