Good Lord, thought my chap was big. What breed is that for?
Presuming it is a horse, I would say the only way you could get one that size is to go to a qualified saddler who will make a leather one for you. Whilst you are waiting for it to be made, you could enlist in some extreme yoga classes for you are going to have to be extraordinarily flexible.

They do a 60" girth on equestrian clearance and a girth extension would take it to 64" if you don't mind me asking what do you have? Thats huge!!!

Presumably for a heavy horse? We had a Shire x for a few years, and she had a 60" girth. It was always amusing to see her tack sitting alongside Cerys's little 34" Shetland's tack (cub saddle with 8" girth) ;D
If you're after a leather girth then, as S&O suggested, a saddler should be able to help. If you want a webbing girth, try Lynda's Horsewear on ebay (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Lyndas-Horsewear). They made Bridget's 8" girth for me, as I couldn't find one smaller than 12" as standard.

Lol! We have girth extenders on a 58 that helps by 4 inch but that's on the last hole so 64 would be better! She's an Irish Draught 17.3hh she's only just matured now at 8.

There is currently a 62" one on ebay at £15, think its leather, but I did'nt take a lot of notice as its well below my radar at that length!

Wow - I'm starting a brand for larger saddles and had intended to have girths in stock up to 60" but I clearly need to rethink!

It was made by affinity and its shaped to stop sliping - it is ace! Mine is actually a 58" but the one I borrowed from the the saddler while it was made was 64".

I'll find out where the saddler got it from - they supplied me with an Ideal saddle so could be linked to them?
