Neoprene Straight Horse CinchNeoprene Straight Horse Cinch When selecting a horse cinch, neoprene is a popular material with a wide range of riders. Known for its comfort, neoprene helps prevent the buildup of dirt and debris while also reducing the possible spread of fungus. Neoprene is easy to clean, but it's important to note, that it doesn't dissipate heat as readily as more natural materials, so keep this in mind if the cinch will regularly be used in higher temperatures.
