Re: [haflingerfriends] cinch/girth size/type question

Here are a few to get you started.... while some stores might not carry 38", they are easily available on line...
If you don't like any of these, just do a google search for (38" Western Cinch)...

Subject: [haflingerfriends] cinch/girth size/type question



Just measured Camryn at 80 inch heart girth she apparently needs a 38" cinch. She weighs in at over 1,300 pounds and is 58 " tall. Yeah she needs to shed a few. Anyway my 34" cinch won't fit and it appears in most catalogs that they stop at size 36"!!! I ride western and need to find one for her. What type western cinch would be recommended for a Haflinger and were can I get one? And should I go with one less expensive till she loses some of her beef and most likely will be a 36"? I do plan to go to the Equine Affaire in Columbus in April. I may just concentrate on ground work till then, would any vendors there perhaps carry draft sizes?
My saddle is a 4-beat gaited one, size wide with a flexible flared tree, that fits just fine with a thin blanket from what I can tell without cinching her up.
Thanks,Susan
