To find your size, measure from the center of the chest, under the belly, to that point above the elbow and multiply by two. If you fall on an odd number, we suggest sizing down to keep the buckles clear of the saddle rigging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eQ: Is the liner replaceable or washable?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes! The VenTECH liner is detachable, making it incredibly easy to peel off and hand-wash with mild soap and water. This is essential for preventing the sweat and bacteria buildup that can cause skin irritation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eQ: Will this cinch prevent my saddle from rolling?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Professional's Choice SMx VenTECH Western Cinch is specifically designed with a non-slip neoprene that provides a much more secure grip than fleece or leather, making it an excellent choice for horses with rounder barrels or for high-speed events like barrel racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e CINCH14-BLACK\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professional's Choice","offers":[{"title":"14","offer_id":47994011746525,"sku":"CINCH14-BLACK","price":86.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16","offer_id":47994011779293,"sku":"CINCH16-BLACK","price":86.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18","offer_id":47994011812061,"sku":"CINCH18-BLACK","price":86.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"22","offer_id":47994011844829,"sku":"CINCH22-BLACK","price":86.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/professional-s-choice-black-western-horse-cinch-durable-comfortable-equine-girth-cinch14-black.webp?v=1780467560","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/professional-s-choice-equine-black-western-cinch","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
