At the moment I have a professional's choice neoprene girth, which is lovely. However, my horse does have a rather forward girth groove and when I do it up I can see that the way the current girth lies means that the bottom of his shoulders / elbows will be moving back into it. I figure this can't be comfortable.
I've been looking at prolite girths and I noticed one has appeared on eBay at a price I wouldn't mind paying if I knew my horse would feel happier. It is the same size as my current girth but isn't elasticated like the professional's choice one.
I've seen people say they come up small - so would a 48" prolite fit my horse who is currently in a 48" professional's choice? Is there a massive difference between the narrow and standard gauge ones or doesn't it matter too much?
I am genuinely torn about what would be best for my horse. He isn't unhappy in his current girth, and he certainly doesn't hesitate to tell me if he isn't comfortable, but the way he is makes me wonder if he would be happier in an anatomically shaped girth.
