Flexibility creates a better feel. A softer, more responsive headstall helps create a cleaner feel between horse and rider. For young horses learning softness and responsiveness, this becomes especially important.

Latigo leather 101: strong, supple, and moisture-resistant — exactly what connects your saddle to your horse. J.M. Capriola latigos are made from the best available, in 1½″ and 1¾″ widths. Because the details matter.

Young horses test equipment. Pulling back, flexing, sweating, weather exposure, and long training days all put tack under stress. This combination of durability and comfort is why many working horsemen continue to choose latigo for everyday c**t starting and ranch use.

Latigo saddle strings are narrow strips of leather used on Western saddles to tie and secure various items—saddlebags, bedrolls, slickers, rope, and other gear. They're a traditional and functional part of Western saddle design, threaded through dee rings or slots in the saddle's skirts and jockeys.

Head to our website to get yourself some fresh saddle strings!
