The creation of our barrel saddle design came from the continuous outcry to feel balanced, not shifting forward or back, and never getting behind going from turn to turn. The slight rise in the front and the high back create a natural cradle for you to sit deep but yet still be able to get up and prepare for a horses big move into the barrel. Slight forward hung stirrups allow you to never get behind throughout transitions. The foundation of this saddle has been given every bit of detail that will leave you feeling 100% prepared for every run.
