 TO FASTEN THE LATICO 



The Latigo is the strap by which the girth or cincha 

 of a saddle is made fast to a ring attached to the saddle 

 or to the other end of a girth or cincha. 



In cinching, the Latigo is passed through the ring 

 from the outside through to the inside. Then down 

 to the ring in which the Latigo itself is permanently 

 attached; through that from the inside to the outside 

 and up. 



Then from the outside through the upper ring but 

 passing under and out at the right of the ring. 



Bring the strap around to the left horizontally and 

 then pass it to the left around back of the ring and 

 then out through the ring to the front. 



The position of the Latigo is now shown in Fig. 1.
