Brown tack in dressage part II: Whither the brown girths?

Brown girths aren't all that easy to find. It's a pain to search for them, because many companies don't include the girth color in the descriptive text -- it's either assumed to be black or the option for brown only appears in the dropdown menu when you order -- which means it isn't searchable. Harrumph!

Here is what I found looking through online tack stores. Bear in mind that girth manufacturers may make a brown girth that tack stores don't  stock.

Note: I'm told that the emergence of monoflap saddles in other disciplines have made brown girths easier to find, but I didn't specifically search for non-dressage girths.

For the budget shopper (under $50)
On the low end we have the plain Wintec elastic dressage girth from Horseloverz for around $40 (also available at Crazy Horse Tack and  Carousel Horse Tack). Libertyville Saddle Shop has the Regent-Lonsdale girth currently on sale for under $30, and the Jeremy and Lord Two Buckle Elastic End girth for $40.

In the middle range (roughly $51-$100)
In the midrange, the Nunn Finer Passage girth from Bit of Britain is my pick for an attractive, reasonably priced (around $100) brown girth. Dover has a Double Elastic Dressage Girth for under $100 but I don't find it very appealing. Adams Horse Supply sells the Toklat Coolback dressage girth in a variety of colors, including brown, for under $100. Libertyville Saddle Shop has the Equibette girth for about $90. The Show Barn LLC has a Toklat dressage girth (brown with white fleece) for $85. Horseloverz has the M. Toulouse monoflap dressage girth for about $100. The Ebay store Wholesale Equestrian Outlet has the contoured Delfina girth for about $90. Thorowgood makes a synthetic dressage girth in brown. It's popular in the UK but hard to find in the U.S. -- try Ebay.   The Barnstable leather girth with double elastic is about $100 from Harmony Farms Saddle Shop. 


 High end girths (over $100)
At the high end, there is an Amerigo girth, available from Smartpak and other stores. Dressage Extensions has an Otto Schumacher girth for $210 and a County Logic girth for $220. Bit of Britain sells a Mattes shaped girth in brown and sand for $220. For about $180 Dressage Extensions sells the Karl Neidersuss straight girth  and a Karl Neidersuss contoured girth. VTO Saddlery sells a Prestige Contour girth for $150, but the color is tobacco (fairly light). The Thinline stabilizer girth comes in several shades of brown and runs about $170, while Laser makes a dressage girth in brown for $160. Horseloverz has the elastic Wintec girth with CAIR in brown for about $150.
