Can anyone say why? I sent an email to Charon to enquire (and get one in the mail) but thought I'd enquire as to why...cause it seems odd to me thanks!

Or do they fit and ride so well that a lot of people feel that they aren't needed? I guess is what I'm asking. Would be good if that was the case... I'm still getting one anyhow though...

The last one I never did get the back cinches made since it didn't fit the horse I bought it for really well and I knew I was going to sell it.

Elite Veteran Posts: 631 Location: Somewhere in N.C.	From what I remember when I ordered mine, Charon said you don't need one if the saddle fits correctly. Also, by the time you take out a mortgage to buy one of their saddles new, you can't afford anything else to go with it. They nickle and dime you to death. All the other saddles I've ordered in the past have all come with back cinches and I wish my caldwell would have, but I couldn't afford to add anything extra to my bill.
