What Should I Look for When Choosing a Horse Saddle for Team Roping?

Team roping is different from any other activity because you need to use a full range of motion while staying on your horse. You’ll need a saddle that allows you to turn and move freely. You’ll also want features like a deep pocket seat so you can maintain proper positioning. It’s a feature you’ll find with all the team roping saddles we offer at Frontier Trailers & Roping Supply.

You’ll also find that all of our saddles feature a front and rear cinch, as well as a breast collar, for the proper fit and stability needed when riding in fast-paced events. Lastly, you’ll need a roping saddle with a sturdy tree so that you can dally or attach your tie-on or quick-release device for roping. A well-constructed tree enhances the rider’s control and stability, which makes finding the right design essential for competitions. Browse our selection of top-of-the-line roping saddles that enhance rider stability and control. 

Are Barrel Racing Saddles Different?

You’ll need a slightly different type of saddle for barrel racing. Barrel Racing saddles typically feature a deep seat and tall tree to support you around tight corners, with explosive exits. Speed is the name of the game in Barrel Racing, and a lightweight saddle that keeps you in the middle of your seat is crucial for your success.

How Do I Know Which Horse Saddle Is Right for Me?

The right horse saddle should feel comfortable and supportive. The size and depth of the seat pocket will depend on your personal preferences, and what the saddle is being used for. You should also consider the stirrup design. It’s easy to customize your horse saddle with a pair of Western stirrups if the stirrups that came with your new saddle don’t feel right. For example, you can change the width for a comfortable fit or change the material for better grip and durability. Additionally, modifying the angle and height of the stirrups can promote an optimal riding posture for team roping or barrel racing.
