Will James ranch roping saddle that would also be a fine pleasure or trail saddle or for many other western riding disciplines. It is left plain for easy maintenance and competitive price for the working cowboy looking for a well made heavy duty rig. Built to last and built to work, it has a very comfy, center balance seat that puts you in the correct position and held secure with roughout seat and fenders and nice wide 4" bell stirrups for the comfort of your feet on those long days on horse back. The flat plate rigging will be strong enough for the hardest work and the least amount of bulk and dropped down for maximum stability on the horse. I have reduced the price below my normal base price for a quick sale. Take advantage of this opportunity to own a quality made custom saddle at a super price and join the ranks of my many satisfied customers.
