We love our cinches from Cinches Down Under! They are made with such quality and durability making them an essential tool in our horse training business.

Why Mohair?

• Durability, bends and twists without damage, the most durable animal fibre
• Comfort, kind on sensitive skin for horses and humans
• Strength, fibre-for-fibre stronger than steel of the same diameter
• Shrink resistance, smooth fibres don’t felt, holds shape wash after wash
• Elasticity, stretches up to 30% and springs back, no sagging or wrinkling
• Moisture transfer, wicks sweat and breathes in heat and cold, ideal for girths and cinches on long rides
• Lightweight, smooth fibres with a cooling feel in summer
• Fire safe, stops burning when the flame is removed
• Easy to wash, a gentle cold rinse usually does the job
• Dirt-shedding, dust brushes off easily, odours don’t hang around
• Insulating, keeps warmth even when wet
• Lustre, takes dye beautifully, colours stay bright

We’re proud to have Cinches Down Under as a major sponsor of Cowgirls Gathering.

Drop any emoji to say thanks, then tell us your favourite colour combo for your next mohair cinch 🤎🤍🖤 If you can dream it, they can make it!

My heart 🥹 what a good pony taking the best care of his little rider. Cattle work is for kids and ponies too!! We are so glad Sof had such a good time. Seeing the next generation out there learning good horsemanship makes everything so worth it.

The weather really turned up for us on Sunday!! We met some new people and horses and welcomed back familiar faces ☀️ bring on the warmer weather I say!

This weekend we had to divide and conquer, and it was a big one for both sides of the FFH team.

✨ Thomas stayed at home and taught private 1:1 cattle working lessons all day Saturday. On Sunday he teamed up with the Sydney Working Equitation for a cattle working mini clinic – a great day of learning, progress, and plenty of good cattle work. Everyone involved made huge progress with their horses. Thomas rode some of the horses we have in training over the weekend. They all handled their first time working cows so well! And they thoroughly enjoyed themselves even if they aren’t technically bred for it 😅

🌟 Ash took Luna out to her very first ranch show, hosted by Sydney Regional Appaloosa Club. It was such a positive experience, and a big step forward in the journey of ranch horse showing for them both. Everyone was so encouraging and it was so nice to see familiar faces out there cheering each other on!

We’re grateful for every opportunity to share, teach, and grow. Whether that’s helping riders at home, working alongside clubs, or stepping into the show ring ourselves.

What did you get up to this weekend?!

The best support boots in our opinion. I’ll have to share a photo of Boone and how these boots prevented a potential leg injury whilst working cows.
