I recently got a lovely horse named Stella. She is pretty fast, so we do a lot of trotting circles. She dislikes her current girth, so I want to buy her a new one. Do you have any recommendations? Just to let you know, it needs to be compatible with a general-purpose or jumping saddle. I live in NZ, so ideally, the shipping cost should be under $20 unless it's the best possible girth.

Attached is a photo showing where her girth goes. Please ignore the untidy hair in the picture, it was taken after a hack. It has to go with a gp/jumping saddle. I also live in NZ, so the shipping has to be under $20. (Unless it is the best possible girth)

This is my current favourite girth, it has elastic at both ends and soft padding in the middle. All of my horses are happy in this


Another one they've liked is this. Again elastic both ends and a load of fleece at all contact points. I generally hate synthetic fleece but horses clearly said they like this. I wonder whether the shape of this one would help you.

Another option to would be a good quality wool or sheepskin girth sleeve, which I'd imagine would be easy to source in NZ.

I couldn't see the postage on these sites but be aware that they should be removing the VAT from the price, which will be a bit less than 20%.
