Can anyone recommend one that comes in brown preferably.
Comfort is my main priority budget is £50-£100 but closer to the low end is ideal!
I've been looking at the prolite ones which I like (although only come in black)
I see one site mentions a narrow gauge one for smaller horses (less than 20 cm elbow to elbow) but no more detail or way of ordering this variety!
Or I could go for a £25 thorowgood type.
Any suggestions?
 
My sensitive Welshie likes her cheap-as-chips Hy Comfort waffle girth - for her they are a better shape than the other synthetic brands. She prefers it to padded leather too (those got sold on!)

Only issue is they can get a bit sweaty under the girth but no rubbing and it's easy to wash off. Just run your fingers along the edges when buying to make sure there's no rough bits though I have a few Hy Comforts in various sizes and they are all fine.

Not sure they come in brown - i use a black one with my brown saddle, can't see much of it when it's on.
 
Prolite are doing brown now, I've just ordered one from my local saddler. About 3 week lead in time though

I don't mind a wait, its not desperate. The webbing keepers are coming unstitched on current one but as long as its done up from the ground its still fine.

Did you get or get offered the fine gauge one?
 
Yes you can order the long and dressage versions in narrow or normal at my saddler. I only needed the normal width.

Another vote for the Hy Comfort. Nice and cheap and my horse loves it. Tried others but I always come back to it.
