Product description
Give a sensitive or "girthy" horse the natural comfort of 100% Merino wool. The Professional's Choice Merino Wool Western Cinch pairs a soft, breathable wool lining with heavy-duty webbing and stainless steel hardware to help reduce cinch sores, rubs and heat buildup while keeping the saddle secure.
Still comparing options?
Merino wool is naturally moisture-wicking and non-abrasive, so it helps regulate temperature and reduce friction at the girth line for trail, arena and ranch work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I choose the right size?
Western cinch size is the buckle-to-buckle length. Aim to have the buckles sit about a hand's width (3–4") below the elbow on each side, clear of the elbow. If you're replacing a cinch, measure your current one buckle to buckle and match the size.
Q: Is wool better than neoprene for a sensitive horse?
Many owners of sensitive-skinned horses prefer natural wool because it's breathable and less likely to trap heat than some synthetics. Every horse is different, so watch how your horse responds and keep the liner clean.
Q: How do I clean the wool liner?
Detach the wool liner from the webbing and machine wash on gentle with a wool-safe detergent, then air dry to keep the loft and softness.
