The surcingle with LD-handles is the latest design from Kristensen.
It was used at tested in 2009 both in Kentucky and at the European
championships - at both events with great succes.
The LD-handles is making an extended number of grips possible both for the individual vaulter and in team-vaulting. The little 'd' in the handle is giving a very good and correct grip for the smaller vaulters in the compulsory mount.
The surcingle is as usual for Kristensen surcingles, handmade in leather over a center of spring-steel, which ensures the perfect fit for the horse. The pads are also the classic low pads, which lowers the handles and thereby lowering the center of gravity to ensure stability of the girth even under the power of a moving vaulter.
The LD-surcingle is available in
white, black, brown, bordeaux etc. You can get it with standard
padding or velcropads, and it's also selectable whether it should
be with power-girth or standard undergirth.
The surcingle is of course born with the uniqe pattented side-rein
system.
