Flexi girth?

[Slave2Magic]

Has anyone tried one of these? I ordered one and it came today so I haven't had chance to try it yet. It looks like seat belt material. Hope it doesn't rub!

I looked at the picture and thought that it looked like seat belt material as well.

let us know how you get on with it

Hi,
Just read your post re the Flexi girth (long time ago!) and wonder how you got on with it as am considering buying one. Did it work? And more importantly did it rub?
Cheers,
Angie

I have just used the 'try before you buy' scheme they have and I have ordered a new one.

Yes the material is just like seatbelt material but it hasn't rubbed my horse and along with my Acavallo gel sticky pad I now have a much more stable saddle. My four year old has a very flat back, no withers and shoulders like a bull so is xxxw in saddle and therefore staying central was a bit of a balancing act.

For me it has been a success so far and nice to try before you buy so you don't waste hard earned cash!!

I have a dressage Flexi Girth and love it. We used it all last year and no problems, there are no rubs and the horse is very comfortable in it as it stretches a bit when they breath out. The saddle no longer moves to one side and its easy to wash. I have now bought one for my GP saddle as I am so pleased with it.

I've used the dressage type for over a year now, it's the only girth I use.

It hasn't rubbed at all and keeps my (treeless) saddle still.

I can't rate them highly enough.

I've been recommended one by the saddle fitter I'm buying Kai's first saddle off. She reckons they don't rub and are excellent at holding saddles in place. Fingers crossed!
