"With that large square skirt this is NOT a barrel saddle! Barrel saddles have a rounded skirt to free up the horse's hips. A long horn alone doesn't make this a barrel saddle. Pretty enough if you're willing to pay so much."

Unless you are specifically looking for a decorative saddle and are willing to pay a premium for it, this saddle is not recommended for serious barrel racing or everyday use. Consider alternatives that offer better functionality and value. Services Single quote in JSON must be escaped.
