How To Tie The Cinch Knot
by Rachel Hegge

 

Materials:
Cinch
Saddle with Cinch Strap
Horse [or in my case, a barstool]

 

 

 

How To:

1) With saddle on horse and cinch attached to the other strap, bring the cinch
so that it is against the horse's belly and run the cinch strap through the
buckle and towards you.

2) Making sure the cinch is snug against the horse's belly, run the strap up
through the rigging once more and through the buckle to take the slack out of it.

3) Run the strap once more though the rigging. But instead going into the
buckle, pull the strap out to the side and then lay it across where we have the
strap going down to the buckle.

4) Running the strap up once more through the rigging, run the end of the strap
down under where we have the strap laying across the part going toward the
buckle and pull it through. It should look like a man's dress tie.

5) Make sure your cinch is snug enough and knot is as well. Remember, practice
makes perfect even if you have to practice on the barstool like I did. ^.^

This literally shows you how exactly to tie your knot.
