Re: [RC] [RC] lost cinch at overlook? - Kathy Mayeda

I take the girth off of my English endurance saddles so they won't bend up the leather. 
 
I leave the cinch on my more Western style Abetta endurance saddle.  You can put up the cinch and attach the end to the saddle so that it doesn't bend any so called leather...
 
I'm working towards converting my synthetic English saddle grith to a Western cinch with a camlock because the tree flattens when I'm mounted and it's hard to tighten the girth while mounted.

I take mine off so that it won't "drip dry" all over my stuff in the tackroom of my trailer. My saddle sits above all my other gear, like shoes, half chaps, and helmet. Would rather not have horse sweat all over them.  :)
But, I do keep the girth thrown over my shoulder when I take it off, that way I know I won't forget it.  (now watch, I'll leave it somewhere!)  lol

Can someone explain the reasons folks remove the girth completely everytime they unsaddle?  
Just curious, seems like extra work, and girths get lost, dropped, left at home,  saddles get shook off while trying to work both sides.
Why is this a good practice, I see it all the time?

Hi all local riders from Auburn etc.  I have been so upset recently because I seem to have lost one of my good cinches.  I may have left it at the Overlook staging so thought I'd put out a note incase anyone has come across it!
