This isn't just any saddle. BigHorn decided to distinguish themselves from all other nylon/leather combination saddle makers. They sat down in a board meeting and asked, "How can we make a better, lightweight saddle, that will allow the stirrups to turn easy, for arthritis; something that any normal lady, or any person over 60, or a person under12, can lift." They decided to replace the skirts, stirrup leathers, and fenders with Cordura© nylon. It costs like leather. It is as strong as leather. 

But because Cordura© can be cut and sewn like in a garment shop, the cost savings come in the labor time making these parts. The bindings are specially turned from the same material, so you will not have edges falling loose. 

Leather, not synthetic, is next to your body's saddle block area. This lets your crotch breathe. No excessive sweating like there is with naugahide seats. The best stainless steel hardware is used, rather than the cheapest plated pot metal. No cheap Velcro imitation expected to hold your stirrups on.  No excessive stretching in spring or summer sunshine. No tearing or cracking in the cold weather from cheap vinyl pommel covers, or seats. No conchos, nails or screws breaking loose out of an inferior tree. (I hate to bash other makers, but these saddles are quality, and some of you have heard horror stories about other brands.)

My oldest children began, and rode these Big Horn saddles until they were older teens. We still use them today, 25 years later. These Barrel Racing saddles allow lots of free movement in the stirrups. The seat and cantle are designed for your security. The light weight is always a favorite with gymkhana. And when it's time to ride shorter trails, we just add strings and bags!

If you want your saddles to last this well, ask us about preconditioning and best continuous conditioning & care, before we ship to you. Cool thing is: just a few little differences between dealers will make a huge difference in your long term riding enjoyment.

Also available in 13,14, 15, and 16 inch models with several tree options.

Another favorite is the BigHorn felt lined, (nose & crown) halter. What this means to you is that of all the halters we have used for almost 50 years, these seem to be best for leaving on the horse during longer periods of time. The nylon doesn't get hard like polypropylene halters. The felt allows this halter to be more comfy in most weather conditions. Padded nose & crown dry back fast without problems. This halter uses rated materials so that it should hold together for most pulls, but will break, or snap straighten with excessive effort that would have hurt your horse anyway. Easily repairable. Comes with a Warranty.  Snaps are easily replaced. Re-stitching with a standard leather type or heavy duty sewing machine , or by hand awl can be done. OR, the halter can be returned to us or to the maker, (clean), for repairs. 1 year warrantee coverage, (At our stables, ours average lasting over 10 years.) Hardware is brass type with no bad edges. 7624 is 3/4 inch nylon, (not polypropylene), with adjustable crown & nose with throat snap (which can  be twisted either hook in or out). Available in sizes: XL Horse, Reg Horse, Arab, yearling, weanling. (suckling & pony available too)  All popular colors available.  Only $21.99 or  3 for $19.99 each.     7139 is the same model in 1 inch nylon.  $26.99 or 3 for $24.49 each.  Available in popular XL (Draft), Reg horse, Arab & Yearling sizes. 

Matching leads have availability to interchange brass snap, halter chain, or bull snap as you like. Matching colors  1 inch heavy duty brass snap lead    Only $12.99 each   or 3 for $11.49 each.  (Brass Chain leads add $5.00 each. Or get an extra brass chain with the HD snap lead for $7.99 extra.)

These accessories are priced at about 25% off the makers already reasonable prices. Adding these items will not increase the shipping costs on most saddle deliveries, due to the new dimensional weights used by UPS. So get them with your saddle and save even more!
