The JMS Cinch Ring Protector prevents cinch galls. It protects horses from chafing and rub sores and stays on securely with Velcro for a non-slip fit. JMS's 100% deluxe merino sheepskin keeps your horse comfortable throughout your ride and provides the ultimate protection for your equine partner. This is a thick pile sheepskin on leather that will wear and wear unlike wool that is knit onto a fabric backing.
