dressage girth recommendations for a very thin skinned and sensitive boy

[Futureformerlawyer]

As the post title says really... Can anyone recommend a dressage girth/girth and sleeve combo for my thin skinned and sensitive boy?

In particular has anyone used the nuumed sleeves-do they come above the buckled so you don't have exposed straps and has anyone used the wow h girth and can you use a sleeve with it?

Thanks

I have found that a proper sheepskin liner is better than ones where the wool has been removed from the skin and sewn onto a synthetic base. I have bought washable lambskin rugs from country shows before and made my own liners from them.

I use a normal girth with a sheepskin liner from Christ. Available from Horsedream.co.uk. Better than Bartl, Stephens, Mattes or Lemieux.

I use a Lemieux dressage girth liner. My boy although not thin skinned is permanently clipped out and he loves it.

Go onto classical dressage website and look for mattes shaped dressage girth. Sheepskin lined - love mine and would definitely recommend!!!

Thanks guys this is really helpful. Dollymix does the mattes all in one wash well? W

Jenni999 just been looking at the Christ products. They look v good. How do you find them size wise? They look very wide-esp the shaped ones even at the elbow point? Also how do they wash? Thanks

Professionals Choice are superb for thin skinned, sensitive types - Merino wool lining which you can take off & wash.
