Saddle straps are an important part of horse tack, and include girths and latigos. Girths, which have 6 letters, are the straps that go around the horse's belly to hold the saddle in place. Latigos, which have 7 letters, are the straps that go over the horse's back and attach to the saddle. Together, girths and latigos form the saddle straps, which are essential for a secure and comfortable ride.
