The Kelly Kaminski Jolene Barrel is built for riders who want to sit deeper, stay balanced, and stay connected through every turn.
Built on a traditional KK Barrel wood tree, this lightweight saddle delivers a close contact feel that keeps you in sync with your horse. The short, rounded skirt fits short-backed horses exceptionally well, allowing for freedom of movement without excess bulk.
A carefully placed skirt cutout brings you even closer to your horse’s motion, giving you a more precise feel when setting up your pocket. The higher seat rise naturally supports a deeper seat—helping you cue your horse to rate and prepare for the turn with confidence and consistency.
Pre-turned fenders promote proper leg position from the start, encouraging heels down and toes out so you can stay balanced and centered when it matters most. The longer 3.5” horn adds security when you need to sit down and hold your position through a powerful turn.
Inspired by Kelly Kaminski’s championship-winning career—including five NFR qualifications and back-to-back World Champion titles—this saddle reflects a style built on control, timing, and consistency.
