BEST GIRTH VOTE!!

[EquestrianFairy]

Give me your best Girth vote...

Which ones do you use and why!

 

[MillionDollar]

I love the Wintec chaffless girth. Because it is shaped, has elastic in the middle, meaning that the pull on the saddle is even and it is so easy to keep clean.

 

[scotsmare]

I have jeffries leather girths and loooove them

but, I only use leather ones cos I don't like the nylon ones..... so am biased

 

[kerilli]

i have quite a few padded leather with elastic in the middle (specially made for me), also Wintec chafeless and thoroughgood. umm, also Stubben string girth, and Kay Humphries cotton girth.
i won't use anything with elastic at one end, they are the work of the devil!

 

[Gentle_Warrior]

stubben string girth, stops saddle slipping, and v confy for neddy

 

[pinktiger]

whit stud girth jumping
prestiege girth flatwork

 

[lucym]

for every day i use a wintec, and its great, much better then previous leather girths
use a comfort zone stud girth for jumping which is also very good

 

[Jane_Lou]

Wintec on the jumping saddle and on the dressage saddle I have an old Bucas padded cotton girth that washes up a treat despite being about 15 years old!

 

[donablue]

thorogood ones

 

[vickyguns]

I have one with elastic at one end! Will agree with the devils work thing, my hand slipped the other day and I proceeded to give myself a slap in the eyeball

..not good. Keeping a watch on e-bay for a leather one.

 

[Tiggy1]

Professional choice.
Neoprene to stop slipping and elastic both ends.
Fab

 

[Murphy3]

Another vote for Wintec.

 

[kombikids]

stubben leather girth

 

[Persephone]

I have a Sabre dressage which I use on my jumping saddle and an Elevator dressage on my Dressage saddle. Both are leather with elastic both ends.

 

[pottamus]

Thorogood...fab fit, real comfy, looks like new even after 2 years heavy use and scubs clean with a hose and brush!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Always preferred leather girths myself

 

[itsme123]

Wintec or the thorowgood one which is just the same but cheaper. Used alongside an anti slip pad I've not once had a problem with a saddle slipping on a table backed pony

 

[Tiffany]

I have the new Albion shaped dressage girth, it's so supple I love it and my girl seems very comfy also

 

[Three]

Have to nominate two I'm afraid.

Frank Baines Sheepskin lined girth - leather, sheepskin and adjusts at both ends. It's perfect for my thin skinned oldie.

Professional Choice - neoprene with elastic both ends. Suits the cob perfectly as it helps stop his saddle slipping.

 

[daisycrazy]

Excelle - never rub, comfortable, easy to clean.

 

[Bert&Maud]

Stubben Trevira Cord for my GP, and a fab secondhand Kate Negus leather padded one for my dressage saddle (Ebay is great when you find what you're looking for!).

 

[Honeypots]

Stubben Cord Girth..

 

[palomino_pony]

I have a new shires shaped padded leather girth with elastic at both ends. see below.
For a less pricey leather girth for everyday its beautiful and horsey is very comfortable with the wider belly bit.

I bought a Wintec stretchy all the way through it one, and is very soft yet strong, and Norman has no complaints either!

Does the padding in the middle ever cause friction with the horse? I don't like elasticated on both ends

The Wintec girths, can they be used with any saddle or just the wintec models.

 

[ann-jen]

Definitely wintec.

 

[Lobelia_Overhill]

I used to have Cottage Craft girth - it was machine washable... do they still make them?

 

[sachak]

i have to say mollie's wintec girth is lovely and they last forever, have not long had to replace her old one which lasted years

I also have the lemico wave girth from D&T - is v comfy for the horse can't comment on durability yet as only had it a week with the horse! although it is designed for maximum durability x

 

[gina2201]

WIntec girth - ANY saddle. No reason they are brand specific. I use my wintec girth my non-wintec saddle!

 

[the watcher]

Stubben string girth...and humane girth (I know may people hate them)
