Sizing & Fit Information
This flank cinch is designed to fit most standard western saddles. Proper installation requires billet straps (sold separately) that attach to the rear rigging rings on your saddle. The cinch should be snug enough to prevent saddle movement but not so tight as to restrict your horse's breathing or movement. Always check the fit before and during your ride to ensure proper adjustment.
Care Instructions
To maintain the quality and appearance of your tooled leather flank cinch, wipe clean with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt, sweat, and debris. Apply quality leather conditioner or oil regularly to keep the leather supple and prevent cracking. The natural leather will darken beautifully with oil treatment, allowing you to achieve your desired color depth. Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and hang properly to maintain shape.
Ideal Use Cases
Essential for western riding disciplines including roping, barrel racing, cutting, reining, and ranch work where quick movements and sudden stops require maximum saddle stability. Also recommended for trail riding, especially on steep or uneven terrain where saddle shifting can be a concern. The professional tooled appearance makes this flank cinch suitable for both competition and everyday riding.
Installation & Setup
This rear cinch attaches to the back rigging rings of your western saddle using billet straps (not included). For enhanced security, a connecting strap can be used to link the flank cinch to your front cinch, preventing the rear cinch from sliding backward. Proper installation ensures your saddle remains stable and secure during all riding activities, providing peace of mind and improved safety.
Leather Customization
The light natural leather finish provides a blank canvas for customization. Regular application of leather oil will gradually darken the leather to your preferred shade, from light tan to rich brown. This allows you to match your existing tack or create a unique look. The tooled pattern becomes more pronounced as the leather darkens, enhancing the visual appeal of this functional piece of equipment.
