Location: Idaho | Changed My CSI back to Wade. Getting my horse saddle fitted today. Now I'm looking for a new cinch.
I have always used fleece cinches.. but I think I am ready to try and give something else a try. What are your favorite cinches and why?

Location: Where the buffalo roam | Ortho Equine - Marlene Special Effx - I love the Chamois liner and the rings are attached by elastic much like an english girth so you can cinch tight if you need to and they can still breath. Mohair rubs my one horse and I do not like neoprene against their skin. |

Im odd too. Also it doesnt get slick or matted down after a lot of use during the shedding/ sweating seasons.

| I have used mohair cinches for 60 years. In trying to figure out why a horse just started being cinchy al of a sudden, I decided to get a Toklat fleece. Will never use mohair again.
I have owned this horse all his life and he is 13 years old. |

Ill agree here as well! I go back and forth between the felt and a mohair. Depending on how fat my horse is  |

I bought 2 of these. I really like them and have the fleece lined model. Only problem is where I ride stuff gets stuck in them all the time!@ |

Took a look at this. Could you tell me what the difference is between a just a regular fleece cinch and the Toklat? Also I saw one with memory foam in it? |

We have a bunch of these and also just got some new 5 Star cinches (THANKS DEANNA[RockyRoad]!!!!). I think Mother Nature is going to let us try them out tonight...finally. |

Location: Southeast Louisiana | Len Brown Never Tight. I like that I don't have to tighten it much at all to make a run. First time I used it, I could tell my mare was breathing easier and moving more freely, relaxed and comfortable. Love that thing! |

Ditto, no more getting on and off tightening before a run, no more bloating and having to get off again and again. My horses are big and I am old :). |

And add me to this list. It really is night and day between a Len Brown Never Tight and a mohair, neoprene etc etc. No saddle roll. I'm sure my super wide gelding appreciates not having to be cinched in half to keep the saddle in place. Plus they clean up in a breeze (wet cloth) and you never get stickers or other junk stuck in them. |
