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 western flank cinch is the rear half of a two-cinch western rigging, and this hand-tooled back cinch brings tooled detail to a working piece of tack. Comfytack builds it from full grain harness leather at 36 inches buckle to buckle with leather billets included, so it fits a saddle already rigged for a rear cinch.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flank cinch used for?
A western flank cinch is the rear cinch on a two-cinch western rigging. It attaches to the back of the saddle with billets and runs behind the front cinch, holding the rear of the saddle down when a horse climbs, turns or stops quickly. Riders rely on it for trail riding, ranch work and training to stop the saddle lifting at the back.
How do I measure a flank cinch for my horse?
This western flank cinch girth measures 36 inches buckle to buckle and 6 inches wide, and the included billets are 22 inches long and 1.75 inches wide. Riggings differ between saddle makers, so measure the straps you are replacing and compare them to these figures rather than guessing from your horse's size alone.
What is included with this flank cinch?
Each cinch ships with two leather billets already attached, 22 inches long and 1.75 inches wide, plus the hand-tooled leather girth body and its metal buckles. Nothing else is required to mount it on a saddle that is already rigged for a rear cinch, though you should confirm your saddle has the rear dee ring and rigging position.
Is this cinch real leather and how do I care for it?
This western flank cinch girth is built from full grain harness leather with a hand-tooled floral panel in antique tan. Wipe it down after muddy rides, let it dry away from direct heat and work a leather conditioner into the strap two or three times a season. Avoid soaking the tooled panel, which softens the carving over time.
Will this flank cinch fit my western saddle?
Fit depends on your rigging rather than the saddle brand. This girth is 36 inches buckle to buckle with 22 inch billets, so it suits western saddles already set up for a rear or back cinch. Measure the straps it replaces before ordering, because saddle makers space rear rigging differently.
What is the difference between a front cinch and a flank cinch?
The front cinch, often called the horse girth, holds the saddle down under the belly. A western flank cinch sits behind it and works as a stabilizer, keeping the back of the saddle from lifting on steep ground or quick stops. A two-cinch rigging uses both, and this listing covers the rear flank cinch only.
