Location: West Texas | Looking for pictures and comments on barrel saddles. I am looking for a friend and need to see what's out there to narrow down a search. Only thing I am not looking for is a Martin. Thank you in advance.

I love your saddle! I can't remember what brand it was. Is it an Allan ranch barrel saddle? |

It's an Allen Ranch on a modified Bob Marshall cutting tree. They made it a 14" with a higher cantle and higher rise. It's probably a little tall fronted for some people, but it's exactly what I wanted. I'm so long legged that I have to sit up straight and not get out over my horses anyway. I've never had a saddle that fit me so well! Here's the tree that's in it.

It's just too narrow in the shoulders for a new mare I bought a couple of months ago... and she's just going to keep growing. Don't want to sell it (it's sentimental to me!), but it is what it is! |

Location: NE Texas | I have a Jeff Smith cutter cut down to look like a barrel saddle and an original Coats. Like the Jeff Smith for colts and horses that are free or still hip high and low in the front end and like the Coats for horses that need a little more hustling me off my hiney.

Location: West Texas | Thank you guys, the pictures are really helpful to me. We have a couple Jeff smith saddles and like them really well. They are cutting saddles and not barrel saddles. I am kind of leaning that way, but not sure. I think we are looking for a saddle that sits you well in the middle and has stirrups hung not too far forward. Current barrel saddle is too big and has a tendency to place the legs too forward and throw this particular rider to the back of the seat, coming out of turns etc. |

Current barrel saddle is too big and has a tendency to place the legs too forward and throw this particular rider to the back of the seat, coming out of turns etc.
Both of my saddles sit nice and balanced. The Jeff Smith doesn't allow me to get forward and I can't get up and really hustle a horse if needed. My 5 yo stays in rate mode, so I have to have something I can stand up in and get off my butt between the barrels, hence the coats. That being said, on young horses that are unpredictable and still hip high, I can't ride my coats on them bc if they do something they shouldn't, it doesn't sit me in a position to sit down and ride them through a colt moment. You should look at the Allen ranch saddles or shiloh saddles. Both are nice quality and put you in a balanced position. I also love the coats but am partial to one particular tree. |

I need that. A saddle built for taller riders would be perfect for me. |
