I've been looking into (finally) purchasing a Stubben Juventus D dressage saddle, which I believe has the typical long billets. My question for ya'll is, how do I know what size dressage girth to get? I've tried googleing, but have found no direct answers. If it helps, my horse currently rides in a size 50 girth on a regular all purpose saddle. If you need more information to work with, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
I'm posting this twice, just to get different opinions from the different sections, so more people have a chance to see it

Subtract 20" from your long girth. If you normally use a 50" girth, you'd need a 30" girth for long billets (about 76cm if your ordering from a european tack store).

That does seem fairly long. Did you have a loop on your measuring string? in case you have a comfortable horse and a helper, you're able to additionally choose for to take the size with somebody sitting interior the saddle, using fact the rider's weight will push the saddle down greater. If the size is nice and you will't come across a girth that vast, you ought to purchase a fifty 4" and a girth extender.

Put your saddle on your horse where it is supposed to be, with whatever pads you are going to be using.
You need another person for this part. Use a tape measure (the fabric kind for sewing) Have the other person hold the measuring tape against the bottom of the billet on their side. Run the tape under the horse's belly, and up to the billets on your side, kinda snug. Now, subtract 6 inches.
Should be a perfect fit.
