Breast girths/plates for HUGE horses??

[little_flea]

The X-full Mark Todd breastgirth I bought for Maggie isn't even close to fitting around her sizeable chest... any suggestions on another one I can get that fits a really deep 17.2hh? (you can see the size of her in my signature)

Ideally I want the same style as this one http://www.surreyequestrian.co.uk/mark-todd-breast-girth.html

Get your local saddler to make you one, you can then get it to the design and size that you need

If your problem is saddle slipping try a gel pad it worked for us !

I'd be interested to know if you find one, I have tried so many for my big chested boy that I have now given up and will get one made when I have the cash!

Why do you want a breast girth over a breast plate?

The only reason I ask, is because they are not generally in use SJ'ing (except by eventers) as they do restrict movement

 

[little_flea]

Because breast plates have the bit over the top of the withers which I think would be uncomfortable for my horse as she has very high withers.

I didn't think elasticate breast girths restricted movement?

Breastgirths are unpopular show jumping, because they do impinge on the movement, but they are used a lot eventing and polo, as they are one of the best things to hold your saddle in place!

How about a V check design?
