Barrel XP

High style meets unparalleled function in the new Xtreme Performance™ barrel saddles by Circle Y. The XP™ barrel saddles not only look great, they deliver more quality and performance than other saddles on the market today.

Two different layers of tree technology, Low-Density and High-Density, are built into the XP™ B-barrel racer trees. To allow for the cat-like action your horse exhibits in a winning run, the XP™B Low-Density bar layer conforms to a horse’s back, while allowing for freedom of movement. This layer also makes the saddle fit a wider range of horses. The High-Density layer provides support of the rider, stability of the saddle and even weight distribution so your horse is more comfortable. Covering this new tree technology is DURAhide™, Circle Y’s improvement to traditional rawhide coverings. DURAhide™ is more consistent than rawhide, and it adds strength to the tree while keeping out moisture and the elements, adding to the life of your saddle.

Most noticeably in the new XP™ barrel saddles is the change in the Xtreme Performance™ skirt lining- or let’s say- the lack of it. Circle Y has introduced the Slip-Not™ Skirt, which is a close contact leather lining. The elimination of a wool lining further provides an improved fit for your horse and no slipping. It is easier to keep clean than wool, which can pack down and become uneven in spots from wear.

Besides maximum rider stick in the turns, the XP™ barrel suede seat saddles have built in comfort for you and your horse. The Impact Foam™ seat padding absorbs shock to eliminate transference of impact between horse and rider. The viscoelastic material conforms to the rider for ultimate support and comfort.

As an added feature, the Xtreme Performance™ saddles incorporate the FAST stirrup leather buckles. These patented buckles are easy to use, secure, and are constructed of 100% stainless steel, making them virtually indestructible. The FAST buckles have no parts to loose, wear or freeze up, making them a superior fastener. Their unique offset design allows the stirrup leather to hang straight and distortion free, and makes stirrup leather adjustment quick and easy.

Each Xtreme Performance™ barrel saddle has unique colors and finishes. Roughout seat jockeys, special tooling, crystals, and special silver are some of the options. Matching bridle and breast collars complete the look. Circle Y XP™ barrel saddles are available through your authorized Circle Y dealer.
