A cinch for use with a western saddle of the type employing a front cinch and a flank cinch. A western saddle typically has a cinch strap located on the near-side (left side) of the saddle disposed forwardly from the saddle's center, and an off strap located on the off-side (right side) of the saddle in a position opposing the cinch strap. The cinch strap and off strap are used for attaching the front cinch. A flank cinch billet also extends from either side of the saddle near its rear for attaching to the flank cinch. The cinch disclosed includes a flexible front cinch member for attaching to and extending between the cinch strap and the off strap of the saddle and having a midsection for extending under the rib cage of the horse. The cinch of the present invention further includes flexible near-side and off-side flank cinch members which connect to the midsection of the front cinch member and extend outwardly and rearwardly to the flank cinch billets of the saddle. The near-side and off-side flank cinch members are connected to the midsection of the front cinch member to provide an interconnection area which conforms to the contours of the horse's rib cage and so that the flank cinch members extend along the rib cage of the horse.
