Extreme Veteran Posts: 304 Location: Up and over to the right	What do you guys like for barrels and more importantly ROPING (for those who do both or husbands who do). Nettles, Walls, something slanted, aluminum, rawhide? Really looking for a nice set for each of my saddles, I have leather covered on the barrel and rawhide on my roper and want to see what others like!

Rad Dork Posts: 5218 Location: Oklahoma	I've always had rawhide until my Crown C came with aluminum. I love them. So much more grip than the rawhides.... But I would love to try some Nettles someday! Never heard a bad thing about them!

Location: KS	I use the original crooked ones (barrel ones) on my rope saddle. The width gives me a lot of stability. I didn't realize how much of a difference it made until I heeled some in my husbands saddle that just had regular stirrups. Have them on my barrel saddles too.

I didn't realize how much of a difference it made until I heeled some in my husbands saddle that just had regular stirrups. Have them on my barrel saddles too. I use these same stirrups on all 3 of my saddles (1 barrel & 2 roping). Hubby won't ride anything besides the crooked on his saddles either.

Money Eating Baggage Owner Posts: 9586 Location: Phoenix	I recently rode in a treeless saddle and it had slanted aluminum stirrups and now I think I need a pair!!!! Love how close your legs can get to the horse!

Elite Veteran Posts: 1028	LOVE my slanted aluminum stirrups. They're way easier on my knees and I feel much more stable. Like a previous poster said, I didn't know how much torque they relieved until I jumped on somebody's saddle without them.

I have the barrel racer Crooked Stirrup for years. The tread is 3" and feels so stable. I seldom loose a stirrup.
