Improved surcingle sets useful with equestrian equipment, and methods of making the surcingle sets, are provided. One such surcingle set ( 200 ) for use with equestrian equipment includes a male component ( 250 ) and a female component ( 210 ). The male component has an extension ( 260 ) extending from a surface ( 268 ) thereof. The female component has a coupling hole ( 220 ) disposed therethrough, the coupling hole including a first hole ( 222 ) and a smaller second hole ( 224 ) connected to the first hole. An inner surface of the coupling hole has a friction layer ( 214 ) disposed thereover. The friction layer has a greater coefficient of friction than the extension. By increasing the friction between the extension and the coupling hole, the extension has a more secure fit in the hole and the likelihood for unintended slippage between the extension and coupling hole is reduced. |
