Description
Designed with barrel racer Tammy Fischer – 5-time NFR qualifier barrel racer, Calgary Stampede, and Rodeo Houston Champion. The treeless design keeps the rider in close contact and allows the horse unrestricted movement. Fleece lined neoprene skirts are flexible, molding to your horse’s shape and bending with your horse in the turns. For the rider that likes a deep seat, the upright swell and cantle keep you secure and positioned. Forward hung stirrup leathers keep your feet from getting behind you and provide the rider great flexibility in the stirrups. Aluminum rubber grip stirrups. “The close contact of my saddle lets the horse and rider connect in a way that traditional saddles can’t “ – Tammy Fischer
Saddle Fit: MEDIUM-fits most horses with a defined wither, WIDE fits most horses with a broad, or mutton, wither and foundation type conformation
SPECIAL FEATURES:
• The treeless design with wood swell and cantle, but no solid bars, provides unrestricted movement for the horse, especially important during the turns-the saddle is able to move and flex with the horse
• Ultimate close contact between horse and rider-because there are no bars, the rider is able to feel the horse and better communicate through clear cues
• Leg cut swells provide a place to set your legs, and because there is no rigid tree, the rider can squeeze with your thighs, staying centered and balanced
• Fenders are forward hung to keep your feet in front, but are also free swinging to allow a wide range of motion for the legs when needed
• Neoprene skirts absorb shock and distribute the rider’s weight
• The 5″ cantle and tall swells provide a secure seat. Available with rider’s preference of short or medium horn
• Lightweight design
• Great for the horse that is hard to fit or has conformation issues, the treeless saddle will conform to each horse. Regular fit in general fits horses with a defined wither. Wide fit is generally recommended for horses that are broad or mutton withered
Sandra Laubenthal –
I just resently bought a treeless saddle, a barrel saddle. I have never used a treeless saddle before. I rode 12 miles in one day in it and my bottom wasnt sore. With the treeless, I can feel every move my horse makes. I love the fact I sit deep in the saddle. I am 63 and have ridden horses all my life and I have never felt a saddle so comfortable. I chose a barrel saddle as I had always loved barrel racing as a kid, so this saddle is going to be used by my granddaughter also. The only thing that I would change is I bought the taller horn 3″ and should have gotten the shorter horn. I am shorter and the horn comes right at the belly button. My first Circle Y saddle was a barrel racing saddle bought in 1982 and I still have it and use it. I love the way Circle Y saddles fit me. I am looking for another Circle Y treeless for my daughter now. But it is going to have to wait as the price tag is a little high for me right now.
