Girth Recommendations please (not Prolite)

[Spangles]

Currntly using a Prolite girth but it seems very stiff now and a bit 'worn'. Looking for a comfort girth with room for elbows (like the Prolite).
To suit Fairfax monoflap jump saddle and Fairfax Dresage saddle.
Thank you

You can put a fluffy cover on the Prolite. Shires Supafleece girth sleeve will go over it .

There are SO many options, we have another thread running on girths right now on here, but for long girths. I would work out your horse's girth groove placement, belly shape etc, then have a look at e-a-mattes.com and their girth-horse shape advice. They have lovely girths but it will give you more of an idea about whether you need a crescent shape like the Prolite or something else. I think there are, for many horses, much better choices than the Prolite.

At the time Prolite was the only non elasticated anatomical girth I could find.

No blame at all, they suit some, but they were marketed as a panacea, and they're absolutely not. In fact some horses really shouldn't have that shape of girth, including some with the forward girth groove they're raved about for.
