Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How tight should this flank cinch be adjusted?
A: Unlike your front cinch, the flank cinch should sit flush against the horse's belly with just enough room to slide two fingers between the leather and the horse; this prevents dangerous dangling while ensuring the saddle remains stable during cattle work or on trails.

Q: Do I need to use a connector strap with this cinch?
A: Yes, a cinch hobble (connector strap) is mandatory to keep the rear cinch from sliding back into the sensitive flank area, which prevents a bucking response and keeps the equipment in the safest, most effective position.
