A roping saddle is a type of western saddle. A good roping saddle is sturdy, has a thicker horn for securing a rope, a low cantle, and a slick fork that allows rider to dismount quickly. A quality roping saddle has a deep seat and horns and trees that are extra strong to take the force of the pull. Generally suede padded seats are preferred to get a better grip. The swells of the saddle are kept reasonably low so that the leverage of the rope on the horn is minimal.

∙ 13y agoA roping saddle is designed to enable the rider with maximum freedom in order to easily move to rope a calf or steer. It has a low back to allow for a quick dismount, a deep seat, and a solid horn and tree to support and allow dallying off the rope after roping the steer or calf.
A cutting saddle is designed to enable the rider to stay on his horse. Cutting horses do the work, the rider just rides. The saddle has a shallow seat to help center the rider over the horse, with a tall horn to give the rider something to hold onto.
