Girth question!

[LouiseG]

Not a fan of elastic girths... however, my boy blows his tummy out so much when I do up his girth that the only way I can do it up is with a girth with elastic on the ends. I have a fairly cheap one just now and the elastic is really stretchy so I want to invest in a really good quality one, does anyone have any recommendations?

dressage or normal? I have a really nice Dever for sale brand new, the Amerigo or Albion are really lovely leather with elastic ends

have you looked at Amerigo? they have some gorgous girths!

Should have said, it's a normal girth I'm looking for. Will have a look at those brands! Thanks very much

The important issue is that the elastic part should be on the off side of the saddle, so when you do up your girth, you are not constantly pulling on it, it makes the elastic last longer.

elastic both ends is even better for pressure.
