The three straps are called billets. One buckle goes on each of the outside billets. The middle one is there incase one of them breaks. The non elastic side goes on the right. The elastic side goes on the left.

WOOO HOO! You bought it! How cool!

I've read ahead a little and understand you need a new cinch... let us know if you need help with the rest of the straps and things!

I think you got answers to some of these questions as I quickly scanned down, but on the three cinch straps, you can use any two. I used to use the front two, but since I've been trying to move Bay's cinch ~back~ after the rub, I'm now using the back two. It really depends on preference and any conformation considerations which two you use, as long as you are the same side to side, otherwise I'd think it might pull catty-wampus. Some people use the front and the back, either way, the third is a spare.

I'll take some pics of mine if there aren't good instructions on threading the stirrups up through the mount.
