Professionals Choice WESTERN CINCH MERINO WOOL Brown 26

After many years my cinch was wearing out. Purchased the Pro Choice Fleece cinch. I love how it absorbs sweat and is soft against my horse. I'm convinced he likes it too!

fits really well. The only thing I would change is that I can't use the buckle. I have to wrap the belt and I don't feel like I can cinch it tight enough.

I love these girths. They looked good and the wool portion can be easily removed from the cinch to wash. Cleans up great! I have two to rotate so I can keep the wool nice and clean.

I have quite the cinch collection! You might say it is an obsession. I have anatomical cinches/shoulder relief, neoprene cinches, wool cinches, and mohair/alpaca cinches. The Professional's Choice SMx Comfort Merino Wool Western Cinch is by far my favorite wool cinch! Professional's Choice never fails to disappoint. Their products are fantastic. I love this wool cinch. The liner is 100% Merino wool and is moisture-wicking. It is soft for my horse, it cleans really easy, and is at a reasonable price point. The buckle-system comes off of the fleece with velcro, making it super easy to clean. Although they recommend hand or hose washing, I have machine washed on delicate and air-dried. The roller bar on the mounting side of the cinch makes it easier to cinch the saddle, and the overlapping fleece keeps the metal from rubbing the sides of my horse. That roller help get that cinch snug without much effort and no worry about pinching my horse. My first fleece cinch has lasted for close to 3 years, and I'm still using it without a problem although I have purchased a replacement as a spare. I was going to get a different wool cinch costing considerably more. However, I ordered this one and I am very pleased.

I wanted to change out my cinch and researched this cinch - it has been great! After first ride super soaked and dirty- easy to remove- I threw in the washing machine dried in the sun, looked great reattached to cinch perfectly! Hardware is heavy duty. Highly recommend!

I have a very sensitive mare that pryer to me obviously was overly cinched and hurt. I have been working with her with this cinch and so much better. No more trying to bite or kick when I am cinching. This is a very nice product and seems to fit true to size.

I bought this a month ago since my new horse was on the verge of getting girth sores with his old synthetic one. He has very thin skin and hair. I do take measures to make sure that I do not use it when trail riding in muddy or wet climates since I don't want it to stain. But my horse has grown his hair back since using it and it is very nice and thick, worth the money.

My mare simply will not tolerate a regular cinch with ring ends... This girth is beautifully padded end to end including the rings. The girth has a tiny bit of stretch and a roller buckle on the tightening up end. The merino wool is thick. There is no slippage when riding. best of all the girth hand washes up beautifully. Put in a bucket of warm water and Woolite, it washed and rinsed clean. Squeezed as much water out as possible.. I thought it would take days to dry, but drip drying overnight and hanging out in the sun the next day, it is ready to use. to a big chore to wash this at all.. thinking I might want to have two to be able to rotate their use. Awesome product!

I bought my first cinch a year ago It cleans up well in a bit of wool lite and luke warm water Then hang it up to dry overnight My horse loves it in hot or in cold weather I just had to buy one more

Never had problem with Professional Choice products before. But Smartpak must have gotten a bad batch. The first one I received had 6 inch rough spot in the fleece so I called and it was replaced quickly by Smartpak. The 2nd also had a smaller rough flaw in the fleece. I needed the girth and didn't have time for another replacement so I shaved the spot out myself to keep from rubbing my horse and will have to purchase another one to replace it now
