Need to get my lad a new girth - so question in the title really. Of those two girths which is the best - for a hairy horse who is oddly VERY sensitive about all sorts of things!
The stubbens are very soft but also pretty wide, too wide for the girth groove on mine.
54 inch too big for us, but thank youI've got a string girth I no longer use, I think it is Stubben. Not sure of the size but my horse always took around 54" if that's any good to you?
Isn't that the point - the individual strings can move inwards unlike a leather or fabric girth?
I had to go and google what a lampwick girth was 😱 appears Fylde saddlery make them if you are interested - not sure what the point of them is, they look like they would get minging quite quickly.
If you are wanting that kind of style, ie soft, thin and floppy, then WOW make a really good leather equivalent
Otherwise just stick to the Stubben.
Alternatively I haven’t found a horse yet that objects to the pro choice girths and I’ve used them on a couple of v v sensitive ones.
