CAMEO Traditional Wool Overgirth

British Racing Heritage & Crucial Saddle Security: The CAMEO Traditional Wool Overgirth

Ensure maximum safety, saddle stability, and peace of mind during high-speed competition with the CAMEO Traditional Wool Overgirth. Proudly Made in the United Kingdom from materials sourced exclusively from established British manufacturers, this professional 50mm (2-inch) overgirth is an indispensable safety requirement across Thoroughbred racing, point-to-point, cross-country eventing, and hunting.

Crafted from premium, tightly woven heavy-duty natural wool webbing, the overgirth wraps completely around the horse's barrel and over the saddle seat or flaps, acting as a vital secondary failsafe against girth, billet, or buckle failure at speed. The natural wool fibres offer subtle grip against saddle leather, preventing slippage and saddle shifting during steep descents and powerful jumping efforts. Anchored with a reinforced 100% REACH-certified leather chape and fitted with a heavy-duty cast stainless steel roller buckle, it provides flawless British craftsmanship and unyielding performance when safety is paramount.

Key Performance Benefits

• 100% Made in the UK: Handcrafted to exacting British racing standards using premium UK-manufactured wool webbing and leatherwork for ultimate high-speed safety.
• 50mm Heavy-Duty Woven Wool Webbing: Substantial 2-inch width disperses tension evenly around the barrel without digging in or restricting ribcage expansion.
• Vital Secondary Saddle Security: Provides an essential safety backup over the saddle in racing, eventing, and hunting, preventing saddle loss if primary billets fail.
• Natural Non-Slip Wool Texture: Wool fibres provide natural friction against saddle flaps, keeping the overgirth firmly seated without twisting or sliding backwards.
• Reinforced Leather Chape: Hand-finished, vegetable-tanned leather tab reinforces the buckle attachment point, preventing webbing fray under high tension.
• Cast Stainless Steel Roller Buckle: Heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant roller buckle allows smooth, precise tightening over the saddle flap from the ground or mounted.
