It&#8217;s not uncommon to find both never-been-used and used trophy saddles for sale on the Web or other places. (We&#8217;re saying &#8220;never-been-used&#8221; here instead of &#8220;new&#8221; because technically a trophy saddle isn&#8217;t new if someone has already owned it.) Whoever won the saddle might not need it or they might already have one they already like, so they offer their trophy saddle for sale.<\/p>\n<p>A used trophy saddle often has lettering tooled on it, which may or may not bother you if it&#8217;s the type of saddle you&#8217;ve been looking for and the price is right. If the lettering isn&#8217;t something you care for, and it&#8217;s only on the stirrup fenders, you can buy other stirrup fenders to replace them. And if you feel odd about riding around in a trophy saddle you didn&#8217;t win yourself, you probably shouldn&#8217;t: Lots of people buy used trophy saddles and it&#8217;s not unusual for someone other than the original winner to own and ride them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"howToLabels\">Below: A used trophy roping saddle with lettering on the seat jockey, skirt, and stirrup fenders.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cowboyway.com\/images\/UsedRopingSaddles02.jpg\" alt=\"A used trophy roping saddle with lettering\" width=\"400\" height=\"300px\" \/><\/p>\n<hr class=\"threeFour\" \/>\n<h2>Roping Saddle Riggings<\/h2>\n<p>On a roping saddle, rigging positions are commonly full or 7\/8. Here is a quick description of what those positions mean.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bold\">Full Rigging:<\/span> The front cinch position is the full distance from the cantle to the pommel. This puts the front cinch directly beneath the pommel of the saddle. See the blue line in the photo below.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bold\">7\/8 Rigging:<\/span> The front cinch position is 7\/8 of the distance from the cantle to the pommel. This puts the front cinch a little farther back than a full rigged saddle. See the red line in the photo below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"howToLabels\">Below: A roping saddle illustrating common saddle rigging positions.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cowboyway.com\/images\/SaddleRiggings03.jpg\" alt=\"A roping saddle illustrated with saddle rigging positions\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Saddles that are full or 7\/8 rigged are used for roping because the rigging positions (as well as other design elements of the saddle) are designed to handle the force and stress of roping, both on the saddle and on the horse.<\/p>\n<p>However, since the front cinch on a roping saddle is fairly far forward, roping saddles also have a a second cinch called a &#8220;back cinch&#8221; (sometimes also called a &#8220;flank cinch&#8221;) toward the back of the saddle. A properly fitting and adjusted back cinch prevents the back of the saddle from rising up when roping or riding in rough country. A saddle with a front and back cinch is often called a double-rigged saddle.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bold\">A Note About 3\/4 And Center Fire Rigged Saddles:\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\nYou might have noticed in the image above that there are two more saddle rigging positions we haven&#8217;t mentioned yet: The 3\/4 and the center fire. While both of these rigging positions were once common, they are uncommon in most modern Western saddles.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"threeFour\" \/>\n<p class=\"sddlsHeading1\">You might also like:<\/p>\n<nav id=\"bellows-main-4\" class=\"bellows bellows-nojs bellows-main bellows-source-menu bellows-align-full bellows-skin-vanilla bellows-type-\"><ul id=\"menu-roping-saddles\" class=\"bellows-nav\" data-bellows-config=\"main\"><li id=\"menu-item-474\" class=\"bellows-menu-item bellows-menu-item-type-post_type bellows-menu-item-object-page bellows-menu-item-474 bellows-item-level-0\"><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.cowboyway.com\/saddles\/roping\/\" class=\"bellows-target\"><span class=\"bellows-target-title bellows-target-text\">Roping Saddles &#8211; All<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-1624\" class=\"bellows-menu-item bellows-menu-item-type-post_type bellows-menu-item-object-page bellows-menu-item-1624 bellows-item-level-0\"><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.cowboyway.com\/saddles\/billy-cook-roping\/\" class=\"bellows-target\"><span class=\"bellows-target-title bellows-target-text\">Billy Cook Roping Saddles<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-5381\" class=\"bellows-menu-item bellows-menu-item-type-post_type bellows-menu-item-object-page bellows-menu-item-5381 bellows-item-level-0\"><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.cowboyway.com\/saddles\/cheap-roping-saddles\/\" class=\"bellows-target\"><span class=\"bellows-target-title bellows-target-text\">Cheap Roping Saddles<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-473\" class=\"bellows-menu-item bellows-menu-item-type-post_type bellows-menu-item-object-page bellows-menu-item-473 bellows-item-level-0\"><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.cowboyway.com\/saddles\/dakota-roping-saddles\/\" class=\"bellows-target\"><span class=\"bellows-target-title bellows-target-text\">Dakota Roping Saddles<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-6194\" class=\"bellows-menu-item bellows-menu-item-type-post_type bellows-menu-item-object-page bellows-menu-item-6194 bellows-item-level-0\"><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.cowboyway.com\/saddles\/double-j-roping-saddles\/\" class=\"bellows-target\"><span class=\"bellows-target-title bellows-target-text\">Double J Roping Saddles<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-7723\" class=\"bellows-menu-item bellows-menu-item-type-post_type bellows-menu-item-object-page bellows-menu-item-7723 bellows-item-level-0\"><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.cowboyway.com\/saddles\/high-end-roping-saddles\/\" class=\"bellows-target\"><span class=\"bellows-target-title bellows-target-text\">High-End Roping Saddles<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li id=\"menu-item-6916\" class=\"bellows-menu-item bellows-menu-item-type-post_type bellows-menu-item-object-page bellows-menu-item-6916 bellows-item-level-0\"><a  href=\"http:\/\/www.cowboyway.com\/saddles\/lightweight-roping-saddles\/\" class=\"bellows-target\"><span class=\"bellows-target-title bellows-target-text\">Lightweight Roping Saddles<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/nav>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below are used roping saddles for sale.
