Here is one of the best values in America.  An arena roping saddle, that happens to be a great pleasure saddle, that happens to come in every size for your family. I call it basic, but it is better than many brands' top line saddle! Choose smooth or rough side out on the jockeys and fenders. Shown with saddle strings strung through the tree, but you can choose conchos with dees, if you prefer. Add some front breast collar dees, a roping pommel dee and strap to hold that rope (or water bottle), extra heavy fleece, a hoofpick holder, or any of the other Dakota options. Shown Golden brown, choose your color of leather, and of seat. Top grain padded seats are available as well as the suede. Give us your true inseam measurements and we can have the saddle stirrup lengths fitted for you. This is especially handy for youth, ladies, or tall cowboys! Half sizes in seats are available upon request. Your choice of QH or Full QH bars. If you have a riding school, horseback riding vacation station, or hack horses, this model and the 501, (same saddle with spot basket tooling), are great choices. We do offer multiple saddle discounts on these two models. The leather is not a bunch of thin pieces glued together. There is no pressed paper product in the skirts. The tree is really a roping tree; go ahead and catch your cow! (Now, if you are a professional wild cow catcher, call us for a saddle that will be stronger. You know the real rigors involved. Ashley Rankin says, "In this 21st century, there are dart guns for that!") I can remember when we only recommended really expensive name brands for cow catching. When I sold several to the same guy, I asked him if he was tearing them apart. He laughed and said, "Chuck, these saddles hold up, man. I just don't want you to raise the price."  We have not!
