Roping saddle?

Question

What is the best kind of roping saddle? Ive been looking at alamo saddles, i have had one in the past... what would you suggest? (price range- not over 500 dollars.)

Answer 1

Hi there,

Well, the older Billy Cooks are the good ones, we have new and older ones.

My husband has a Crates Roping Saddle, my two daughters use Billy Cook roping saddles.

I just bought my son a Rico Roping Saddle and it is NICE!  Rico is owned by Billy Cooks son in law and I LOVE this saddle!

I RECOMMEND this seller and by the way his name is Teskey....   AND I got my saddle from him, FAST and just as described.  By the way the retail tag on it was $1800, I picked it up for $850!  BRAND new and UNUSED!!!!!

EDIT>>>

I forgot to post the link!

Answer 5

ML leddy

benton moore

barnes

amerman

twister

These are thye best brands you can get but they are VERY expinsive I sho calf roping horses (in fact i just got back from the APHA world show to day I got 8th in the junior and 5th in amature)

and my favorite is the benton moore but for lo end prices you can get a billy cook circle y circle t (teskey's saddle) or other CHEAP saddles that wont last you long you wil have to keep buying these cheap saddles if you get a good sadle it wil last you forever i have had my barnes for 10 years and it is still in great condition I rode it at the world show today well good luck finding a saddle.

Answer 6

Mandie right about Circle Y, Tex Tan, Older Simcos, Pots Longhorn, etc.  You may want to look at ebay but be sure you know what size of saddle both you and your horse are going to take.  You want something with a bullhide covered wood tree and a high horn so you can wrap it in an intertube so your rope will hold better and it won't scar up the neck of your horn.  Full double rigging from the tree, NOT the skirt.

Best of luck,

Answer 7

a used Cirlce Y or Textan are always nice saddles.

Answer 8

Billy cooks are the best i think.
