It seems my pony who is out on loan still cant stop causing me issues from 150 miles away 😂

When I had him he had two saddles, a conventional show saddle with an anatomical girth and a monoflap jumping saddle

He was sent on loan with the jumping saddle as his new people thought showing was akin to watching paint dry (TBH they aren't wrong!)

However he could do with an anatomical girth for that jumping saddle, can I find one? can I hell!

I'm looking for... brown, 22 inch (no bigger) and a 'stepped' style anatomic shape with a proper kink in it but failing that a crescent shape would be ok... but it must be elasticated in some way

I did buy a 24 inch Prolite at great expense (it came up small so sizing was ok) but the pony hated it with such a vengeance he started dumping his rider in hedges and ditches so we had to switch to a basic short elasticated dressage girth but its a bit straight and the saddle fitter is asking if we can find a shaped one.

Before you say its the loaners responsibility she is trying as hard as me to find a solution, I still take a great interest in my pony's comfort and like to ensure he has what he needs even if not with me anymore
 
Slightly "out of the box" but I had a short backed round pony and I bought a second hand anatomic leather girth from a friend, and had the (excellent) local saddler shorten it for me so it fitted him. It worked a treat. So maybe worth thinking about shortening an existing girth?
 
I must be missing something but a quick eBay search brought up some short girths (described as dressage but you say it’s a monoflap saddle). A couple of examples below:

EBay has some Ideal Affinity girths at very good value in 20 and 22 inch. Exactly what you are after.
