Hi Richard I can’t offer advice but if no one comes along you could try asking on DIY horsebox renovators on FB

The hit air has a drop down to protect the coccyx area

I use these on my dog’s harness in winter, very effective

I live in Durham and the one who sticks in my mind is Paul Langford, I’ve not ridden with him myself but I know he’s well thought of. Lesley Wheatley is another possibility, same as above though. Sam Brown, I’ve had a few lessons off her, she’s bred a lot of successful dressage ponies. I’m...
