American Saddlery Racer

The 7-inch gullet with full quarter horse bars is designed for horses with broader shoulders and a flatter back, typical of stock horse breeds like Quarter Horses or Paints. This width provides the necessary clearance to prevent pinching during tight turns.

The wood and fiberglass combination offers a balance between traditional strength and modern durability. The wood provides a solid, reliable foundation, while the fiberglass covering adds structural integrity and weather resistance, which is essential for the high-intensity stress of barrel racing.

At 25 pounds, this saddle is relatively lightweight for a leather barrel saddle. This makes it easier to lift onto your horse's back and maneuver during tacking up without sacrificing the stability needed for competition.

The 7/8 position rigging is a standard choice for barrel racing because it provides a secure, balanced fit that keeps the saddle stable during rapid acceleration and sharp turns. Stainless steel is used for the hardware to ensure long-term durability and resistance to rust.

A 16-inch seat is a standard, versatile size that accommodates a wide range of adult riders. It offers enough room for comfort while remaining compact enough to keep you secure and centered during high-speed maneuvers.
