Lunging roller for big horse?

[chestnut cob]

I bought a lunging roller today from Robinsons, just their Requisite Neoprene one, and it's too small for my big horse

There is no way I can get the straps anywhere near done up.

Any suggestions for rollers that will fit big horses?

My boy is 17hh IDxTB. He's pretty fit ATM so he isn't really likely to lose any and eventually fit into the roller I bought today. What do you guys with big horses use?

Thanks

can't you just put a longer girth on the roller?
my roller has straps on either side so i just attach a different length girth to fit different horses.

I was going to suggest this. I have the opposite problem as my roller is too big - I just use my 22" dressage girth instead of the webbing girth it came with.

The Mark Todd one fits our clydesdale mare - she is not huge at 16.2 but is fairly chunky and has a 56" girth. Alternatively you could buy a girth extender for the one you have.

Do you know, that idea hadn't even occurred to me LOL!! Excellent tip and I shall be trying that out tomorrow!! Thanks

I could probably make it fit with his dressage girth I think
