Also shouldnt they include these "special care" instructions when you buy their product??? Hi There- Sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your cinch. Unfortunately these are very delicate and have a natural hide backing, which means leather. Due to the acidic enzymes in horse sweat and salt they can rot rather quickly depending on how hard you ride or the conditions of use. Washing in the washing machine or hosing it off can compound this process as this as it is a leather item and water can accelerate the breakdown in the fibers of the leather. The best way to clean this is by wiping down with a damp/dry cloth after each use. Please allow to dry thoroughly before your next ride. If your cinch is under 6 months old we would be happy to replace this item for you with the copy of your receipt. You might want to try the Merino Wool Cinch instead as these can be hosed off and do not succumb to the natural breakdown from salt and sweat as quickly as the Shearling Cinch does.

They have sent me replacement products before. One time all I requested was a new Rowell for my spur and they replaced the whole set of spurs!!!

I ordered the sensor-flex which I should have ordered in the first place. Edited by mandita8907 2017-05-05 10:46 AM

I use medical grade shearling wool soap.
