Horse Saddle Flank Cinch Girth Handtooled Leather W/ Billets Antique Tan Comfytack by Hilason
COMFYTACK Leather Flank Cinch - Hand Tooled Western Horse Girth
This hand tooled leather flank cinch completes the rigging on a western saddle, holding the back of the saddle down on steep ground and keeping the horse comfortable underneath it. The antique tan body measures 6 in wide and 34 in buckle to buckle, and matched leather billets come with it so you can rig up the same day. Available in a 34 in buckle-to-buckle length with a 6 in width to suit standard western rigging. It is a rear cinch, working alongside your front horse girth rather than replacing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a front girth or a rear flank cinch?
This is a rear flank cinch, also called a back cinch, that attaches behind the front girth on a western saddle. It connects to the flank rigging with the included leather billets and a center strap that ties into the front cinch, holding the back of the saddle down on steep ground.
What size saddle does this 34 inch flank cinch fit?
The girth measures 34 inches buckle to buckle, which fits most standard western saddle flank rigging. Measure your saddle's flank rigging point the same way before ordering, because a back cinch that is too short will not reach the billets. Sizing varies between saddle makers, so check your current cinch length first.
Is this flank cinch made of real leather?
Yes. The flank cinch, billets and center strap are all leather, and the body carries hand tooling across its full length in an antique tan finish. Leather breaks in and molds to the horse over time rather than staying stiff, so expect it to soften and darken slightly with regular use and light conditioning.
What is the difference between a leather flank cinch and neoprene or mohair cinches?
Neoprene cinches are easy to rinse and suit sweaty, hot-weather riding. Mohair cinches breathe and wick well on long trail rides. This leather flank cinch is hand tooled for a traditional western look, so it pairs best with riders who want matched leather tack and do not mind wiping it down after each ride.
Can I use this back cinch for trail riding and ranch work?
Yes. The flank cinch was made for trail riding, ranch work, training and everyday western riding. It keeps the rear of the saddle seated when a horse trots downhill or jumps sideways, and the smooth leather body is shaped to reduce chafing and rubbing behind the saddle on long days out.
How do I care for a hand tooled leather flank cinch?
Wipe the leather down with a damp cloth after sweaty rides, then let it air dry away from direct heat. Apply a light coat of leather conditioner a few times a season to keep the hand tooling from drying and cracking. Avoid soaking the leather or storing it damp, since trapped moisture weakens the billets.
