Western saddles, particularly barrel racing saddles, are made by the well-known company Dakota Saddlery.

Seat Size: The saddle’s seat size is indicated by the 14″ to 16″ measurement. Passengers are able to select a seat size based on comfort and preference.

Tree: Specialized trees are often used with barrel saddles in order to ensure a snug fit on the horse’s back and to facilitate fast and fluid motions during barrel racing.

Rigging: To help keep the saddle firmly in position during sharp twists and maneuvers, barrel saddles usually feature in-skirt or forward-hung rigging.

Horn: The saddle horn is an essential component of barrel racing since it gives the rider something to hold onto when making sharp bends around barrels.

Stirrups: Barrel saddles frequently have lightweight stirrups that lower overall weight and let the rider to rapidly raise and lower their legs.
