Girths

What kind of girth do you guys think is best?

Should it be neoprene? Have you guys ever heard of the Weaver Smart Cinch? Does the Weaver cinch come in neoprene?

Neoprene girths are good, cause they kinda "stick" to the horse!

My english and western girths are professional's choice. I'll go get a pictre of them...

The english ones work a lot better. I always have a hard time tighteneing he western one.

Well I am looking for a Western girth. I was interested in the Weaver Smart cinch but I didn't know if they made them in neoprene.

Neoprene girths are great. All of my saddles, both english and western are neoprene. They are easily washable, which is great, plus they seem to fit better, are more comfy for the horse and the don't seem to rub, pinch or chafe.
I know that Weaver makes neoprene girths, I am not sure about the smart cinch. But, I helped a lady tack up her horse a couple weekends ago and she had a smart cinch, I honestly didn't think that it worked any better than a normal one. As long as your cinch or girth has rollers on it, it's easy to do up.

Most of the ones I have seen don't have roller buckles.

I own several of the smart cinches. I like them. They do not come in neoprene, but I think you can buy the covers for them if they are normal size. I don't. I like them just as they are made.

Mine are the wide roping type
