Quality ropers can be an expensive investment. If you are wanting a quality roper, but aren’t quite ready to buy a custom…here is a heck of an option from one of our favorite saddlers. While Rocking R has since closed, their legacy will last thanks to saddles like this. This nice, punchy looking A Fork Ranch Roper measures 15″ to stitching, but will fit just a hair smaller as it has a super deep seat. Slick seat with a raised twist. That, paired with the over leathers on the fenders and pencil roll, this saddle has such a classic and very punchy look. Built on QH bars, on a wood tree that is reinforced in all the right places, this one is built to work. Measures 6.25″, with a more upright tree angle that is perfect for a more athletic built horse, moderate flare, has some nice rock to the bars. This one will fit a horse well. This saddle keeps the old timer look going with the square double skirts, more exaggerated founded fender, and the wide tooled boarder. Skirts measure 27.5″, comes fitted with matching rigging. 5″ cantle, 3.5″ leather wrapped post horn, A fork swells. Fenders on this one go REALLY long, perfect for a leggy rider. This is not a light saddle, weighing in at about 39lbs. While not a light saddle, this one is built to work and built to be comfortable for a long day of riding…and this one meets that mark. Well cared for overall, showing some discoloration on the lighter leather, few scuffs here and there, but doesn’t appear to have been ever roped off of. This is a darn nice saddle, and you don’t see ones like this priced like this very often!
