Latigo saddle strings are narrow strips of leather used on Western saddles to tie and secure various itemsโ€”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!
