Girth galls — saddle sores in the girth area — are one of the most common problems in equestrian sports. Traditional leather and nylon girths trap sweat, sand and chemical residues that abrade the horse's sensitive skin with every stride. Rubbrex silicone girths solve this at the material level: seamless one-piece food-grade silicone with zero stitching means zero hidden grit, zero chemical leaching, and an ultra-smooth surface that moves with the horse instead of against it.

The global equestrian equipment market is projected to grow from €40.7B in 2026 to €67.5B in 2035 (CAGR 5.2%), with sustainable and skin-safe materials leading the shift. Brands like LeMieux and Professional's Choice have already validated silicone's non-slip value — but no one owns the 'zero-oil, food-grade, Europe-tuned' position at wholesale scale. That's the opening Rubbrex fills for distributors and private-label brands.
