Wait if you guessed the cinch you are right.
Where would a saddle be without a cinch? I am sure there are many cowboys that could answer that question with an entertaining story.
I know of one cowboy with a great story. While pulling a heifer through a snow-covered meadow his cinch broke. He spun around mid-air feet still in the stirrups and glided smoothly to the ground, still dallied, facing the heifer, wondering in bewilderment, what had just happened. He sat watching that cow alone in the meadow deserted by his trusty steed and his cow dog.
What to look for when purchasing a cinch?
- Quality of the material is very important, making sure it is strong and won’t fray and wear out easily.
- It is very important there is no stitching or leather that can rub the horse and cause any type of sores.
- The type of hardware is also very important. Some brands of buckles can rub the horse causing sores.
While there are many brands to buy, with many designs and features I would like to share with you my favorite. A handmade cinch from Hatch Tack.
Here are some of the things I like about the cinches from Hatch Tack:
All of their products are made with quality craftsmanship. Each cinch is handcrafted by Siara Hatch. Through the center of the cinch, a nylon strip is sewn and wrapped with mohair to protect the horse and also for durability. The dees are also looped in with the nylon webbing.
Each cinch is made from quality mohair for durability and strength.
- Flat hardware is used to protect the horse from rubbing. The hardware used is stainless steel or solid brass.
- A Custom cinch can be ordered with your brand or favorite design.
- Siara can make your cinch in a variety of colors.
- Cinches can be ordered made to fit, ranging from 26″ to 36″ long.
