Roping Saddle Riggings
You may have noticed that roping saddles are often described as “double rigged.” This means they have a front rigging and a back rigging. The front rigging holds the front cinch and the back rigging holds the back cinch (which might also be called the “flank cinch” or the “flank strap”). Roping saddles are double rigged instead of single rigged (having a front cinch only) because the double rigging is superior to handle the stresses of roping.
