Not sure if anyone has been following my posts regarding my ridiculous shape little horse... basically she has an extremely forward girth groove, with a set back shoulder making her a saddle fitters worst nightmare.
There seems to be an abundance of C shaped girths in a short length but barely any that are long (she has an Albion K2 Jump). I have been trying to find shaped girths that will work, however the only one I haven't tried (and I have tried many) that even looks remotely suitable is the Cotswold Sports curved one... however they don't have her size.
So sitting here scratching my little head, I have come up with the idea of buying one of the short dressage/monoflap girths and fashioning some sort of girth extension for each side using 4 stirrup leathers cut down to size, with holes punched in them - which can attach at one end to the girth straps and at the other end to the short girth.
Is this ridiculous, or might it actually be a stroke of genius?
