girth reccomendation please

Im looking for a comfortable foreward curved dressage girth for my lad who is very sensative around the girth area, anyone ??

It isn't forward cut, but both our 'normal' mare and one with a very forward girth groove are lovely and comfy in it (they would def let us know lol!) http://www.tds-saddlers.com/productdetails.asp?PCLinkID=13348
Worth going down a size on as although the buckle to buckle length is accurate, the extra leather on either end makes the girth a good bit longer.

Passier do a beautiful forward curved girth, http://www.dressagedeluxe.co.uk/Shop.asp?viewmode=vp&pid=814

If pennies are no problem go for the Wow one.
They're not sold in tack shops - you have to buy them from First Thought and it will take about a fortnight for
delivery. BUT well worth the wait as lovely and soft!

I have a normal girth but I know there is a dressage girth version: Professionals Choice Neoprene girth. Pricey but have made me horse so comfortable. h

I had wide string STubben which was good, but he still hated the girth being tightened. With this, for the first time his ears stay forward and he looks relaxed.

I tried just about every girth going and have a fab collection now. Second a vote for the Professional Choice and won't use anything else now.

his girthing area is quite far back so has to be foreward curved

A few I have know that do dressage rode in thorowgood airform girth's!
I have the *normal* one, I really love it. My boy does get itchy or rubbed etc.
Mines has elastic ends and has been used on *sensitive highland* (not my boy) who took to it very well!

If you have issues with enough elbow room with your girths avoid the thorowgood airbourne one as it has made me miss a season of dressage due to girth galls from this girth. We ended up using a caldene full length curved girth (http://www.caldene.co.uk/Girths/overlay-girth.aspx) on the dressage saddle. Unfortunately when I changed my saddle that girth no longer suited my new saddle so I purchased a contour dressage girth which has resulted in further girth galls. My saddler has since been unable to locate a dressage version of the caldene girth.

I have just been on e-bay and fingers crossed the girth that I have purchased will work. It is an FSS German forward cut dressage girth if you want to have a look.

It's the one called a short event girth. It works well on the two I have used it on!

Um, is it poss to give website/details of where to purchase please??? I'd need a normal length girth not a dressage one. Sorry sorry, didn't mean to hijack thread.

The jaguar girths are really good. In leather if you want a posh one or do a synthetic one which I have for my boy and love it
