100% Alpaca Fiber Cinches-The Natural Choice


According to ancient Incan legend, alpacas were loaned to humans on Mt. Ausangate in Peru, left on earth as long as they were treated well and respected. Domesticated for over 5000 years, they were used by the Incas for food, fuel, clothing, and transportation, although today their usage commercially is mainly for their fleece.

Alpaca fiber is used for making knitted and woven items, much as wool is. These items include blankets, sweaters, hats, gloves, scarves, a wide variety of textiles and ponchos in South America, and sweaters, socks, coats and bedding in other parts of the world.


Alpaca fleece is a light weight or heavy weight, depending on how it is spun, soft, durable, luxurious and silky natural fiber. While similar to sheep’s wool, it is warmer, not prickly, and has no lanolin which makes it hypoallergenic.

Alpaca wool is considered as soft or softer than cashmere and lighter than sheep’s wool, and is fine and strong. Alpacas come in 22 basic colors, including white, black, brown, grey, tan, and cream. The finest part of alpaca fleece is found on their back and sides. They are sheered much like sheep and the fiber is combed, carded, and after a basic cleaning process is ready to spin.


The qualities of Alpaca fiber make it a natural resource for a horse’s cinch. First, it is a natural organic fiber, not processed, which is better for the environment.


Second the strength and extreme durability of this fiber is a must for the horses cinch.
The softness and breathability of Alpaca fiber makes the cinch comfortable and non abrasive for the horse-making your horse very happy!!!


The Elasticity of alpaca is comfortable to your horse and has a natural give as it moves. Makes training, roping or even pleasure riding a comfortable and rewarding experience for the horse and rider.
