There are many different ways that may determine and reflect upon a choice to pick the right barrel saddle for horse riding, but the most important approach is to choose what is best fitting for a rider. It may be desired that the saddle can carry medical items and supplies, but the best pick is to choose what is most comfortable for the rider and for the horse.

Do you have to buy into barrel racing?
Yes, I would say so. A finished barrel horse can cost anywhere from $6000 to $12000. You need a good barrel racing saddle and boots for your horse. Not to mention headstalls and bits. Also, barrel racers need a trailer to haul their horse or horses to events. A small trailer an cost $10,000. Most people have matchy matchy boots and saddle pads and outfits too but I'm not really into that.

I'm pretty sure that Barrel Saddles have a deeper seat and higher cantle to help the rider stay in the saddle. Western Pleasure Saddles are just everyday plain western riding saddles. I'm not 100% sure about all this, but I'm at least 80% sure.
