Night Latches
What in the world is a night latch?

Two-Tone Night Latch with Slit Braids
  The "night latch" typically was a piece of rope tied around the pommel to keep cowboys on night watch from falling from their saddles while dozing.  It also gives riders something to grab on to when things don't go well.  It is more secure than grabbing the horn.  Our night latches tie around the pommel like a bosal hanger or rope halter, eliminating the need for a buckle.  They are tied securely in place, yet easy to remove, and are especially handy on saddles without horns.

Simple night latch with decorative slit braids to secure hand hold.  Made from top quality dark brown English bridle leather.  Can be made in other colors.  Please specify by email your color preference; i.e. dark oil, medium, light (won't be really light), black, or a combination.  Can be made to fit western saddles and horn-free endurance models.
