Super shoppers: I need girth, stirrups and leathers

[ahlam1399]

Despite the brilliant responses to an earlier thread http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?755698-When-did-you-upgrade-to-a-dressage-saddle which then got picked up by the main website and I got this brilliant answer from Coral Keen http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/features/do-i-need-a-dressage-saddle-641747 I appear to have bought a dressage saddle yesterday. We have just stepped up to Elementary and both my trainer and a Inter 2 rider/high level list just/v experienced trainer have said I am probably at 'that' point. I now (on a rather limited budget) need to buy a girth, stirrups and leathers but I want to buy decent stuff so I'm only buying once. (I need a second set as I am keeping my GP and it will get used by my sharer so I don't want her having to change things over. Stirrups - I currently have just regular irons but is it worth buying the flexi irons? I've seen some on fleabay for less than £20 but I'm worried they'll fail on me. Leathers - I have john whitaker cored leathers so may go for the same but I'm open to suggestionsGirth - I have no idea where to start on the hunt for a dressage girth! I am currently in the girth off my lunge roller, far from ideal. I can't spend £200 on any of these posh girths though, I need something under £50! Any suggestions gratefully received!
