Hi I need some help in finding out the girth of these heavyweights. And I dont know any heafties personally I've just started selling treeless saddles and someone wants to do a trial with there pure shire after Xmas, but I dont think I have a dressage girth big enough 32'' If you ride in a dressage / treeless what size girth do you use? How big is you horses girth? Thankyou to all and merry Xmas Jill

Flynn is a Irish draft and takes a 32 dressage girth if that helps you.. he was in a what I thought was a 52 inch GP girth which fitted my TB deep girthed hurdler bred. But I since found out it is 54 buckle to buckle but it was still 32 dressage.
I used that when I borrowed a treeless to trial. Hope that helps.

I had to get a dressage girth made-to-measure for TC when we trialled a treeless, he needed 43" (although would be smaller now as he has lost lots of weight!!)
