FEATURING ZEATHER! ARTIFICIAL LEATHER LINING

Wither Riser Wither Strap

Introducing Zilco’s innovative Wither Riser wither strap – a revolutionary solution crafted to alleviate the downward pressure often experienced in the wither/neck area, particularly prevalent in low lines of draft. By intelligently redistributing this pressure across the horse’s shoulders, the Wither Riser enhances equine comfort, paving the way for optimal performance.

Engineered with a spring steel tree, the Wither Riser boasts a unique design that minimizes stress on the wither/neck region. Its soft foam padding, enveloped in our opulent Zeather artificial leather lining, ensures a luxurious experience for your horse. Please note that while the spring steel tree offers flexibility, it may not be ideal for horses with thicker-set necks.

Elevate your horse’s well-being and performance with Zilco’s Wither Riser – where innovation meets equine comfort. Pony 444244
