Location: Mi | I've been a very faithful user of Classic Equine Alpaca cinches forever! I'm thinking I want to try something different. I've had very good luck with them, however The Total Saffle Fit Shoulder Relief cinches have really had my attention the last year, I haven't seen on in person and have no experience with one. Looking for opinions. I'd really like to try something new on my good horse, I run her in a Jatzlau treeless, any other suggestions? |

| I have always used 5Star mohair. I just switched to Total Fit and love them. My saddle doesn't slip and seems to stay more centered. |

I got felt. Not a fan of neoprene and I've never used fleece. But the cool thing is, no matter what liner you get, they come off and can be washed. |

Awesome, thank you! I'm not a neoprene fan either and also have never used fleece, thats why I was wondering. I've heard a lot of good about the fleece but I worry about it slipping. |

I'm interested in trying one of these cinches. Where did you buy yours ? I have a rolling saddle problem with my 4 yr old, who is built thick in the shoulder area. Doesn't help that he doesn't have much wither like his 1/2 sister does :(

| My favorite is the classic equine sensor flex fleece roper. Never had a horse that it didn’t work on. Had to size down to a 26” with my bob Marshall though. |

| For those of you that use the total saddle fit shoulder relief cinch, how do you measure/know what size to get? Do you get the size you use in other cinches? I usually use a 32" in a classic equine or 5 star. |

You get the same size you have always used on that horse. They measure the same. If you used a 30" in mohair, get a 30" in shoulder relief. |

| I want to thank those of you who suggested the shoulder relief cinch. I bought one after reading this thread & am very happy with this cinch. It fit my horse great & though my saddle fits my horse, this girth just made my saddle feel even better. Very much worth the price. I got the one with the felt. Thanks all. |
