Total Saddle Fit has recalled about 10,000 Shoulder Relief Saddle Cinches designed for Western saddles. These black and brown leather cinches, which measure between 24 and 36 inches, can come apart while in use, causing the saddle and rider to fall off the horse. There have been 19 reports of the cinches failing, including one report of a rider suffering fractured ribs. Consumers should stop using the affected cinches immediately and contact the company for a free replacement.
The leather cinch can break or separate, which allows the saddle to become unstable or fall off completely. This poses a serious risk of the rider falling from the horse, which has already caused one reported injury of fractured ribs.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled Shoulder Relief Cinch and contact Total Saddle Fit for a free replacement, and instructions on how to return the original cinch (pre-paid shipping label will be provided). Total Saddle Fit is contacting all known purchasers.
Includes only cinches sold prior to August 2021 with a round buckle and no center elastic.
