SURCINGLE Meaning and Definition

  1. A surcingle is a noun that refers to a wide strap or girth that is typically made of leather or canvas and is used to secure a saddle onto a horse's back. It is commonly used in equestrian activities and horse riding.

    The surcingle is placed around the horse's girth area, also known as the belly or midsection, and fastened tightly to keep the saddle in place during riding or other activities such as training or lunging. It is often adjustable in length and features multiple buckles or straps that allow it to be fitted and secured snugly to the horse's body.

    The main purpose of a surcingle is to provide stability and support to the saddle by distributing the rider's weight evenly across the horse's back. It prevents the saddle from sliding or shifting, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for both horse and rider.

    In addition to its function in horseback riding, a surcingle may also be utilized in other contexts such as driving or cart-pulling activities, where it serves a similar purpose of keeping equipment or harnesses in place.

    Overall, the surcingle plays a crucial role in horse-related disciplines, ensuring the safety and comfort of the horse and rider by securely fastening the saddle or equipment to the horse's body.

  2. A belt or band which passes over a saddle, or anything laid on a horse's back, in order to bind it fast; the girdle of a cassock.
