I need a bit of help, HHO.

Horse needs a new short dressage girth as current one (Thorowgood Airoform, about 4 years old) has split. I have no idea where to start looking.
Horse himself has a normal girth groove but very short coupled. Also gets pretty hot under the girth when working.

So, synthetic or leather? Which make/model?
Budget under £100, and he doesn't need any dead sheep

Thank you!

I'd in general always go leather.
Keep an eye on ebay as you might be able to pick up a top make secondhand under that budget.
The ideals are lovely, as are passier.
Alternative option are the heritage copies, they are good quality for the money.

I quite like the neoprene girths from the likes of Kieffer, Schockemohle...my mare is very sensitive and found leather could rub her, sheepskin made her too hot (allergic to sweat). She seems very comfortable in the soft neoprene girths.
