What is everyone's favorite barrel saddle and why? 

Personally I love my Josey saddle. I will say that it did take some getting used to and moving the stirrups up and down to find the "sweet spot". 

I've ridden a ton of different brands and just got a Slone a few months ago. Best one ever. 

Larry Coats

Shiloh Jordan Briggs Finalist or Contender (only difference between the two is the swells)

Prior to my finalist I had a Crown C, Martin Racer, FX3, and Reinsman Molly Powell. I liked the Martin FX3 (but went down the rabbit hole of large gullets and had to sell it to get something that would fit all my horses not just the wide one). The Molly Powell was good, but the Finalist is awesome. It holds me in so well.

I ride in Roohide's and Burns saddles.  Really fit the horse and rider. 

My all time favorite is an Ammerman. I love the balanced ride. I currently ride in a PSC and its balanced too which I really like. 

Stingray!

I wouldn't trade my stingray for anything! I never have to think about what i need to do to help myself in a run, i can just ride my horse the way he needs to be rode. I always have perfect balance and my body is in the position i need it to be in.

I'm currently in a Robbie Phillips and I LOVE it. I've also ridden Double J LM Special and Ammerman angel kisses on past horses and liked them. It seems that I change saddles depending on the horse and their turning style and build. 

Thanks everyone. I currently have a Pozzi Pro but hearing really good things about the HTW saddles. Been hearing they sit you correctly and deeper than a TF or Double J? I love the quality of my Double J.

I have a Raylee Racer, I will probably never sell it. deep seat and forward hung stirrups are the top features of it for me, not to mention I had it custom ordered and picked all the tooling that I wanted. I really want to try a Woody's some day

I have a Charmayne James by Cactus Saddlery that I bought new back in I think 2000.  It's fully tooled with black sueded seat and just a pretty saddle.  But what I love about it is how well it was made and how secure the seat is...just a nice saddle.  The horse I barrel raced on is 34 now and long retired.  I do distance sports mostly now so that saddle is just collecting dust.  I should probably sell it.

I have tried everyone's favorites under the moon to try and go to something other than a crappy corriente. Went to ProLite, I'll never go back. I'll own just 1 pad, but, bridle and set of reins just to keep a ProLite in my tack room. Love. 

I love Robbie Phillips. I've sold my Caldwell, Shilohs, and have my Pozzi pro for sale. I'll ride everything in Robbies now! 

I won a Tod Slone in 2005, and that has been my main saddle ever since.  It fits a horse SO well and I like that it has a leather horn and more of an "all-around" type feel.  I don't like saddles that make you feel trapped.   I can even breakaway rope in this one.

My favorite is the one that fits my horse the best....I ride a Cirlce Y Tammy Fischer x wide on my 20 year old , rode an older Carl Ammerman on him until 2 years ago, and a Double J Lynn McKenzie on the 12 year old.

Thanks everyone!

Robbie Phillips, they have helped me gain my seat back, and not get behind without sitting me forward
