To
eliminate galling
your horse, the cross
strap of the cinch
should be centered
under the horse's
belly. Care should
be taken to place
the small dees in
the center when the
cinch is pulled tight
or it could rub the
inside of the front
leg. The cinch buckles
should be positioned
at the same place
on each side, about
1/3 of the distance
up from the bottom
line. this is slightly
above and behind
the elbow.
