Been looking at getting a new girth for my horse since i had him.
He blows himself out when you go to do his girth up, he doesnt get funny about having it done up....he just likes it done up in stages!
I have been riding him first in a requisite elastic both ends girth, which came with him, the girth was actually ok, but it was way too long for him, it was done up on the top hole and still loose.
I then changed to riding in my old ponys cottage craft webbing girth. That again was ok, but i need something with roller buckles as now have new saddle and as the leather is a bit stiff without having roller buckles its ruining the girth straps.
Have been riding in a throwgood girth that i have borrowed. Have to say....i hate it and think the horse does too. I hate the fact that it has elastic oneside as it pulls the saddle about. Also i find it makes him mega sweaty and sticky. I havent tried the wintec girth as it looks like similar material.
SO..........after looking at tonnes of girths, i am stuck trying to decide between the aerbourn waffle atherstone girth with elastic at both ends. It looks very comfy and have read good things about it.
A cottage craft girth a good old fashioned webbing one. (but with roller buckled to move it into the 21st century.
OR.....the girth i am really interested in but wonder if they are worth the money the Professionals choice english girth with the neoprene backing and elastic both ends.
We are not going to be competing just local shows, a few pleasure rides and some indoor showjumping.
Would really appreciate your thoughts as really need to force myself to make a decision!!!!!
