A cinch or girth assembly for attaching a saddle to an animal includes a cinch or girth having structure secured thereto for connecting to a saddle. The assembly also includes an elastomeric sheet of non-rub material that is positioned to lie between the animal and the cinch or girth to help reduce abrasive contact between the cinch or girth and the animal. The assembly further includes a protective guard with a wear-resistant sheet made from a different material than that of the elastomeric sheet. Structure is provided for attaching the guard to the elastomeric sheet so that the guard lies away from the animal and extends adjacent a longitudinal length of the cinch or girth. In preferred embodiments, the elastomeric sheet is made of neoprene and the protective guard is made from leather, nylon, or jersey material.
