What kind of cinch do you use with your western saddle? I have a green fuzzy one now that is covered in white Paint hair. I'm not sure if I should get a felt, mohair or neoprene. TIA.

I used a mohair cinch. My sister had a sheepskin one, and could never get it tight enough until after she'd ridden a few minutes.

neoprene

I use a neoprene girth. I love the fact that its so easy to clean but it's hot. Mohair looks uncomfortable to me but I've heard that its the horses' choice for comfort.

Maybe mohair for summer and neoprene for winter? I could get a mohair now and the neoprene later.

That sounds like a plan.

I use a felt cinch. Easy to clean,doesn't irriate and seems to wick away the sweat better the others

I use felt too, though I rarely ride Western.

I always used fleece. I now have a neoprene one, but don't ride anymore... *shrugs* ooops.

I always used fleece too. Go see my "Why I need a new cinch" post and you'll see why I'm thinking of switching. lol
