why can't I cinch this thing?

TMares, I thought I saw all the cinching videos, but that one was a good one, too. Believe it or not I think I had success this weekend, but I am not sure what I did. I was going to show my new western friend at my barn what I am doing and as expected… the problem doesn’t happen when someone else is watching, and I looked like a pro. We’ll see tomorrow!

My husband always liked the leather latigos and he used powder (baby or Anti-Monkey Butt) on the leather to make it slide a bit easier.
