| I'm trying to find my husband a roping saddle he can piddle on. I can't spend a lot so I'm trying to find something used but still good quality. I seen a couple of the Corriente roping saddles? I know the barrel saddles they make are pretty good. |

| I've had 2 corriente roping saddles, loved them! When it was time for another roping saddle, I found a great deal at a feed store that had a nice double J for sale.. if I didn't find that gem, I'd definitely would have ordered another corriente. Can't really go wrong for the price. |

| According to my fiancé they're junk, but I've never seen one to know for sure, came up in conversation about how he dislikes saddle ropings that don't give you a cash option because they're usually corriente saddles.
Is he going to just piddle around in it or actually rope out of it?
I'm a stickler for quality all around, but with the beating rope saddles being roped out of take, I'm an even bigger stickler since saddle and pad are all that protect a horses back from the jerk.
All we have now are Infinity's and 1 Martin trophy saddle that's about 10 years old. We've had Cactus and Slone's as well though and liked them, just LOVE our infinity's now. |

| He's not really a roper but I would like the option if we go to a friend's house or something. He mostly wants it to just ride and drag stuff on colts and that sorta thing. |

Location: North Dakota | I heel in a Corriente saddle-like it-my hubby has a cactus and a scott thomas. I really like the scott thomas saddle (but then so does my daughter) the cactus he bought from Smith Brothers and the scott thomas off a guy that won the saddle for $600-who cares if it's a trophy saddle-usually fits a horse GREAT! Be sure to check out for used OR trophy saddles-most guys need the money for their next roping!! |

+1 on the Infinity. Well built saddle for the money. Cody is also one heck of a good roper and horseman.
One word of caution..... a poorly fitting or cheap roping saddle can ruin a good rope horse so much quicker than a poor barrel saddle ever did. It can be down right dangerous. |
