Do you use a tackleberry buckle on your Western saddle?

I%26#039;m wondering if anyone else uses a tackleberry buckle? It%26#039;s a buckle that goes on your cinch strap (latigo) and has a lip to catch the cinch ring to tighten it quickly without having to unwrap your cinch strap completely each time you saddle. I grew up using these, and lost mine recently (fell off the end of my latigo because someone unwrapped it all the way and didn%26#039;t think to watch out for the latigo). I searched online and found them for sale at this site (if you don%26#039;t know what one is, look at this picture): http://www.kates.net/171?ParentID=158


but they cost $25 because they%26#039;re made of brass.





My husband found one at a tack shop the other day, for $6.95 and bought it, but it was the only one they had. I%26#039;d like to buy a few more, for our other saddles. Anyone know where to get them? A google search only turned up a few dead end results. I%26#039;ll include the links, for those of you who are curious how the tackleberry works. They are awesome time-savers!

thats funny, when i was a kid we called it a cackleberry


I used one, never had a roblem with it


I have a different saddle now and have never got around to putting one one but it was kinda nice.


If a google search didnt turn anything up, go to one of the tack supply sites and ask the store, they probably have them listed under another name.
