If you ride more than one horse in your saddle, you need the Classic Equine cinch and latigo protector to help eliminate girth itch by protecting the latigo from passing fungus or other bacteria from one horse to another. The protector is made of breathable fabric, with jersey against the horse's skin for comfort, a lightweight foam center, and mesh exterior. It attaches to your saddle's D ring with two hook-and-loop straps, then secures over the tightened latigo, and it's easily washable.
