Expert Posts: 3815 Location: The best kept secret in TX	The cinch you're asking about is designed for shoulder relief and comfort. It is still a neoprene bottom girth like all others, just shaped differently. I ride in a 100% Mohair Cinch. These types of cinches are made from natural fibers and stretch with the horse's movements rather than the neoprene which actually never moves while the horses skin moves underneath the material of the neoprene. It's easy to get a gall from this type of cinch in my opinion. Natural fibers are always better for sensitive skin rather than man made materials. Try a true 100% mohair cinch with a nylong billet and off billet. I doubt you'll be disapointed. Edited by IRunOnFaith 2017-03-17 9:04 AM

Born not Made Posts: 2931 Location: North Dakota	My Shotgun is kinda cinchy (been vetted up and down). I tried a lot of cinches and he does best with the Prof Choice Shearling.

Expert Posts: 1268 Location: North of Tulsa, Oklahoma	CYA Ranch - 2017-03-17 2:39 PM Pro Choice Shearling This is what I have to use on my very light gray mare with really thin hair once she slicks off. I get the girth with the velcro on fleece and wash it in Dreft or Woolite every couple of weeks.

My horse galled no matter what cinch I used till I got the tuffy , then he was real happy with me. They are flatter and wider than the weaver felt cinch.
