Regular Posts: 82	I rope in roping saddles and run barrels in barrel saddles. The fenders on a roping saddle are stiffer and less free swinging, so they tend to be easier to stay up and rope in. Plus it’s a whole lot easier to have separate saddles when you run barrels and rope off of different horses.

Off the Wall Wacky Posts: 2981 Location: Louisiana	When I was in HS I had a Billy Cook "ladies all around" that I LOVED. I roped (or tried to LOL) and ran barrels in it. It was lighter made than a typical roping saddle, but plenty sturdy enough for breakaway.

Married to a Louie Lover Posts: 3303	I run barrels in a Jeff Smith C3 and rope in an Infinity roper. These fit my style in each event. I’ve looked at all arounds and if we needed a saddle to “go both ways” I wouldn’t be opposed, but probably not my first choice.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1100 Location: Southeastern Idaho	I rope in a Three Forks rope saddle and it has made a huge difference in my roping. I have roped out of my barrel saddles but I don't stay in position like I do in my roping saddle. I use different saddles for the different events.
