The Just-B-Natural Savannah barrel saddle beautifully combines a traditional and treeless saddle. The rich chestnut leather paired with the cream buckstitch and turquoise hardware, makes this saddle stand out. The cutout skirt and lack of tree give the same close-contact feel with your horse as the treeless saddle, and the wood cantle and wood swells paired with the Hamley twist stirrup fenders of a traditional saddle allow you to maintain a close yet correct body position when running barrels. The shock-absorbing gel skirt inserts and lack of bars distribute your weight properly and allow for full wither and spinal clearance, which prevents the restriction of stride and eliminates the back soreness of your barrel horse.
