A barrel saddle with a hard seat is a type of western saddle designed for use in barrel racing, a fast-paced rodeo event where horse and rider navigate a series of tight turns around barrels in a timed race. The hard seat provides a secure, stable platform for the rider during quick maneuvers and sudden stops. The saddle is adorned with floral tooling on the skirt, pommel, and fender, adding an ornamental touch that is both stylish and functional. The tooling enhances the grip of the rider’s legs and helps to prevent slipping, which is especially important during high-speed turns. Seat: 14″, 15″, 16. Tree: Fiberglass-covered wood tree wrapped in rawhide. Skirt Length: 34-36 (Adjustable). Skirt Size: 23×20, 24×20, 25×20.
