I was wondering if anyone knew where the name "night latch" came from? I have installed several on different customer's trail saddles (evidently several have been used with great success). Why not just call it the "Oh s?$t here we go again hand hold". I even use mine to get my big 245# frame up in the saddle sometimes. I make mine out of 10-12oz chrome tanned leather, doubled and stiched about 1-1 1/2" wide. Do any other saddle makers do the same thing?? :whatdoyouthink:

Looks like much the same purpose as a monkey strap/grip. Funny where terminology comes from.

Here's an article and video from Western Horseman.

Go to the bottom of the page and look for the "Into the Night" article
