Martin Saddlery values your safety, therefore only uses the best quality leather to ensure quality and dependability. The leather latigo is one of the most valuable pieces of equipment when it comes to safety and is made with strong, dependable leather. Measuring 1-3/4-inch x 6'-6-inch the latigo stitched is thin, yet strong and causes less bulk in the girth area, allowing free leg movement. Martin has also tapered the ends of the latigo to make it easier to pull tight.
