never-tight cinchs & Elastic crupper
The Never-Tight™ cinch.
This ULTIMATE Girth made to let your horse breathe, but stabilize the saddle better than possible with any Cinch. Length is measured on the inside of the girth from end to end. Put a tape measure on your horse (side to side) to determine the size you want. The NEVER-TIGHT has an Aircraft Interior Plastic core that is molded with a general horse shape including the flare a horse's barrel.

The NO-FLINCH CINCH, by Len Brown is made of 2 layers of Black Bridle Leather lined with smooth long lasting 1/4" shoe sole crepe. Stainless Buckles rotate to the angle needed to keep your saddle in place back of the shoulders. The BUCKLES are now held by Bridle leather and Nylon Seat Belt Webbing.
The NEVER~TIGHT CRUPPER
I have riders today that don't know what the importance of this Crupper is. Cruppers & Britchens have been used that long in attempt to hold the saddle back & off the shoulders of the equine while in downhill riding. Britchens loosen as the incline gets steeper. For 3,000 miles I got off at the top of the mountain & tightened the 3 pack horse's britchens. After reaching the bottom of the grade I got off and loosened them so as not to gall the hindquarters. That is more trouble than I care to do on hills & not mountains. Cruppers were used by the U.S. Indians & all the Cavalries of the world. As the hindquarters reach forward on an incline, the Britchen loosens & the Crupper tightens.
THE ELASTIC TENSION INCREASES IN HOLDING POWER AS IT DOES NOT STRETCH LIKE A RUBBER BAND. EVERY INCH OF STRETCH ADDS 5lbs OF PULL.
That makes the Crupper more efficient but it still has limitations. If tightened to contact to the underside of the tail while animal is standing, it will be too tight when riding & the solid hit to the tail with every stride will create havoc. So it is necessary to put 3 fingers of clearance between the Croup & the strap going to the tailpiece. That leaves the Crupper loose when on the flat. It is then only intermittently tightens at the peak of every stride in the downhill. It takes an extremely steep incline for it to function at a 50% efficiency.
WHEN ADJUSTING THE NEVER-TIGHT CRUPPER YOU TIGHTEN 2 OR 3 HOLES AFTER THE SLACK IS OUT OF THE CRUPPER. EACH HOLE = 1 INCH WHICH = 5 LBS OF TENSION. So 10 to 15 lbs to start makes the equine tuck his hind when you mount adding another 5 or 10 lbs of tension. In the downhill the tension increases as the grade of incline increases. NEVER DOES THE TAIL HAVE A SOLID HIT WITH THIS CRUPPER! It can have up to 40 lbs of tension holding your saddle back in a steep downhill. Price is: $249 with horse or draft size tail piece. A 16.5H or larger animal will do well with the Draft size.
