A rodeo saddle is a specialized type of saddle designed for use in rodeo events. It is built to provide stability and support for the rider during activities like bull riding and bronc riding. These saddles typically feature a deep seat, high cantle, and sturdy horn to help the rider maintain balance while performing. Rodeo saddles are often made from durable leather and include additional features such as reinforced rigging and a wide tree to accommodate the horse's back. They are distinct from other saddles, like western saddles or English saddles, due to their unique design tailored for the demands of rodeo sports.
