Girths and Irish draughts

[Cluelessblonde]

Hi all,

I had my mare in a shires elastic girth both sides but physio mentioned might want to change it to something non elastic exposed

So I'm torn between string girth stubben or a prolite girth. I'm completely torn. I honestly don't mind the price difference.

I have an ID, after a disastrous experience with a fully elasticated girth that was probably a bit big anyway and stretched perhaps more than I anticipated. I went for the Stubben string girth because she is really sensitive in that area and I'd had a mare before that had scarring from surgery or injury in the girth area and that is what the vet recommended for her so I figured it couldn't hurt. She's been out of work a while now, might need a bigger one , but I bought her a 56 inch one and I think it did the job.
Never used a Prolite girth so unfortunately can't give a view on that one

Highly recommend stubben string girths I use them on my IDs for all discipline s

I use the Stubben string girth too, brilliant, happy horse, and so quick to wash and dry.
