non elasticated, that doesn't cost the earth....

Do they exist?

I have tried most places but ebay...

Any suggestions!?

Also, stirrup irons widths seem really small on frogpool manor webby....4 3/4 is the widest for the bent leg safety stirrups. I've looked on a measure tape and it looks awfully small....How wide are everyone elses?

Thanks

Mine are 4 3/4 they aren't that small, fine for me and I do XC in them, wouldn't if thought they were too small.
What about a balding girth?

Oh I have looked at the atherstones but all seem to be elasticates *Humph* But I have a few more websites to look at so we shall see...

Jeffries definitely make a non elasticated atherstone girth, I bought one second hand at a tack shop yesterday (£15 bargain

). I really want a girth with elastic both ends but it is hard to find one in the right shade of brown without a huge price tag.

My stirrups are 4 1/2" if that helps.

Oooh thank you! Do you know if the tack shop you bought it from has a website or anything?

thanks for your help.
 
Any Tack shop who is an Jeffries Stockist should be able to get you a Wembley Vagabond Leather Girth. You an get them with no elastic (so long as you dont need a Huge one) or with elastic one end or with it at both ends.

Also you can get Mark Todd Flexi Irons in a 5", but unless you are wearing chunky boots to be honest most people are fine in a 4 3/4"

I bought it from Hengest Fram in banstead but it was in the second hand section. It was very lucky because they didn't have any new ones in the right size and there were only a few 2nd hand items. It was obviously our lucky day.

I'll have a look on the internet and see if I can find it for you x
