girth recommendation please....

I currently use a thorowgood elastic one end girth but ive heard these arent good for the saddle as it causes slipping (altho Ive not found this yet).

I use the aerborn humane girth, so far so good!

I really like (and so does my horse) the wintec ones that are elasticated all the way through. Even pressure throughout

^ I use one of the Wintec girths with the elastic running all the way through too, they're great as they stretch with the horse. They also don't rub sensitive skin and are very easy to clean off after use. I've also heard endless good things about the professionals choice girth, it's on my xmas wishlist!

Ive just ordered one of these from Equestrian Clearance.

Ive just googled the professionals choice girth. Lovely but too expensive for me.

Any views on the wintec cair girths? I've been offered an almost new one in good condition for £25... Do I bite their hand off?

You won't regret it. As already said, they don't rub, or cause saddle slipping or aything.... I was sceptical at first but I really love it. I know my horse does too as he made it very clear to me that he didn't like the other options I tried

Also have a thorrowgood one, I like it and most importantly mare does too! Slippage is only an issue is the girth is elasticated on one side, both or neither is fine. Though, if you have a tricky to fit type then you might find you get on well with a non elasticated one.
Not a fan of the pro choice ones or any other 'grippy' types.

I use a flexi girth and its brilliant. I have a treeless saddle that used to slip but since getting one of these I can even mount from the ground without slippage.

I have just got the Stubben cord girth, for my girl. After reading very good reports about them here on another thread. Have to say I love it, really soft and washes up a treat.
