Mick Jager was presumed to have ulcers because he was crabby when saddling. I recieved this wonderful kind testimonial from his owner Bj Salomon:
"Props and a shout out goes to the Amazing, Knowledgable , Extremely Talented and Creative Horsewoman Leslie Maynard!!!!Thank You for getting me my magic cinch. Not only did my green horse handle wet packed ground and win the 2D BUT Here's the Best Part when I went to cinch him up he was NEVER CRANKY !!! LADIES it was so bad I thought I was going to have to scope him for ulcers. NOT!!!Just needed one of Leslie's custom fitted and made cinches. Bless u friend! Your incredible abilities and aptitude as a horsewoman blows me away! P.S. Can we do Sterling next Please? I think they r one of the most important pieces of equipment to have!"
FastTime is a little cutting bred barrel horse that has been moving choppy. He moved free and easy on his very first ride with his new Mohair Copper Canyon Cinch. He was more fluid in his barrel turns! I had a chance to personally ride Fasttime and he felt amazing!
I started researching mohair cinch making because of Copper, but Gunner was the victim of or first experiment with hand woven mohair cinches. Gunner is mutton withered, round backed, and a few years ago had pigeon fever really bad and had to have his chest and girth area lanced and drained repeatedly for 4 months. Consequently, he is very sensitive in those areas, he is crabby to saddle, and he lopes like the cartoon skunk Pepe' le Peu. He is so miserable to ride that he was passed on as the kid's horse.
Gunner's response to his first saddling with a hand tied and woven cinch was such a dramatic change. He just stood there licking and chewing! The was no more roll to the saddle, and after a few minutes he started to relax and work like a champ! He has been so nice to ride that he is now getting prepared for competition!

Copper finally was able to make his first competition run in his very own namesake mohair cinch! Absolutely Amazing! This is a wicked quick barrel horse that slices the left turns, dropping his shoulder and getting stiff irregardless of training and therapy. Copper also is a very cinchy, stiff moving horse that will fall on you if you clean his feet while saddled. All problems resolved, he is freer moving, has soft supple turns, and he didnt collapse when when picking up his feet to clean. Total success!
