Would like to find a saddle I can barrel race and rope in, anyone ride in one of these? What are your thoughts, good and bad?? 

Thanks in advance!

I had one for several years. I breakaway roped, ran barrels, and ranched in it. Held up very well and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. I do feel like I can run barrels better in my barrel saddle though. I don't see many used ones for sale, so I think people hold onto them once they get them.
