Frequently Asked Questions

Is this Hilason flank cinch made from real leather?

Yes, this cinch is constructed from full-grain harness leather the same quality leather used in professional saddles and working tack. Hand-stitched with contrast seams, it develops character with use and ages beautifully. Hardware is stainless steel, rust-resistant and built for durability.

What does a flank cinch do on a western saddle?

A flank cinch attaches behind the primary girth to stabilize the saddle and prevent rotation or slipping during demanding rides. It works alongside the main cinch to distribute pressure evenly and keep the saddle secure during ranch work, trail riding, barrel racing, or roping. The connector system joins both cinches for coordinated hold.

How do I measure to fit a horse with this western cinch?

Measure around your horse's barrel at the flank (back of the rib cage, where a flank cinch sits). This cinch is 3 inches wide and adjustable across multiple holes, fitting horses ranging from average to wider barrels. Consult your saddle manufacturer's size chart, and allow one finger of space between the cinch and horse when buckled tight enough for security, loose enough for breathing.

Will this cinch rust or require special maintenance?

No the connector and buckles are stainless steel, so rust is not a concern even in wet or coastal climates. The leather surface requires minimal care: wipe clean after rides, condition lightly 2-3 times per year, and store in a dry location. Harness leather is naturally durable and improves with use.

Can this flank cinch work on different horses?

Yes. The adjustable design with multiple hole positions allows you to customize the fit to different barrel widths and shapes. Many barns use one cinch across multiple horses by adjusting the connector positioning, making it a cost-effective choice for working ranches or riders with more than one horse.

Is this cinch suitable for trail riding, or just ranch work?

This flank cinch is suitable for trail riding, ranch work, roping, barrel racing, and western pleasure riding any discipline that uses a western saddle. The 3-inch width and adjustable fit make it versatile across different riding styles and saddle types, providing secure positioning for extended trail rides or competitive events.
