One of the most important pieces of Western horse tack is the cinch, also sometimes called the Western girth or Western saddle girth. Whichever name you use, it provides the same service, to keep your saddle on your horse. The cinch works by passing under the barrel of the horse and attaching to each side of the saddle. Western cinches come in a variety of styles that include back cinches, flank cinches, roper cinches, or rear cinches. A cinch strap for a saddle is a piece of tack that can last for years but should be examined for wear every time you tack up. Our mohair string roper style cinch is naturally elastic cinch with center D-rings, making this cinch strong, comfortable, and durable. VARIOUS SIZE AND STYLE – Best used on horses measuring between 14 – 15HH, this light tan piece works by passing under the barrel of the horse attaching on each saddle side. STRAIGHT STYLE – Designed to include center D-rings reinforced with web overlay to attach training items or breast-collars. ALPACA DURABILITY – 27 strand natural alpaca fiber is very strong, comfortable and durable, great for sensitive skinned horses commonly irritated by leather, neoprene, or synthetic fibers. IT’S A CINCH – Ensure saddle placement while also helping to disperse heat build-up and prevent chafing. WEAR WITH COMFORT – Two center D-rings are there to attach training aids or breast-collars.
