Mane Hair Cinchas

Mane hair cinchas are a natural fiber which works well on most horses---particularly when started in the winter so the horse's own hair coat can shed and pack the cinch. Mane hair, unlike mohair, clings to hair. As a result, cinchas do not have to be tightened as much (this is not to say that you don't need to check your cincha, etc. Always check and use caution).

The fibers can be rinsed, will not clog up and be used for years. Regular sizes run 28-36 inches. They look wonderful on historic saddle displays as well. The brass ring style with full shu-fly in a variety of colors is $135.

By custom order, California Classics makes plain or basket/set stamped or carved ring covers which help to protect horses from galls. Call for a quote on your design.

Custom order smaller or larger lengths (average wait is 6-8 weeks). Longer cinchas can be ordered. Add $25 for lengths over 36 inches.

Aaron and Carlo discuss the high quality cinchas as the group visited the shop from Spain and Germany.
