Can anyone find me a synthetic (any kind just not real leather) 24" - 26" short girth, same shape as a (ideally Narrow Gauge) Prolite, just with elastic at both ends?

If madame wasn't so fussy I'd have just bought a Prolite, but if it's not elastic then she's having none of it!

I've been to three different large saddlerys over the last couple days with no luck 🙃
 
How about these?



Shires and Lemiuex do leather versions too.

Thanks Squeak! The Collegiate one is close to what I'm after!
 
I don’t know if it’s elastic but my friend bought the Le mieux girth and it’s really lovely. Super soft and padded. Much nicer than the Prolite I had and gave her to try.

The le mieux is elastic at both ends but it's real leather. It's really soft and I loved mine but my horse didn't, £100+ down the drain 😭😭😭.

Seems like it's leather though, trying to avoid leather where possible as my 'tack room' loves to make anything leather go mouldy 🤮

(Plus I do have a personal embargo on buying Le Mieux, I would consider second hand though!)
 
Ah I was going to suggest this but it’s leather again…
 

I have one of these and really like it 😀
 
Thought about putting on an elastic extender for the side that doens't have elastic? Could probably get a decent saddler to make one if you can't buy one

Dever do a lot of synthetic plus elastic girths, but not sure on quality these days
