Lari Dee Guy released a collection of Rope Like a Girl cinchas by 5 Star and they are SO COLORFUL that I HAVE to have one. Just wondering how everyone likes their cinch and how much smaller you had to order to adjust for stretching? My horse doesn't quite like a string cinch, but I've heard they are awesome.
I don't have any of the fancy ones popping up on my Facebook page lately but I've had a couple made that I like a lot. In fact I need to order another but can't afford those fancy colored ones. I don't recall how much they stretch. I've had mine quite a while. Rockyroad would be the gal to ask.
I have a 5 Star Mohair cinch on all of my saddles and LOVE them! Not only because they are pretty, but are good and comfortable for my horse. They breath unlike the rubber and plastic stuff. As far as the size, I just ordered the same size as my other cinch. The length of the cinch is measured when the mohair is stretched tight. Call 5 Star, I bet they can help you decide what size.
All I use are 5 Star cinchas now, I love them. I ordered the same size as what I was using previously and they fit great. I don't have these colorful ones, those are pretty!
