Location: Wisconsin		 What is the most accurate way to measure? I've had off brand cinches the last few years, purchased used sometimes. Going to splurge later this winter and buy new. I/my horse prefer fleece covered cinches. Also, any recommendations on brands?

When I measure mine, I put the pad and saddle on my horse like I would when I go to ride. But, I let the cinch and stuff hang down. Then, I measure from the bottom of the rigging plate on both sides (when I measure mine, I get 48"). Then, since you want your cinch to be about 8 inches from your rigging on both sides, subtract 16". So, that number will be your cinch size. So my horse uses a 48-16=32" cinch. Does that make since?

*don't measure with your horse cinched up because it will add extra inches to the measurement. Measure from the rigging plate to rigging plate with the tape measure touching your horse.

 Yes makes sense. Thank you
