| Who has used one? Or a Near tight? I'm imagine my mare could run faster, certainly be more comfortable, if I didn't cinch her up so tight. But $369 for a cinch? Having a hard time with that. I have the money, but  |

My daughter's first saddle was less than that. Used, but still.... The Near Tight is $189. |

Location: Northwest | My good friend has two Near Tight and likes them but doesn't LOVE them, she wouldn't buy another. I have the Never Tight and I LOVE it. Will buy another once I set aside some $. It is a good chunk of change but rather small when you look at how much money most of us spend on barrel racing as a whole each year.

Clinton Anderson and Hill View Farm? both sell a similarly shaped cinch. Neither is built the same way as Len Brown's so I'm not sure if it is really comparable but they might be worth looking into! |

Same here there is no way I would ever spend that kind of money on a cinch, I like my Classic Equine cinches just fine,, lol And I spend maybe 65.00 on a cinch  |

Thanks for responding. What do you like about the cinch? Are you able to reduce the tightness significantly? Although it is a lot of money, nothing about barrel racing is cheap. I've spent that much for a 3 day race and didn't win a thing. Do you think it's more comfortable for your horse? |

Location: Northwest | I just started using mine within the past few weeks. I always rode with a loose cinch before (could easily tighten it another 3-4 holes before being "tight"). My saddle and pad work really well together and my saddle never moved a hair even with such a loose cinch....whew long backstory. Fast forward to the Never Tight.... One particular horse was always a bit cinchy, not anymore. Yes it is loose along the ribs (doesn't even touch in some spots) and hugs the horse underneath. No change in saddle movement (like I said, I never had a problem with a shifty saddle). Horses are moving more freely and just seem happier overall. No saddle movement when mounting either. Definitely built to last forever, great construction and materials. |

Location: Some where I haven't left yet | I actually plan on buying one in the near future. They are Very similar to the Sports Cincha that Bob Marshal Used to make. I use it with my BM (only and all of the time) it keeps the saddle from rolling. The trick is: Take two latigo's Cut (at least) 1/3 of the length off, burn more holes so that they are evenly spaced and both latigo's are punched the same. Then when you cinch you "count" holes. IE. one hole left on the bottom, or two on each side. This keeps the fitted cinch AND your saddle centered. |

So they dont make them anymore? :( That sounds like what I need.
I told my husband the other day about the never tight and he laughed at me. So even if I could come up with the money, he probly wouldnt let me buy one. I do however think that if it makes a big difference and the horse is a lot more comfortable which equates to them over time performing better, happier, then it would be worth it. |

I am sorry, but are you serious? If you save up the money and you don't need it for anything else - bills, food, fuel to get to work- then why do you have to have his ok to buy something you saved up for?! You just seem like a really nice girl and that just hit me wrong. I have been married 30 years to the same man and he has never said I couldn't buy something if all bills were paid and we had the money to spare. My dad and FIL would not, either. If I ever heard my son say that to his wife, I'd clock him one. |

Location: Georgia | Ive been selling all my girths I have laying around so I can buy one of these. So the near tights are not as good as the never tight? Does anyone know how much the never tights run new? I could not get the webpage to pull up.
Also I am considering the total saddle fit shoulder relief girth. Has any one tried or heard of these? https://totalsaddlefit.com/shoulderreliefgirth/ |

lol sorry, I worded that a little wrong! He has NEVER told me I couldnt buy something if we had the money and I had a good reason. But it would take some good reasoning to convince him its worth that. |

Location: Some where I haven't left yet | They don't make the leather/leather lined one's anymore :( They were about $150 new and Heck mines pushing 15 years old and going strong. That's the thing about the leather cinches like this - they last next to forever so when you take care of it, you don't have to buy another cinch...... It's just the initial outlay of cash that hurts. |

Good idea, but I don't like neoprene girths. I think they stick too much and pull on a horses skin while the horse is trying to move. JMO...... |

Location: Southeast Louisiana | If you have never had saddle fitting problems, and a conventional girth works well for you, then you probably can't understand how a girth can be worth that much to someone. I have one horse whose saddle rolled. I tried several saddles. They all seemed to fit nice, but would roll whenever we made a run. The never tight was, hands down, the best money I've ever spent on a piece of equipment. It completely solved my problem. The saddle doesn't move and the girth isn't tight. I can tell my mare is a lot more comfortable and can no doubt breathe better. |
