That looks great for learning. Just make sure that it fits your horse properly before you start using it. You can use any kind of english girth, just not a dressage because they tend to be too small.

This is a nice working girth:

i tell you what you dont need a cutback pad just get you a regular cheap navo pad or anything you know you dont have to even have one... and for the girth you want to show in a white girth make sure you have like the english girths have the strechy things cause if you use the web girth it will evently break your bellets and you can train in any kinda girths you want the thing im taking about is

strechy

okay cool, thanks all =D

YAY! thats exciting! I would buy the pad because, its hard to find a saddle that fits PERFECTLY so a pad (even when showing) can help reduce any little pressure that the saddle may cause...and the cutback one can be used when showing

ALSO, about the girths, why do the white webbed girths damage your saddle? I had never heard that....but i school in a non stretchy girth, could that damage my billets?

[cowboycrazy]

the white web girths have no give on your bellets when the white web girth with the strechy material on the end have give and is less likely to break them i had a white web girth and i just bought a new cutback last year and ive all ready had to replace the bellets because the web girth broke them , they were really really thin and you know i didnt think anything of it and my trainer took my saddle and gave me hers for a week to get mine fixed she said that i wasnt riding in my saddle again till she got it fixed

Ohhh...i see..maybe ill start working chi in the nylon with stretch...

I like leather girths with elastic and also neoprene girths for training.
