Strap attached to an English saddle?
The main strap on an English style saddle is called the girth. This is what keeps the saddle on the horse. But there are other types of straps also. There is what is called a 'breastcollar', which keeps the saddle from sliding back too far on the back. There is a 'crupper' which works the other way and keeps the saddle from moving too far forward. There are different kinds of martingales, standing or running, which are usually for training purposes but should only be used if you know what you are doing. This combines the breastcollar with the horse's bridle or bit. These are the most common types of straps but certainly not all available to equine enthusiests.

Do you have to sit a certain way when barrel racing?

What piece of tack keeps the saddle from slipping back?
the girth mainly stops it because if it is tight enough the saddle can not move forward because the front legs are there. if your horse is gentle enough use a back cinch (back girth) and this will help too, just don't tighten it as tight as the front cinch on Howrse it's crupper, in real life cruppers do help alot
