*huge!

Hello,

I have a shire x trakehner who i have brought as a project, however i really need HELP i need a girth 67 inches (at least) in length but cannot find one anywhere!! Any ideas where i can get one?

Ask a saddler to make one, failing that, the longest you can find and a girth extender.

You can use stirrup leathers as girth strap extenders.

Hi

thanks for the relpie i have spoke to a saddle fitter and he mentioned the extending strap, however seeing she is new to the equipment i am concerned that the buckles would irritate her and make her nervous of putting on her saddle and girth.

Any stockist?

The longest girth that I have found, off the peg, is a 60". That size fits my Shires, and they are not exactly slim.

This on to the longest you can get

A 5'7" girth. Jees, Thats longer than I am tall :O, how bigs your horse?!

Another option is having your girth straps replaced for dressage style ones, that way you wont need such a long girth.

Good heavens that horse must be enormous!

My barrel of a Draft horse who weighs well over 800kgs only needs a 60" girth - which is a good job as that is the largest I've seen. I've had 2 ShirexClydes whose girths were shorter than that.

I think Harley Equestrian make girths to order!

Maybe the saddle has short girth leathers? Lol..

I gawk at the thought of 67.. I have a 62 inch girth my WB used in his porkier times.. It's totally redundant now..

Good luck! Have you photos of the horse?? I'm interested in seeing him/her
