| I know this isn't really barrel racing, but I'm considering buying a rope saddle and I have no experience with this at all. So what it the best inexpensive saddle out there? I really don't want to spend a whole lot of money but it has to be decent quality. Thanks for any help :) |

Location: lone star state | They are just like barrel saddles. Everyone likes something different. I suggest buy a quality used saddle in order to save. Check tree cause many used have damage. Dont buy poor quality to save in a roping saddle if u intend to use it for team roping. Texas ranch outfitters has the most high quality used saddles I have seen in any one store. Just remember u get what you pay for. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | We have a Courts roping saddle that rides and fits great. It wasn't the cheapest thing in the world but there's also a lot more expensive saddles out there. |

| For Breakaway Todd Slone hands down, he makes a ladies roper that is made for Breakaway roping. I love mine. I like to team rope in it also but prefer a Coats but I can't afford one. I love love my Slone though. |

Location: Finally horseback again.... | Love my Tod Slone saddle. He makes a tree wide enough for mutton withered horses that doesnt pinch.
Also have an old Vega that I love.
My son in law rides Corriente saddles and loves them. |

Location: Phoenix | Tod Slone! Make sure you get a ladies roper--it's built narrower to fit our hips better. My whole family ropes and besides a Cactus, Stoney and an Ott saddle, the rest are Slone saddles. It will last you the rest of your life. |

I love love love it, ten years later and it still looks new! |

| I rope on what I win. USTRC gives away Martins and I have always liked them. |
