Horse Saddle Flank Cinch Girth Handtooled Leather W/ Billets Antique Tan Comfytack by Hilason
Comfytack Hand-Tooled Leather Western Flank Cinch Girth - Antique Tan
The Comfytack western flank cinch girth pairs hand-tooled antique tan leather with heavy-duty billets, giving a western saddle a rear cinch that stays settled through long miles. This leather horse girth is built for riders who want a rear girth cinch strap that looks as good as it works, with a carved floral pattern that echoes a tooled saddle.
Hand-Tooled Leather That Holds Up to Daily Barn Use
- Deep floral tooling is cut into the leather across the body and billets, so the pattern stays crisp rather than shallow and stamped.
- The 6 inch wide body spreads contact across the flank instead of pinching one narrow band, which helps prevent chafing and rubbing.
- Leather billets at 22 inches long and 1.75 inches wide attach to the flank rigging with a secure hold and are simple to swap out when they wear.
- Adjustable buckle hardware lets you dial in tension once the saddle is on the horse.
Best For Trail Riding, Ranch Work and Training Rides
- Long trail miles where the back of the saddle needs to stay down on steep ground.
- Ranch work, gate work and everyday schooling on western horses.
- Riders restoring an older western saddle or assembling a first western tack setup.
- Barns outfitting several saddles at once - built for daily use without the premium price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flank cinch girth used for?
A flank cinch girth, also called a rear girth, runs under the horse behind the front cinch and attaches to the flank rigging of a western saddle. It holds the back of the saddle down on steep ground and rough country, which is why it is common on trail riding, ranch work and training horses.
Will this flank cinch girth fit my western saddle?
Check two things. The girth measures 34 inches buckle to buckle and 6 inches wide, so compare that against the rear girth you are replacing. Your saddle also needs flank rigging for the included 22 inch billets, which are 1.75 inches wide, to attach to. Without rear rigging, a flank cinch will not work.
Is this cinch made of genuine leather?
The cinch and its billets are made of leather with a hand-tooled floral pattern and an antique tan finish. Because the tooling is cut by hand, minor variation in the carving and in the tan tone is normal from one piece to the next, which is part of the character of hand-tooled western tack.
Are the billets included with this girth?
Yes. The set ships with leather billets measuring 22 inches long and 1.75 inches wide, matched to the girth. The billets are the straps that connect the rear cinch to the flank rigging on a western saddle, and they can be replaced separately as they wear.
What is the difference between a front cinch and a flank cinch?
The front cinch is the main girth that holds the saddle on, running behind the front legs. A flank cinch girth sits further back under the horse and attaches to the flank rigging to stop the rear of the saddle from lifting. Most western saddles use both, and they are sized separately.
How should I care for hand-tooled leather tack?
Wipe the leather with a damp cloth after dusty rides, let it dry away from direct heat, and apply a leather conditioner a few times a year. Keep the tooled pattern clean with a soft brush so dust does not settle into the carving. Store the flank cinch girth hanging flat rather than folded.
