Selling your roping saddle?
I need a gently used roping saddle, between 14" and 15". I could use a barrel/roping combination saddle too, so if you know of anyone selling one or a good website let me know!
There is such a thing as barrel/roping combo saddles. Connie Combs has come out with one recently, and one that I'm looking for is going to be used for breakaway roping, which is not going to put any stress on my saddle.
Okay, you're asking for something that really doesn't make sense.
A barrel saddle typically is lighter weight with a fiberglass tree which is NOT designed for dallying on. Fiberglass SPLITS, then crumbles. Ever seen a car that's made of fiberglass and what happens to the body? SAME idea! They are also rigged off the tree, which means over time the rigging wears through the skirt leather, so imagine what would happed after just light use roping.
A roping saddle, is made to be TOUGH. It's a rawhide or bullhide covered wood tree with normally a steel or brass horn attached. This is designed for dallying with a rope once you wrap the horn in an old piece of intertube so that the rope won't slip. The rigging is typically a FULL rigging, with dee rings coming off the saddle tree (I've yet to see one of these pull through or wear out.).
I went to ebay and looked at a few:

Now this one following is more suited to versitility, but it's old, heavy, slick seated and harder than all get out to stay in if you don't have a good seat to start with.

Now to compare with, here's an Ozark/Saddle King barrel saddle (Didn't Tex tan come out with coloured seats in the late 60's or early 70's???)

Notice it says it has a "Poly Ride" tree, that's short for it's fiberglass and don't let your horse roll with it on! LOL
I hope this gives you an idea of the differences between how a barrel and a rope saddle are made.
