Good job on the repair and thanks for helping the young lady.

That does look like nice work cuzzin'....
Last time I rode went to unsaddle and the fricken latigo was broke....
I loop it through twice so all that was holding was basically friction and the double loop if that makes sense.
It was slightly unnerving.....
And of course I knew the leather was getting bad but you know how it goes.....
Ordered up a new latigo, off-side billet and rear billets and cinch.

Big thumbs up Jim. I love seeing a messy work area too. I like clean ones, but messy ones mean a person's been busy. And while saddles are great for little girls................ I prefer grown ladies that go bareback.

Dont know why people dont just use the "knot". Agree, I always remove the prong from all of my front cinches. But as far as the knot, I use and have taught my kids to use a half knot under the rear of the D ring. Less bulk under my leg and you can pull the latigo with one sharp jerk. Only been two time in my life when I really had to pull a saddle quickly in an emergency situation. But I appreciate the smaller knot located to the rear of the D ring every time I sit on the saddle.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.

Dont know why people dont just use the "knot". The knot is the safer way to go, but as long as you pay attention to your gear and replace the latigo when it gets stretched or cracked no harm using the buckle. Most of the time I do it myself. But I use the rear cinch too........
