How to decide
When looking at dressage girths you should firstly consider your budget. Currently good quality performance girths are typically priced from £180 upwards. The Saddle Bank Dressage girth priced is one of the best quality performance girths available on the market. When out fitting saddles with our clients we offer them to try the girth and watch how their horses performance improves. Horses are able to stretch out and move more freely from the comfort provided by this super soft girth. However, if you are on a tight budget the Wintec Chafless Girth is a great entry level girth.
You should also decide whether you want a girth that is elasticated (look for girths that are elasticated both ends), or one without elastic? We never recommend a girth with elastic only one side as this can cause your saddle to slip or put uneven pressure on your horses back.
