Our Lash Cinch is made from heavy-duty two-ply woven cotton webbing with a brass hook on one end and a heavy D ring on the other. Heavy leather ends are hand riveted with #9 copper rivets and sewn; with proper care these will last a lifetime. Specify 30", 33" or 36" length. Lash Cinches, in conjunction with lash ropes, are used to secure your load, especially items packed on top of your pack saddle. The Lash Cinch works as a cinch under your horse or mule's belly, while the lash rope is hooked to it and then tied in a variety of hitches (diamond, box, etc), depending on the load.
