A cinch or girth is the one piece of tack holding your saddle to your horse — and the wrong one rubs, pinches, or galls a horse right behind the elbow. Performance cinches are built to hold securely while letting your horse breathe and move at work.
What Riders Are Actually Asking
Mohair, neoprene, or fleece — what should I ride in?
Natural mohair and roper-style cord cinches are the long-distance favorite: they breathe, wick, and rarely gall. Neoprene cinches grip and rinse clean but trap heat on long rides. Fleece-lined girths add cushion for sensitive or thin-skinned horses.
How do I size a cinch?
Measure from a few inches below the spine on one side, under the barrel, to the same point on the other. A correctly sized cinch buckles at the rigging "sweet spot" — not so high it pinches the elbow, not so low the buckles dig in. Common Western sizes run 28"–36".
My horse gets cinchy — what helps?
Often it's pressure or pinch. A contoured or roper cinch that relieves the elbow area, plus cinching up slowly in stages, makes a real difference. Galling behind the leg usually means the cinch is too wide or riding too high.
What's a contoured or smart cinch?
Contoured, elbow-relief designs like the Professional's Choice VenTECH cut away material behind the leg to stop pinching while keeping a wide, stable bearing surface.
How to Choose the Right Cinch
- Material for the ride: mohair/cord for long miles and heat, neoprene for grip and easy cleaning, fleece for sensitive skin.
- Size it right: buckles should sit clear of the elbow — measure before you buy.
- Look for elbow relief: contoured shapes prevent galling on hard-working horses.
- Check the hardware: stainless roller buckles cinch easier and last longer.
