Martin Saddlery Sherry Cervi Crown C Barrel Racer with Roping Horn
The Martin Saddlery Sherry Cervi Crown C Barrel Racer with Roping Horn is a hybrid option that blends lightweight barrel‑racing ergonomics with a reinforced roping horn, giving crossover riders a rare combination of speed and roping capability. It distinguishes itself by offering dual‑discipline versatility—lighter than many dedicated roping saddles yet beefed up where it counts—so riders who compete in both barrel racing and occasional roping get more value per dollar than buying two specialized saddles. Compared with purpose‑built roping rigs, it sacrifices some pure durability and horn mass for agility and lower overall weight, which can reduce horse strain in timed events.
