Prolite girths; are they worth it?

[sbloom]

I'm looking at the LeMieux Gel Tek Anatomic Curve for a monoflap jumping saddle - any experience or thoughts? I was able to view in it a local saddlery (didnt have my colour or size though) and it was incredibly soft which was lovely!

Also not a fan of the Prolites!

Apologies no, not one I'm aware of.

I really like my Prolite I've never had a problem with, including long & sweaty rides & pony definitely seemed to prefer it.

I've got one available if you want it? Nothing wrong with it, perfectly fine on the (now-retired) horse, but not any better than other types of ergonomic girths, IMO.

What do you have available and in what size?

I’m just thinking about getting a GP one? Though there’s no way to attach a breastplate?

I don't use breast plates do you need a clip or something then?

Email flexigirth the guy there is so helpful they may customise one for you.

Thank you very much for the offer! I'll send you a message and see what size etc ?

Dave goes well in his. I have both standard & narrow gauge, but the narrow definitely works better for him.

Yes if you have a horse with a forward girth groove. Note that most horses need the narrow gauge, not the standard: the narrow should really be called standard, and the standard called wide. Very helpful top from the saddlery I got mine from.
The edges can be hard so I'd recommend using a girth sleeve. The Shires Supafleece sleeve will fit even though it's a straight sleeve

Ah thanks too small.
