My apologies, apparently I made it sound like I was using a traditional Western
saddle.  I'm not.

I am using a Marciante "Distance Rider" Endurance saddle.  I'm not sure what the
term is for the type of rigging, but this is what their site says:

*The rigging is attached directly to the tree in three places, across the front,
middle, and to the rear for exceptional saddle stability and even pressure
displacement.
*The cinch is completely adjustable to the front and to the rear to fit any
horse and any style of riding.
*The cinch ring is lowered and out of the way to prevent the cinch knot from
hitting you in the knee. (Obviously they didn't lower it enough for ME.)

I'm using a Western cinch with elastic and a buckle at each end, along with an
off-billet and a tie strap.  Since this is my first saddle that didn't have
English rigging I didn't know how else I could do it.

So what's the verdict, can I use an off billet instead of that tie strap?

Thanks,
