A properly fitting cinch can really make a difference in your horses' attitude
Why Mohair?
Mohair is a 'natural fiber' that is strong, soft, durable, and breathable,
which is perfect for sensitive horses.
It keeps the horse cooler and dry
Moisture wicking properties actually absorb up to 3x its weight in water
Light weight and comfortable
No soring, or galling, much the same effect as the wool saddle pad
Have a bit of stretch which helps with those cinchy horses so they are not strapped in too tight
{We use only mohair on young horses so they dont ever learn to be cinchy}
Mohair also keeps a firm grip on the horse and helps to stop the saddle movement.
Horses love the smell of Mohair, it is actually very calming to them
They are easy to look after and clean, no special soap, just plain water!
So why not treat your best friend with a bit of comfort?
Cleaning is very simple:
Use a SOFT brush to brush out the dirt
do not try to brush out the horse hair as that fills inbetween the cords
it makes the cinch even feel nicer to your horse.
You can rinse out your cinch in a bucket of water
to remove dirt and salt build up that you feel can not be brushed out.
There is no real need to use soap, a rinse will be suffiecent
Lay flat to dry naturally.
You may notice a bit of shrinkage, but will return to normal when you us
These are most of the colors available in both 2 and 8 ply
I do carry most of them in stock

Know your saddle to get a proper cinch width
Most saddles are 3/4 or 7/8
and usually take a 17 or 19 strand cinch
full rigging will take 15 or maybe a 17
center fire can take 19 ,21, or 23
the further ahead your rigging the less room you have for your cinch!
What is the needed Length?
There are various different views to determining the proper length of your cinch
Everyone seems to have a different opinion of this matter
As with everything...no 2 horses have the same body shape, just the same as people, so it is hard to look at a chart and say that the chart recommends this size for a horse that is this tall...THAT DOES NOT WORK!
No differnent than people..one size does not fit all!
If the cinch you are currently using is working well, stay with that length!
BUT......
There are a few things that will tell if you are using the incorrect length!
We usually all seem to use a cinch that is too long, because we fell into the trap that said if your horse is 15hh or 14 hh, he needs this length, without taking into condieration the body shape!
SO......
Here is a list of questions to ask yourself before changing the length of your cinch
1. Does your saddle move front to back when you are riding?
2. Does your saddle roll from side to side?
3. Are you constantly shifting or pulling your saddle back into place when you are out on the trail?
4. Are constantly re-tighting your cinch?
5.Does your saddle roll or move when you go to mount?
6.When you unsaddle your horse, do you notice any swelling, even it only lasts for a few minutes?
7.Does your horse get cranky when you go to cinch up?
These could all be signs of a cinch that is not the proper size!
I was one of those people that used to ride on too long of a cinch...now that i have shortened it up, all those questions above have been answered and i have a much nore enjoyable ride.
Also...you will be more balanced in your saddle when it stays in one place, you will be amazed with the difference in ride and the attitude of your horse
Most horses from 14 to 15hh usally take 28 to 32 inch cinch, some may even need smaller depending on the body type.
If the cinch you are currently using is working...don't change!
The length of your cinch should include the buckles, so measure from tip to tip
If you need more help, I can help you measure!
