Built from premium skirting leather, this complete set includes billets and the essential hobble strap, ready to ride straight out of the box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How tight should I cinch this back cinch?

Never cinch it tight like your front cinch. The safe standard is to leave enough room for two to three fingers to slide flat between the horse's belly and the Weaver Leather back cinch. This prevents chafing and allows your horse to breathe comfortably while still stabilizing the saddle.

Q: Does this set include the connector strap?

Yes, this is a complete cinch set. It includes the leather billets for both sides and the hobble strap that connects to your front cinch. That connector strap is critical — it keeps the back cinch from sliding back into the flank, which can cause dangerous bucking or discomfort.

Q: Will the single-ply design hold up to serious roping?

Absolutely. Weaver builds this cinch from heavy skirting leather, the same material used in quality saddle construction. The single-ply design is about reducing bulk under your leg, not reducing strength. It's more than capable of handling the forces of ranch roping and daily work.
