When you're heading out for a long day of ranch work or navigating steep mountain trails, the last thing you want is a saddle that tips or lifts. The Professional's Choice Rear Flank Cinch Single Ply 3" is designed to provide that essential secondary point of contact, ensuring your cantle stays down and your weight stays balanced, no matter the terrain.

Crafted from heavy-duty harness leather, this single-ply cinch offers a streamlined, low-profile fit that reduces bulk under your leg without sacrificing an ounce of strength. It is a piece of gear built for the long haul, from our barn to yours.

Why Riders Trust This Flank Cinch

• Reduced Bulk: The single-ply heavy harness leather construction provides a thinner profile than doubled-and-stitched alternatives, giving you a closer feel and less interference under your leg.
• Smooth Adjustments: Heavy-duty stainless steel roller buckles allow for effortless tightening and fine-tuning, so you can get the fit just right without fighting your gear.
• Maximum Safety: Includes a durable Biothane Beta connector strap to keep the cinch properly positioned and prevent it from sliding back into a dangerous bucking strap position.
• Rust-Proof Longevity: Featuring a stainless steel center dee and hardware, this cinch is built to withstand sweat, rain, and hard work without corroding.
• Performance Stability: Specifically engineered for double-rigged saddles to distribute pressure evenly and prevent the back of the saddle from lifting during roping or steep descents.

Best For

Ranchers, ropers, and trail riders looking for heavy-duty saddle stability and a low-profile fit during high-intensity maneuvers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How tight should I pull the Professional's Choice Rear Flank Cinch?

A rear cinch should never be as tight as your front cinch. A good rule of thumb is the hand-space rule: you should be able to fit a flat hand snugly between the leather and the horse’s belly. This prevents the Professional's Choice Rear Flank Cinch from hanging low enough for a horse to catch a back foot while still providing the necessary stability.

Q: Why choose a single-ply cinch over a doubled-and-stitched one?

Many performance riders prefer the single-ply design because it offers a closer contact feel. It provides all the strength of heavy harness leather with less bulk, which is especially helpful for riders who want to minimize the distance between their leg and the horse.
