To the Cowboy, the saddle was his everything
The most important asset for an interview to bring
If he owned the saddle
That was half a cowboys battle
The rancher would provide the horse
He rarely offered the saddle, of course
To own your saddle was not cheap
it was something you were going to keep
The saddle the Cowboy was purchasing
Depending on the type of job he is chasing
There was A saddle for roping, cutting, and reigning.
Bronc riding saddle, Barrel Racing, and training
The Roping saddle was a heavy, sturdy saddle
Having it always handy was half the battle
It usually had a thicker horn to hang the rope
So, when he needed the lasso, he would not grope
The rodeo bronc riding saddle was hornless, so it goes.
With a deep-seated saddle designed for rodeos
Western saddles fashioned after the Vaqueros
Horse trainers and cattle handlers use them most
A very functional item was the saddle horn to hold
This style of saddle allowed for more cattle control.
The cutting saddle has a deep seat and swells.
Allows the rider to sit deep and securely as well
Through sharp stops and turns
He would get fewer saddle burns
Reining saddle allows the rider to sit deep and Swing his feet.
Barrel racing saddle: Had swells and high cantle to sit securely in his seat
whatever job the Cowboy applied for the saddle he brought
would get him through the rancher door or maybe not
