How to build a nylon bungee that attaches under the fork of the saddle and keeps your rope or cow whip nicely secured under the base of the saddle horn.
I often carry both on my saddle down here in Texas but always run into the issue of my whip being in the way when dallying. Any tips to solve this? I've tried coiling the whip around me like a bandolier but have lost it numerous times
Cody, what a fantastic question. That situation that you just described, used to bother me a lot. I did have a good way of tying it up with my saddle strings that was fast to access and remove when needed. Much slower when putting away though. I did come up with a lot faster method using a toggle and thong. I will put a video together to show you a few different methods to carry your whip. Give me a few days to put it together. I will publish it around the 26th. The monsoons are upon us down here in AZ right now and making filming difficult.
Dano, Every saddle is different on the size of the gullet and fork. You have to play around with the proper sizing. The best thing to do is use a piece of rope to measure around the fork and then cut your bungee cord the same length. Keep in mind that every bungee cord has a different tensile strength when going over the horn of the saddle. This means everything is trial and error. Cheers- Travis

I crimp my ends together with a Farrell or am hog ring, nice and tidy, doesn’t rub high withered horses… nice job.
