I have a dressage saddle that needs a girth with three buckles. I have one, but it is way to big. My saddle is a County, if that helps any. Does anyone know where I can find a girth that will accomodate my three straps? I feel like I have looked everywhere!

Is the third buckle for the overgirth strap coming off the flap of your saddle? If that's the case, you can simply cut the strap off, overgirths on dressage saddles are very old school, and very useless. Your leg keeps the flap down, you don't need a strap.
If you have some sort of attachment to your overgirth, trying talking to your local tack shop about special ordering one, or try to someone who is capable/willing to add a buckle to a regular girth you find.

Are you talking about a dressage saddle that has three billets compared to two. My trainer has a girth that has three buckles on it, I know she got it from our local tack shop. You can look them up on the web, its called The Riding Shop, I'm not sure if they do ship but I have a feeling that they do.

I needed a three buckle girth also, and I got the "Crump 3-Buckle Dressage Girth" from VTO Saddlery. Hope this helps!

Oh, and
this was the link the site gave me. But if you go to VTO's website and search for "Crump", you'll see it down at the bottom.
