Martin Saddlery Skirting Leather Cinch

Saddle skirting leather is chosen for its durability and structural integrity. It provides a sturdy, reliable hold that resists stretching over time, ensuring the cinch maintains its shape even with daily use.

BioThane is used for the keepers because it is exceptionally resistant to cracking and moisture. It helps the keepers maintain their shape and grip on the latigo straps much longer than traditional leather keepers, which can soften or break down over time.

The latigo liner adds a layer of flexibility and softness against the horse's flank while reinforcing the overall strength of the cinch. It provides a smooth surface that reduces friction compared to raw skirting leather.

Yes, the roller buckles are designed to accommodate standard western latigo straps. The roller mechanism is specifically included to make tightening the cinch easier and to reduce wear on the leather straps.

To keep the edges looking professional, wipe them down with a damp cloth after use to remove sweat and dirt. Periodically applying a high-quality leather conditioner will keep the leather supple and prevent the dyed edges from drying out or cracking.
