Dressage girth recommendations

[Stenners]

I need a shorter girth and currently using a memory foam dressage girth which is lovely but didn't know if anyone else had any other recommendations?

Dressage girths are a really personal/individual thing. Here's a guide to shapes, the Mattes girths are lovely - https://shop.mattes-equestrian.com/girth-shapes-and-how-to-measure-correctly.

Would you recommend Mattes dressage girth with / without elastic? And the leather or the material centre piece versions? Thanks

It's hard to say, I have only ever ordered a few for a few customers, I would say that for a long girth I would go elastic (can't even remember if they offer it on long girths) but not necessarily for short. The materials make no difference from what I can see, except in terms of care.

I haven’t personally, but my friend’s gelding reacted REALLY badly to his, an expensive 5 minute ride ?

I recently swapped to a WOW Free Space and it's had a huge impact. There's a thread about it if you do a search.
