What does LATIGO mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A long leather strap on a Western saddle used to tighten and fasten the cinch around a horse's body.
A rider threads the latigo through metal rings on the saddle and the cinch and pulls it tight to hold the saddle securely in place. The word comes from Spanish and entered English through the vocabulary of ranching and Western riding in the Americas. Skilled riders can also tie a knot in the latigo instead of buckling it, a method still taught in some traditional saddlery.
