ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a girth, and more particularly to a girth having a breathable structure.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Typical girths for horses are made of cloth materials which may absorb the sweat of the horses and may slip relative to the abdominal portions of the horses such that the horses may feel uncomfortable.
The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages of the conventional girths.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a girth including a breathable structure for air circulation purposes and for preventing the girth from absorbing the sweat of the horse, and including an anti-slip structure for preventing the girth from moving relative to the horse and from hurting or scrubbing the horse.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, there is provided a girth for a horse comprising a cover device including a base member having a substantially open mesh structure characterized by a plurality of through openings, the openings having a cross-sectional area significantly larger than the diameter of horse hair, for permitting air circulation and moisture penetration while avoiding the gripping or wedging of horse hairs within the through-openings in the mesh, the base member including two ends, a fastener strap device secured to the cover device, the fastener strap device including two ends, and two buckles secured to the ends of the fastener strap device and engaged on the ends of the base member of the cover device. The ends of the base member of the cover device are provided between the horse and the buckles for separating the buckles from the horse and for preventing the buckles from hurting the horse.
The cover device further includes a cover member having two sides secured to the base member and having a length shorter than that of the base member for allowing the ends of the base member to be extended outward beyond the cover member, and a space is formed between the cover member and the base member for receiving the fastener strap device.
The fastener strap device includes an envelope having a chamber for receiving fiber materials and having two ends secured to the buckles. Two backing pads are secured to the ends of the fastener strap device and engaged between the buckles and the ends of the base member of the cover device.
The cover device includes a middle portion, the girth further includes a connecting strap engaged around and secured to the middle portion of the cover device and the fastener strap device, and at least one ring secured to the connecting strap.
Further objectives and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a careful reading of a detailed description provided hereinbelow, with appropriate reference to accompanying drawings.
