Sometimes you and even an honest seller can disagree about what type of a saddle a certain saddle is. Make sure it&#8217;s really type kind of saddle you would like to have.<\/li>\n<li>Look carefully at all the picture(s) of the saddle. You can eliminate a lot of surprises later by taking a close look at everything.<\/li>\n<li>What does, or does not, come with the saddle? Fo example, maybe you get a latigo but not a cinch or breast collar. However, some saddles come as a set with matching accessories. Read the description so you know exactly what you are, and are not, getting.<\/li>\n<li>Read the description so you know things about the saddle such as:\n<ul class=\"noIndent\">\n<li>Type of saddle tree (rawhide covered, bull hide covered, Quarter Horse bars, full Quarter horse bars, Wade tree, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Type of rigging (full, 7\/8, in-skirt, out-skirt, dropped or flat plate, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>The hardware on the saddle (stainless steel, brass, something else, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>The height and type of saddle horn (post horn, short post horn, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>The size and style of the swell (aka the pommel)<\/li>\n<li>The height and style of the cantle<\/li>\n<li>Seat size (15 inch, 16 inch, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>Type of seat (hard seat, padded seat, roughout or slick, etc.)<\/li>\n<li>How much the saddle weighs<\/li>\n<li>Tooling, if any<\/li>\n<li>Finish (medium oil, dark oil, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr class=\"threeFour\" \/>\n<h3>Ranch Saddle Riggings<\/h3>\n<p>Thanks to the needs of the working cowboy, riggings on most ranch saddles today are either &#8220;full-rigged,&#8221; &#8220;7\/8 rigged,&#8221; or &#8220;3\/4 rigged.&#8221; This means that the front cinch is farther forward toward the front of the saddle than an older style of rigging called &#8220;center fire.&#8221; Full-rigged, 7\/8 rigged, and 3\/4 rigged saddles are designed to handle the force and stress of roping, both on the saddle and on the horse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"howToLabels\">Below: Rigging positions on ranch saddles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cowboyway.com\/images\/RanchSaddle02.jpg\" alt=\"Ranch saddle riggings\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<hr class=\"threeFour\" \/>\n<p class=\"sddlsHeading1\">You might also like:<\/p>\n<nav id=\"bellows-main-13\" class=\"bellows bellows-nojs bellows-main bellows-source-menu bellows-align-full bellows-skin-vanilla bellows-type-\"><ul id=\"menu-ranch-saddles\" class=\"bellows-nav\" data-bellows-config=\"main\"><li id=\"menu-item-5031\" class=\"bellows-menu-item bellows-menu-item-type-post_type bellows-menu-item-object-page bellows-menu-item-5031 bellows-item-level-0\"><a  href=\"https:\/\/www.cowboyway.com\/saddles\/ranch-saddles\/\" class=\"bellows-target\"><span class=\"bellows-target-title bellows-target-text\">Ranch Saddles &#8211;
