T he Horse Saddle for Barrel Racing is a bit different than the Western and English Saddles.  Here is an article that goes in to that difference a little bit:   by [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Nancy_Gloss]Nancy Gloss

Choosing the right Barrel Racing Horse Saddle can sometimes be difficult, but only if you make it that way.  First, perhaps, you should decide what kind of impression you want to make.  You already know your favorite color, what tooling you would like
and you should know, or approximately know what size of seat you need.
The barrel racing horse saddle should be appealing to your eye since you are the one riding, and most every rider wants there horse to look great and catch everyone else’’s eye. Just knowing that when everyone
turns, stops, and looks at you and your horse because of the picture
you make and the impression you are making to others who are also
looking  at you, makes you know that you have done a great job
outfitting your horse and yourself, You get that wonderful surge of
adrenaline from looking great and what it has accomplished, that the
feeling will just plain make you feel good and will take you through
the rest of day, whether it is racing, riding, or just working your
horse in the round pen .

Remember that you don”t have to have a new saddle or all new tack,
sometimes if you add just one piece and do some work on your old
saddle, shine it up, add a few touches yourself, you will achieve the
impressive look just like anyone with a new complete outfit.

Barrel racing is just racing the clock, and hopefully beating everyone
else’’s time. But, many have said that when you feel great and look
wonderful, the clock just kind of stands still and you finish with a
great time. Naturally, we know that the horse  saddle, tack and beautiful
clothes do not matter when you are going top speed around the barrels.
But, you already have the initial adrenaline from before the race,
then when you receive that extra adrenaline while sitting on your
horse waiting your turn, your mind and nerves are stretched to the
limit for those few seconds.  You will still have that gorgeous outfit
until you decide to change to your look again.

The barrel racing saddles in several new colors, such as pink, purple,
turquoise, lime green seems like what the younger rider wants. Of
course, most of the saddles with color also have beautiful tooling
that has matching tack which makes the combination look stunning.
There is also, the all leather handcrafted saddles which are so
beautiful by themselves they don”t need to have any bright colors. I
guess these saddles are for the little older rider but I feel they are
for everyone that just likes a beautiful saddle combination of
matching horse tack and saddle. After all, age has nothing to do with
it, because my feelings are that we are only as old as we make
ourselves, and that being said pick the saddle that best suits you and
will do the work you want it to, then you have the right horse saddle
for you.

Please note that the barrel racing saddle can be used for any other
activities besides barrel racing. Just use your imagination and apply
the greatest desires you have in any of the horse activities you want
to enter, and then just go for it. Although, the barrel racing saddles
need to be crisp, clean, and have closely cropped skirts for less
weight that makes the distinctive tooling and the bright colors a
plus. Just set your heart on the impression you want to make and you
can not go wrong. After all, it is all about what you can afford and
want in quality, comfort, color, and the size that fits you, and then
know that you have it made the right choice.
