Does anyone have any suggestions for a girth for a WOW saddle?

I currently use a wintec but the buckles are too close together and the girth straps pinch her. I also have a Kiefer but when she changed coat the short hairs stuck in the girth and she didn't like it, she is happier in the wintec but I would like something that is wider at the buckles as she has sensitive skin.
I use quite a long girth as she also is happier with this but it stills rubs.

Any ideas gratefully received, thanks. <font color="purple"> </font> <font color="purple"> </font>
 
Have you tried a Rhinegold shaped girth? I have one and I think it's quite good quality as well

wow will make girth strap covers for you if you ask, it stops all the pinching and you can still use your wintec girth. They are like a leather tube with a stitch line down the centre that slide over the straps. My horse had to wear them when he first came back into work and was a bit sensitive in that area.
PM me if I can help
 
Thanks alot, I will look into the girths suggested. My trainer mentioned the H girth but said it's a good idea but too much width.

She would benefit from the back strap coming from further back to give it more stability.
She has been off for ages and last time she was working she had a flaired Geoffery Fieldhouse Hafflinger but she outgrew (width) this and the evening I ordered the WOW she went off work (that was August 2006!). Now back in work but WOW needs fine tuning.

Thank you

I don't see how a girth can be too wide

surely the wider the better, more bearing surface etc etc ?
