Review on 🐴 Equine SMX Shearling Cinch by Professional's Choice - Comfort Fit for Western Riding by Tom Beland

Well I really liked this spring loaded belt for my sensitive appendix. Great thing was that it didn't rub and stretched much better (it was always tight) until it started to get dirty, I always fluffed it up after every ride but finally got around to it, I had to wash it, it started crusting and scuffing on my horse so I broke down and washed it off. The description on Amazon says it's washable so I bought a sheepskin cleaner and put it in the washing machine on the gentle cycle and a large piece of lint came off the center as shown in the picture. Now that it has gone bad I see on the Pros' Choice website that it says hand wash only -_-. I would rate this 5 stars for how much I enjoy riding it and for my horse if it were structurally more durable/washable or the Permitan label said it was hand wash only (no one remembers in a year or two to such instructions).
