Location: The best kept secret in TX | 5 Star 100% Mohair with nylon billet and tie strap. I like the fact that they are "forgiving" and stretch with the horse. Not to mention they're super soft.

We use the 5 stars as well, but with leather half breeds and latigos.
I like them, I think I’m going to try a shoulder relief cinch as well, I’ve heard good things |

I love the original Soft-Touch neoprene girths by Reinsman. They hold up well and are super soft.

| I have 2 of the never tight cinch by Len Brown. Pricey but like that I don’t have to cinch up too tight and saddle never budges. I also LOVE that at races I don’t have to cinch up extra tight before a run, I don’t have to adjust it at all from when I first get on and warm up. |

| I'm partial to my Smart Cinchs. I have a neoprene one for the spring so the hair washes off and switch to felt once they are done shedding.
I WOULD like to meet a Shoulder relief girth in person and try it on my saddle. |

Location: Northwest | Another vote for Len Brown's Never Tight. I can't tell you how many times I've gotten off after riding and I can stick my whole fist underneath the cinch and I had no idea while riding how loose it was. My saddle never roles. Ever. |

Wow!!!! I can't afford that right now! Maybe in the future..I would like to try the shoulder relief cinch, I know they are fairly new, but I've heard some good things about them |

Location: Southeast Louisiana | I also love my Len Brown Never Tight. For all the same reasons stated above. My horse can breathe better during a run since the girth doesn’t need to squeeze the air out of her to keep the saddle on. Best money I ever spent on a piece of equipment. |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | If your saddle fits right and you have the right pad and your a balance rider I dont see having to cinch up so tight that your cutting your horses air off. I have never tighting my saddle tight I just snug it tight enought to were it dont roll when I get on. And maybe tighten just a snug more befor I run.. I have seen so many tighten up their saddles to wear the horses skin is so winkel up in layers, I dont think theres no need for that.
Edit to ad: Thats why I like the roper style cinches, they stablize your saddle so much better.

| I like the Toklat girths. They are made with fleece and my horses seem really comfortable in them. I also have a 5star that I like too. It' seems to make a horse that's a little cinchy comfortable bc it has a little give to it |

Location: In The Snow, AZ | I ride with a shoulder relief cinch and LOVE it. My horses are much more comfortable.... I can tell because I was cleaning it so was using just a regular roper style cinch and nobody was happy about it. |

| For those that use and like the shoulder relief cinch, do you use the neoprene or the felt liner? |
