Today's Roping Saddles
You can pay some very hefty prices for a roping saddle - it certainly pays to shop around. It should always be on a web shopper's list to check ebay - not only will you save money on used roping saddles, but the prices on new ones can be well below what you find elsewhere, even on the net. Merchants use ebay as a way to sell excess, last year's models, etc.
From new to vintage, youth to expert, you can safely purchase a new, used or restored roping saddle and save an incredible amount of money.
Why mess around with a lesser brand, when you can pay the same low prices you pay for an inferior brand or model, but get the exact roping saddle you really want? On ebay, you'll find many trusted sellers who specialize in saddles - check their feedback ratings, experience, etc before you buy, and you'll have virtually no risk.
About Roping Saddles
Roping saddles are a type of western saddle design specifically for roping, where a rider must dismount quickly, often while
the horse is still in motion, and not be caught up on the saddle. A saddle with a "slick fork" - virtually no swells - and a low cantle is
therefore suited for calf roping. A deep
seat and having the fenders hung in a
position to ensure that the rider can be up and balanced when ready
to rope is essential. The horns and trees are very strong to take the pull. Also
the rigging must be one that pulls off the top of the tree bars and has
great strength. Generally suede or rough-out padded seats are preferred to give
more grip.
Rigging
The rigging, or how the hardware attaching the cinch or cinches is placed on the saddle, is a critical component of saddle design. The closer the rigging is to the center of the saddle, the more the rider will be balanced over the horse's center of balance, allowing freer movement and agility of horse and rider. On the other hand, the more "full" or forward the rigging is set, especially when combined with a back cinch (sometimes called a flank cinch, even though it should never go around the horse's flanks), the more the saddle will set down on the horse, placing the rider a bit behind the horse's center of balance, but creating greater security.
A "full double" rigging is seen most often on saddles used for team roping, where the weight of the steer puts tremendous forward stress on the saddle, requiring rigging set well forward and both a front and back cinch to support the saddle.
