Girth recommendations - difficult criteria it would seem....

[Liane]

I urgently need a new dressage girth for my horse, I have been scouring the websites yesterday without having much luck, I need at least 30", brown and it has to be the shaped/cut away type as the straight ones are rubbing him. I would like something reasonably priced but I am struggling to find anything suitable.

I was trying to contact equiporium to see how long they would take to deliver as they have some shaped leather girths but I cannot get hold of them by phone or email.

Any other suggestions greatly received!

Leather or synthetic?

 

[Liane]

ideally leather, synthetic seems to rub/irritate him (he is a sensitive sausage!)

Have you tried Townfield? They do lovely leather girths but not sure if thry do shaped ones

 

[Wheels]

what about a mattes sheepskin one if he is sensitive? they do a few different shaped ones

I love the LeMieux sheepskin covers for dressage girths as they are quite discrete. Horse health do some nice ones.

My big lad has a wintec synthetic - shaped. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/2518...ICEP3.0.0-L&ff14=122&viphx=1&ops=true&ff13=80 Come on 30" or 34"

You could put one of these on - they are very smart. http://www.lemieuxproducts.com/lemieux/accessories/girth-covers

Or even a neoprene girth?

I recently bought the rhinegold softee girth, with some trepidation! But I like it much better than my more expensive kentaur girth, and it really is soft!

Might be a bit more money than you were wanting to spend but the Stubben Equi-soft girths are amazing

I throughly rate my Northumbria equine one, it's like air filled leather. Hard to explain

Bit pricey but what about prestige RP pressure girths - suit my pink skinned sensitive mare right out
