A used 16 inch roping saddle from Lamb Saddle Co, built the way a rope saddle has to be: a rawhide-covered wood tree, which is what lets a saddle take the shock of a calf hitting the end of the rope without the tree giving way. Ralide and synthetic trees are lighter and cheaper; rawhide over wood is what ropers still ask for.
The numbers that decide the fit: a medium tree, suiting an average-withered quarter horse type, and a 27 inch skirt, which needs a horse with enough back length behind the shoulder to carry it. The 16 inch suede seat holds a rider in place when the rope comes tight, and the 3 inch cantle is low enough to get off in a hurry.
At about 29 lbs it is mid-weight for a roping saddle: heavier than a barrel saddle, lighter than the 40 lb ranch rigs. The D-ring rigging sits the cinch in the standard full position, and the hardware is stainless, so it will not rust out on you.
Used, and only one of it. Check the medium tree against your horse before you buy.

We make buying used saddles simple
Welcome to buying risk-free used saddles. Our saddle experts find only the best used saddles for sale. Once we receive a used saddle, it goes through the following reconditioning process:
- Step 1: A thorough cleaning and oiling.
- Step 2: Inspection of the saddle tree and leather parts for soundness. Saddle experts replace/repair as needed.
- Step 3: Proper measuring. We measure the trees and seats. The average rider does not know how to properly measure a saddle and many times what the saddle is advertised as on Ebay or the classifieds is completely inaccurate.
- Step 4: A professional photography session. Photos are not doctored to misrepresent the saddle. (If the saddle above has amateur photos, the saddle is most likely waiting in line for them).
- Step 5: The saddle is offered with free shipping and a two week return policy. We dare you to find such a generous used saddle guarantee. Buying a used saddle doesn’t get better (or safer!) than this.
