Location: Choctaw, Oklahoma | My saddle is pretty loud colored. I finally found a breast collar and bridle to match it. My dilemma now is trying to find flank straps to match!!! anyone bother with trying to find flank straps to match your tack/saddle? |

| I don't use flank straps on my horse I would rather not give them incentive to buck me off.
I do use a rear or back cinch, I order my saddles with one so they match the saddle. I do not try to have the rear or back cinch match anything else. |

flank straps, or "off billets" hold your rear cinch on

Where I come from a flank strap is used on bucking stock.

I bet you could find a tack maker to help you out. Maybe send Running Roan a pm and ask her if she would make a set for you. She makes really nice stuff. |

There are no flank straps on a saddle. The leather that holds the back cinch is called a billet strap. The leather that hold the front cinch on is called the off billet. |

My saddle's not all blinged out either. But I do have a nice, Heritage brand, flashy breastcollar and headstall set. I think a set of pretty flank straps would be super unique! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND, would offset a plainer saddle. : ) |

I've always called them flank billets! I've heard the back cinch referred to as the flank cinch, but never flank strap. Flank straps are a whole nother ball game :) |

I was very serious too. Somehow the term "stocking stuffer" didn't portray what I was saying... |

It's an auto correct on the site. So curb strap will be something else. I forgot the original story. |

Yes, you put those two words together and it was "censored". That's the only phrase I've seen that it happens to.  |
