Total Saddle Fit / Shoulder Relief Cinch Recall

[Leather]

I got an email about a voluntary recall of the Shoulder Relief cinches made on or before August 21 and thought I’d pass it along. Sounds like they will replace the cinch for free.

More info/specifics on affected models and what to do:

That’s not good. I think they are pretty popular. I have at least 3 if not more. All older.

Yeah they have been great chinches for me and I’ve recommended them to others here. Worked fantastic for a mare I had that was shaped like a 50 gallon drum with a forward girth groove. Glad that the company is doing the right thing.

Can anyone remember any other recalls for tack? I am just curious.

Total Saddle Fit is doing the right thing, accepting blame and fixing the problem. Kudos to the company.

I was curious too, and by happenstance FB just had this suggested for me:
