Roping saddles are a must for every cowboy whether you are working on the range or competing at the rodeo. They are constructed to provide the rider with comfort and balance while at work or while in competition. One of the most important assets that you as a cowboy can own is a quality roping saddle.

Roping saddles are one of the most important part of any cowboy’s tools of the trade. For working the range or competing at the rodeo, your roping saddle has to do the job day in and day out, therefore must be constructed from the best materials available.

Roping saddles have a deep seat to ensure good balance and fenders hung to enable the rider to stay in an upright position while attempting to rope your prey. The trees and horns of this type of saddle have to be extra strong to be able to withstand the weight of the animal that is being roped. The rigging on this important piece of equipment needs to be strong enough, not only to support the weight of the rider, but also the animal at the other end of the rope.

There are quite a few quality manufacturers of roping saddles, however there are some that stand out from the crowd.

Billy Cook is a name that is extremely well known in the world of this style of saddle. Cook started his career in Greenville, Texas. He designed, tooled and hand stitched every roping saddle and was soon known worldwide. Cook later went into business in Sulphur, Oklahoma where he continues to make some of the best quality, and best known, working saddles in the world.

  Dakota, located in Ider, Alabama, has been in business for more than 13 years, and is another name that is well known when it comes to quality saddles. Dakota roping saddles are handcrafted from the finest materials and can be semi-customized to fit your personal needs. Dakota roping saddles use Steel Equi-Fit trees and have a 5 year warranty on the steel tree, and also have the “American Made” symbol, which has always been a symbol of quality.

What ever your choice when purchasing this important piece of equipment, you will want to keep it in good condition because it is likely the most valuable asset you own apart from the horse that wears your roping saddle.
