boon Posts: 2	So i made the transition from hunter/jumper to barrels, Because English costs a lot of money. So i was looking at a fun, crazy, speed event and i came across Barrel racing. So i am getting a barrel horse next year around April or may. Lets get too the point.... I am 13 and working for the money for a barrel horse. But the prob is, I don't think i will be able too get the saddle until next year around December.... So any ideas on how too get a saddle earlier? I don't think i could get hammy downs or anything. Could i ride a barrel horse in just a saddle pad and halter/lead or bridle? Or could i ride it bareback...? BTW: IM A GUY SO PLEASE DON'T CALL ME A GIRL!!!!

Take a Picture Posts: 12837	If it makes you feel any better, I have known Ty Mitchell since he was a little boy and now he is an instructor at Joseys. There are a LOT of big name trainers that are men. My recommendation is a Corriente Saddle. They are not too expensive and a great entry level saddle. they fit a wide variety of horses. Hope that helps

Not Afraid to Work Posts: 4717	I rode bareback a lot as a kid. But you cannot compete bareback in case that is what you meant. Also keep an eye on craigslist or if you have facebook, I got my nieces barrel saddle for couple hundred bucks. Needed a good cleaning but is name brand and good quality.

Ms. Marine Posts: 4625 Location: Texas	Barrel racing also does cost quite a bit of money. I agree with the others who have said you could ride bareback.
