Has anyone tried one of these? (scroll down for the western cinch) http://www.spursuader.com/Tapestry-Comfort-Girth.html

Not having any particular issues, I just know that my horse got less cinchy when I switched to an elastic girth on his english saddle. I need a shorter cinch for the baby, so just looking at all my options.

I have never used one of those, but I use ones that Ortho Equine used to have that were endorsed by Marlene McCrae. They had elastic where the rings attached to the cinch and my horses loved them. I looked on their site, but they must have discontinued them :-( and I was just going to order some new ones!
