your rawhide seems to have been left in too long and some hides will not slip very easy and some will. your mixture might be too strong as well. also thid method does not work when the weather/water is cold-ish but other than that dont quit rawhiding! you will find what works for you weather it be slipping or scraping. scraping is very natural and seems to be the best way for ME it just takes some more work. good luck!

i think i played around with that same pattern but the braid kept wanting to twist up on me. but a cool braid none the less.

thankyou everyone for your help. its not that i cant handle it with this horn its just that a igger horn would make it alot easier. i will probly just invest in a new saddle of my liking but until then ill just have to cope with dallying a few more times around the horn like i said i do fine even with the larger cattle.

oh come on all this knowledge and no help??

hello everyone im pretty new here and i was wondering what it would take to replace the horn on one of my saddles or if it is even worth it. the saddle is a sort of ranch cutter saddle that i have been doing a little bit of roping off of(mainly just in the branding pen so nothing too big) i have the horn wraped with some mule hide but i feel that the horn is just too small so i guess what im asking is if i were to do this where would i start. thankyou.
