This weekend I've tried on 5 different makes of BP and they are all too long in the back (I'm only 5' tall), but I need an adults large size due to being quite busty (sigh!)

At the moment I have an ancient Tipperary BP, but it really needs replacing, and as my new horse is young and inexperienced, I though I'd better get a new one pretty sharpish ;)

Any recommendations would be great.

Thanks :)
 
I have an Aeroware Outlyne, and find it really comfy. I am short in the body (although 5ft 6 tall) and busty - Aeroware seem to do so many lengths and circumferences that they seem to fit most people and are especially good for the curvy amongst us!
 
I have an old airowear one which has always been good. However, I am probably going to in invest in a Kanteq this year as I like the fit of them and they seem to be a bit more lightweight.
 
Outlyne for me. I'm 5'0 & fairly busty. Have got the version that is shaped for bust in short length & got no problems with it catching saddle at back
 
Aerowear Outlyne. I'm 5 ft 2 and I find it really comfortable. Hardly notice I'm wearing it. They do a short version and you can adjust at the sides so will fit most shapes I would think.
 
I was also going to suggest racesafe. They do a short back version, but also offer a "made to measure" service where for a little bit extra they can shape the back to the length you need it to be. I found Treehouse so helpful when I ordered mine x
 
Racesafe here too :) Used to have a Champion Cobra which was too long, went to Treehouse to be measured for my Racesafe and really pleased with it.
