A strap for tightening a saddle girth.

The leather strap attached to the saddle that holds the cinch tightly. On other types of saddles, these are called billet straps. The latigo is attached to the right side (or "off side") of the saddle, where it is called the "off billet" or "tug." It is then tightened on the left side (the side from which a rider mounts).
