Non elasticated girth that won't rub

[BMA2]

Anyone got any recommendations...

Must be a long girth to use with a gp/jump saddle.

Must be non elasticated

Saddle sits nicely with a prolite girth (non leather) but still occasionally rubs

Saddle fits. Girth not too tight/loose etc

I can/do use a sheepskin but it's a proper sheepskin sleeve and takes a long time to dry and just wondered if there is anything better/easier

Stubben cord.

Shires Arma anatomical anti-chafe girth. They do an elastic and non elastic version.

Never had a rub and the Prolite & Stubben string girth both did, along with many others!

I love it as you can just sponge it off.

I liked the shaped version but it was elastic. I didn't realise that they did a none elastic. Will have a look

Stubben cord. Had no trouble at all.

The other one I recommend to customers, but for the way I fit it's the elasticated version, has a ring for a martingale, the Harry Dabbs waffle ergonomic. It's a gentle W shape which is much kinder and more effective imo than the Prolite shape, for many horses.

I've had a quick look and it looks like the thorowgood girth which was the first girth I used and it rubbed? Is it much different?

*I've never had a girth rub on any other horse EVER but this blooming horse is a pain in the butt

Stubben cord.

Can't beat them for any shape of horse. Comfortable, easily washed and last forever.

I have to use a martingale for hacking and jumping otherwise I'd be all over it

It's a better shape which may, or may not, help, and as an aside its better designed on the ends. There's a leather version, and you can get all sorts of gentle W shapes in more expensive leather girth.
