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.
