Crafted by Professional's Choice, this rear flank cinch features a premium "Doubled & Stitched" (D&S) construction that eliminates stretching and rolling under extreme tension.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 3-Inch Extra-Wide Design: Provides superior pressure distribution across the horse's barrel to prevent the back of the saddle from lifting during roping, reining, or steep descents.

• Stainless Steel Hardware: Equipped with rust-resistant "dee" rings and heavy-duty buckles designed to withstand high tension and harsh outdoor elements.
• Easy-Adjust Roller Buckles: Features integrated rollers that allow for smoother, more precise tightening compared to standard flat buckles, protecting the leather from wear.
• Safety Connector Strap: Includes a durable cinch hobble made of Biothane Beta or leather to ensure the rear cinch remains safely positioned and does not slide back.
• Versatile Western Sizing: Measuring between 35–40 inches, this cinch is designed to fit most standard Western saddles and stocky Quarter Horses perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How tight should I adjust this rear cinch?
A: For optimal safety, the rear cinch should be snug but not tight. You should be able to slide a flat hand (or two fingers) between the horse’s belly and the cinch to prevent "cinchiness" while ensuring it is tight enough that a horse cannot catch a hoof in it.

Q: Do I really need to use the included connector (hobble) strap?
A: Yes, the connector strap is a vital safety component. It prevents the rear cinch from sliding back into the sensitive flank area where it could trigger a bucking response, ensuring the cinch stays securely attached to the front cinch at all times.

Q: Which riding disciplines benefit most from a 3-inch rear cinch?
A: While great for any rider, this 3-inch model is essential for roping to keep the saddle level under weight, reining for stability during fast stops, and trail riding to prevent the saddle from shifting forward on steep declines.
