G 'Day from Australia like your channel. The Australian stock saddle use to have it's knee pads down low like the placement of your bucking roll. Then people that didn't really fair dinkum ride horses started to make saddles, & decided to "Improve Them"
Howdy, Great question. Having them set lower secures my thighs better for traction when a horse gets “western” on me. I think this gives you a slight advantage over the higher position setting. Overall, I think it is up to the rider's discretion on what they like better and are comfortable with, ultimately leading to not needing them on their slick fork. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment. Cheers- Travis
I posted on how to lower but I forgot to post here. Basically a new saddle on the way and I'm old 75, so hitting the ground isnt on my agenda! Back story, new 2 year old very green. Hence bucking rolls and a night latch! Adios
Thanks, good to see you posting videos again. I’m liking that low placement. Might have to try that out.
Dustin, thank you kindly for watching. I have a new computer and software and ready to get some more videos out there for folks. Cheers - Travis
You are very knowledgeable! And you explain it so well thank you so much 😊
Thank you for checking out my channel and watching an episode. Much obliged for the positive feed back. Cheers - Travis

Could you show how to install a bucking roll lower. Great video !
Once I get my saddle back from the saddlery shop, I can do that for ya. Happy Independence Day. - Travis
Howdy Shelly, your video is posted concerning how to install a bucking roll lower on a saddle. Cheers- Travis
Thank you! I learned so much!!
Thank you for the most positive feedback! Cheers- Travis
Do you prefer them lower or high?

Adam Savage brought me here. Indirectly.

Bucking roll is better than a seat belt isn't it
Add a night latch and you're golden
@@tracyjohnson5023 Never heard of a night latch til last month. I got one for he wife and it saved her bacon on a young-un.
