Girth (tack)

A Woilach is a blanket that is folded used as a saddle blanket.

Use

It serves as padding between horse and saddle. Woilache are not often seen because they were largely replaced by saddle blankets and valances that are easier to handle. For trail riders, this form of saddle padding possible friction from off horseback between the layers of the blanket is recommended but still, as the Woilach offers a very good cushion, comes a clean point of the ceiling to the horse daily by other wrinkles, is shifted and he claimed can be riding easily used as a sweat.

In the cavalry Woilache were used as saddle blankets. The classic Woilach was produced using a special weaving technique, which should prevent slipping. Corresponding models it currently seems to be absent on the market, regular army blankets are instead usually used.

Handling

A Woilach is halved again and again into thirds, so that there are a total of six superimposed, equal-sized areas of the ceiling. When folding and saddle must be paid to freedom from wrinkles, as it may cause pressure points on the horse. It is important to ensure that the " closed" side, ie without edges to the front comes to rest.
