Frequently Asked Questions

What makes BioThane a superior material for this flank cinch?

The BioThane material used in our keepers offers exceptional durability and low maintenance. Unlike traditional leather, BioThane is waterproof, stain-resistant, and won't fray, crack, or fade, ensuring longevity even with heavy use. It's also significantly lighter than leather and requires only a simple wipe-down with a damp cloth or mild soap and water for cleaning, eliminating the need for oiling or conditioning.

How does the contoured design benefit my horse's comfort and saddle stability?

Our contoured design is engineered for optimal horse comfort and saddle security. It provides full, natural contact, conforming precisely to your horse's natural girth groove. This specialized shape prevents rubbing, allows for superior shoulder freedom, and ensures elbow comfort. By maintaining consistent, even contact, it significantly enhances saddle stability, preventing it from shifting forward or tipping, and reduces irritation as it doesn't absorb sweat or moisture.

What is the primary purpose of a flank cinch, and how should it fit for safety?

A flank cinch is a crucial safety component in a western saddle setup. Its primary purpose is to stabilize the saddle, preventing the cantle from tipping forward during sudden stops, turns, roping, or navigating challenging terrain. For optimal safety and comfort, it should be snug enough to prevent rotation but allow you to comfortably slide two fingers between the cinch and your horse when unmounted. Always use the hobble strap to securely connect the flank cinch to the front cinch; this prevents the flank cinch from sliding too far back and potentially causing discomfort or a dangerous "sporty" event.
