The rear cinch on a western saddle helps provide additional security and stability by preventing the saddle from shifting or tipping, especially during activities that involve heavy movements, such as roping or fast riding. It works alongside the front cinch to evenly distribute the pressure and weight across the horse’s body, ensuring the saddle stays in place. When adjusting the rear cinch, it should be snug but not too tight—too tight, and it could restrict the horse’s breathing or movement, while too loose, it may not provide enough support. Proper adjustment ensures the saddle stays secure without causing discomfort to the horse.

What is the purpose of the rear cinch on a western saddle, and how should it be adjusted?

Thanks for that. Makes a lot of sense. More comfortable on horse and rider.

Would this be the same thing as the bucking strap?

you can also single rig your saddle like that if you get your horse cinch galled.I would change my rig over to this a time or two when riding big circles on cattle.

😛 Wow That is a great idea. I have always left the back cinch loose because I was taught the horde would buck if cinched too tight in back. Thanks for the lesson.

Thank you very much for sharing this valuable information. It gave me a solid visual demonstration that makes good horse sense. I understand now. 😛
