The Western Seat Saver cushion attaches with 4 non stretchy webbing straps and cinching buckles: around the horn, the cantle, and on each thigh piece to the breast collar, cinch ring or front D rings. Cantle straps keep the cantle cushion from flipping under when the rider mounts. The Seat Saver may be attached very securely on saddles without a horn by unbuckling the horn strap and running the two separate pieces through front D rings, buckling in front of the horn, or tuck the horn strap under the Seat Saver if you are not using it. The three other buckles will hold it quite securely alone.
