Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an off billet to use a Y cinch with a Tucker High Plains saddle and angled rear D-rings for crossfire rigging?
Because saddle configurations can vary, it is difficult to give a definitive answer without seeing your exact setup. However, with a Tucker High Plains saddle that has angled rear D-rings designed for crossfire rigging, you will most likely need to add an off billet when using a Y cinch. The off billet helps ensure proper attachment and balanced tension when crossfiring the Y cinch, allowing it to function as intended for stability and comfort.
Will this Y cinch work with a Tucker River Plantation saddle that has low western rigging, and what billets are needed for the back cinch?
Yes, Y cinches are designed to work with western rigging and include regular-style billets that are compatible with most western saddles, including the Tucker River Plantation. If your saddle’s cinching sits low, you may need a shorter cinch to achieve proper fit.
To determine the correct cinch size, measure from the center of the horse’s underside in the girth area. Stop the measurement approximately 4 inches above and behind the elbow, or at the point where the cinch will attach to the saddle rigging. Multiply that measurement by two to determine the total cinch length needed. Standard western billets are used for the back cinch connection.
Will a Y cinch help keep my saddle from rolling on a Tennessee Walker, especially in difficult terrain?
Yes, the Y cinch is specifically designed to improve saddle stability on hard-to-fit horses such as Tennessee Walkers. The Y-shaped design helps secure both the front and back of the saddle without placing excessive pressure on the horse’s stomach barrel, or rib cage, which can happen with traditional cinches.
By stabilizing the rear of the saddle while maintaining comfort, the Y cinch can significantly reduce saddle roll, making it a great option for riders who travel over uneven or challenging terrain.
