Never Lose Your Gear to a Broken Saddle String Again

There's nothing worse than a saddle string snapping when you're a mile from the barn with a slicker to tie down or a canteen to secure. These Weaver Leather Latigo Saddle Strings are the gold standard for riders who need ties that hold up under real ranch conditions. Made from premium burgundy latigo leather, they're chrome-tanned and heavily oiled to stay strong and flexible no matter what the weather throws at you.

At 1/2" wide and 60" long, these "master size" strings give you the length to cut-to-fit for any job—whether you're threading through slotted conchos, tying down bedrolls, or making quick tack repairs in the field. With 12 strings per pack, you'll have plenty on hand to outfit your whole string or keep spares in the trailer.

Why Riders Choose Weaver Latigo Saddle Strings

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I attach these saddle strings to my saddle?

Most riders thread the Weaver Leather Latigo Saddle String through a slotted concho or dee ring on the saddle, then tie it off with a simple knot or a bleed knot for a secure, permanent hold. The 60-inch length gives you plenty of material to work with for any rigging style.

Q: Can I use these for other tack repairs besides saddle ties?

Absolutely. While designed as saddle strings, their 1/2" width and 60" length make them perfect for emergency repairs, securing saddlebags, fixing bridle keepers, or even creating custom leather accents in your workshop.

Q: Do these strings need conditioning before I use them?

These latigo strings come pre-oiled and ready for the trail right out of the pack. A light coat of leather conditioner once or twice a year will help maintain their suppleness if you're riding in extreme heat or wet conditions, but they're built to perform from day one.
