Have you ever had trouble getting a new double off latigo (billet) on your saddle? Since it doesn’t need to come on and off very often you may run into a problem getting a new one attached.
To be safe you want to attach it to the off side saddle Dee so the leather is doubled over. It’s not as safe to simply thread it onto your saddle Dee. That will leave you with only a single piece of leather holding your saddle on. Follow along in the guideline below to learn how to attach your double off latigo the safe way.
1. Thread it onto the ring of your cinch buckle. Make sure the ends are even.
2. Run the doubled ends through your saddle’s right Dee ring. Go from outside to inside.
3. Bring the ends back through the cinch buckle ring. Place the buckle tongue in the desired holes. Make sure the tongue goes through the same holes on each side of the fold.
4. Tuck the ends through the keeper on your cinch so they’ll be out of your way.
