Short girths with clips recommendations

[awelshandawarmblood]

I currently ride in a mono jump saddle with a lovely fairfax Dressage girth (a nice free bonus I inherited from an old saddle purchase!), but due to some extra enthusiasm at the moment, I'm needing a martingale.

He loves the girth he's in but doesn't like the feeling of the martingale hooped around it underneath, so I'm looking for a short girth with a clip attachment underneath.

I really like the look of the Le mieux gel tek BUT my lads super deep in the chest & they sadly don't go up to a 32

Any others out there anyone can recommend that are similar, which come in mammoth size that are leather/padded? Not wanting to remortgage either

Thanks!!

Wow do a few different designs of girth and they have either clips or fastenings for martingales. They'll do a 32 too.

The leather ones are a lot of money but they also do synthetic ones that are more reasonably priced. I've got a synthetic one and I'm happy with the quality and feel of it.

I'm not sure if they do one in the shape that you're after but maybe worth a look to see?

Just a thought, but could you get your saddler to add a D-ring or clip attachment to your current girth, so that you could attach your martingale to it, rather than pass the girth through the martingale loop?

There is a version of the Fairfax with a detachable loop for a martingale/breastplate, think it is called Event girth. It definitely goes up to 32ins, same as the dressage but of course is spendy.

Thank you all! I'll go and have a look at them I didn't realise his size was off the chart with how deep in the chest he is until I started looking I'll also see if any saddlers could modify my current one - hadn't even crossed my mind.

This was my thought when I read your post OP
