Overview

Why We Love This

The Total Saddle Fit Shoulder Relief Cinch™ changes the position and angle of the billets to prevent the saddle tree from interfering with the shoulder. The center of the cinch is set forward to sit in the horse’s natural girth groove, while the sides of the cinch are cut back to meet the latigos two inches behind where the horse’s natural girth groove lies. This stops the latigos from angling forward, which reduces the saddle’s tendency to be pulled forward into the shoulders. With horses that have shoulder interference without angled latigos, it simply moves the latigos back to keep the saddle away from the shoulders' range of motion. The secondary benefit to this shape is the cutback at the elbows. This gives more room for elbow movement as well, and prevents galls in the elbow area.

The new Balance Buckle™ centers the cinch over the horse's sternum, while ensuring even pull and stability over the surface of the cinch. With the unique contour of the Shoulder Relief Cinch, it is very important that the cinch is centered (left to right) over the horse's sternum. This ensures the elbow cutaways are in the right place and the pull on the latigos is symmetrical.  The Balance Buckle™ allows for fine tuning of this position by offering two off billet placements. A big issue with traditional curved cinch buckles is the amount of left to right latigo movement they allow. This can lead to uneven pull on the cinch and make it less stable on the horse. The Balance Buckle™ solves this in a couple ways. First the top edge of the buckle is perfectly flat, which keeps the latigo exactly where it needs to be without sliding and curving around the edges of the buckle.  Second, the base of the Balance Buckle™ uses a wide, flat dedicated attachment point on the cinch. This gives a consistent even pull over the surface of the cinch.

The Balance Buckle™ deliberately does NOT have rollers. This is a unique feature specific to the shape of the Shoulder Relief Cinch. Over-tightening a Shoulder Relief Cinch actually reduces its effectiveness - it distorts the shape of the cinch and minimizes the comfort for your horse and the saddle fit benefits. The two bar design of the Balance Buckle™ let's you get just enough torque on the latigo without the risk of a roller. It lets the shape of the cinch do the work with soft contact, versus heavy pressure on your horse. 

The Balance Buckle™  is the strongest buckle out there.  It is made of 100% 304 stainless steel. No matter how beat up it gets, the Balance Buckle™ will not rust or wear out.

Please note, leather is a natural product with natural characteristics that may have some color and texture variation.

Total Saddle Fit Shoulder Relief Cinch w/Balance Buckle - Fleece is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent cinch! This is an excellent cinch! Very good quality. I have a very round barreled half arabian with an extremely forward girth groove and every cinch I tried prior just wanted to pull the saddle forward onto his shoulders. This one actually keeps the saddle in place so much better! He's also very sensitive, so the sheepskin is comfortable for him. He's been less cinchy with this cinch than others because I don't have to get it as tight to try and keep the saddle from sliding or rolling. He's about 14.2, so I got the 28 inch cinch and it's a good size, maybe could have done a 30 inch but anything bigger than that would have likely been too big.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best! Fabulous cinch. Made well, with a good/secure fit. Appreciate the contour support on the sternum and non-chafing clearance around the leg. I got a new saddle and needed a slightly larger cinch so this is actually my second. Highly recommend.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very nice!! Very nice cinch!! Fleece is nice and soft! Great quality, however, cinch is difficult to get off latigo when using the one setting on the balance buckle and wish I had ordered one size smaller because it’s almost too big. But overall great quality.
