Which Dressage girth?

[atlantis]

So I've just got a new dressage saddle. I ride a very sensitive ex racer so I'm looking for a girth that doesn't dig in and is padded and comfy for him. Maybe a nice wide contiured one? However my budget isn't huge (as little as possible).

Any ideas?

Excellent value for money, wears well, easy to wash and quick to dry. Have had no rubs at all since I started using it. I love them!

I use a Flexi girth on my pony but having seen a friend's Professional's Choice girth I'm now hankering after one...

I've just bought one of these (dream team W girth) for my arab as she has a straight girth groove but needed the girth shaped around her elbows. She also has fine skin and rubs easily.

My mare is quite sensitive and rubs easily. I got a really lovely shaped leather girth - looked beautiful - rubbed her like anything. I always stick to the Thorowgood / Wintec / HKM cheapy ones now - the synthetic ones. They are so easy to keep - the Thorowgood one I had, well it cost me less than £20 brand new, and lasted about 4-5 years of daily use.

Thanks for all your replies. I've been looking at a few different ones online. The girth he has on his gp at the moment is a wintec one and it doesn't rub so its probably a good place to start.

I really like the look of the shaped ones but I don't think I'll go far wrong with a thoroughgood or wintec one initially.

Thanks guys

My thorowgood dressage girth is shaped, suits my sensitive tb perfectly

Ooh ok so I don't want to buy the wrong size. Saddle is a isabell werth and he's a 15.3 thoroughbred. Any ideas?
