The Ovation Contour girth has really worked for us. http://www.horse.com/item/ovation-gel-body-dressage-girth/E002380/ <br /><br />Pretty good price at horse.com.<br /><br />Cathi will be teaching at Two's A Team on Aug. 7 and 21 if you feel like stopping by.<br /><br />Have a good day.<br /><br />KarlaKarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13901243593562739256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1966011253508211409.post-11990547007324457802011-08-01T19:43:31.229-07:002011-08-01T19:43:31.229-07:00We use either a leather rolled girth or a Professi...We use either a leather rolled girth or a Professional Choice western style girth. Neither has ever rubbed. I am a nut about new girths- I change mine every yearalong with the billets( for Western saddles). The string girths never get really clean, even when you wash them, and I feel they tend to hold any fungus or dirt.Vaquerogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14367676563270560606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1966011253508211409.post-11514598641547544562011-08-01T18:16:27.951-07:002011-08-01T18:16:27.951-07:00I tried a stretchy heavy-duty elastic dressage gir...I tried a stretchy heavy-duty elastic dressage girth that chaffed on about the third use. I encased it in a fleece cover and it chaffed on the second use. :-(<br /><br />The plain string girth is the most affordable and least chaffing girth I've found thus far. It is fine 98% of the time. It's the other 2% that's frustrating.<br /><br />Thanks for the link; however, the Dover sheepskin cover is waaaay too expensive and it appears to be too thick based on the picture. Phantom seems to have a close elbow that doesn't leave room for cushy fleece. His loss, since I'd splurge tax refund money on the Dover sheepskin cover if I thought it would work.<br /><br />I do appreciate your thoughts!Oregon Equestrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10074291602447053774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1966011253508211409.post-69543398790304874262011-08-01T10:57:03.888-07:002011-08-01T10:57:03.888-07:00http://www.doversaddlery.com/product.asp?pn=X1-021...http://www.doversaddlery.com/product.asp?pn=X1-02100<br /><br />girth cover - dont leave home without it ;D!<br /><br />I have the same issue and found that a girth cover cuts down on the chafing bigtime - might be an investment, but its one of those necessities for the summer!Janice Grinyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14363741660626407979noreply@blogger.com
