Re: [RC] Girthing vs Cinching - Laney Humphrey

Cinches have holes too. There is maybe a bit more flexibility, but in the end, you do still have to hit the hole. Here's another possible solution: stand on something when you tighten up to give yourself some added leverage.

holes--you have to be in one hole or the other, nothing in between. This has
especially been an issue w/ my new Barefoot Cheyenne + Equipedic +  mohair
dressage girth. My arms and hands don't seem to be strong enough (or more
likely, get leverage enough from my short height) to get to that next hole
up which is, at any rate, always a bit too tight.

I'm thinking I'd like to convert to a Western style cinch. Thoughts?

Thanks.
