Buying A Barrel Racing Saddle On eBay
- Does the barrel saddle come with or without stirrups, cinches, latigos, billets, a
breast collar, etc.? It would not be unusual for a cheap or expensive
barrel saddle to sell without these items. Read the description carefully so you know exactly what you
are, and are not, getting.
- Is the barrel saddle new or used? If the saddle is used,
it's reasonable to expect it might have some defects of some kind. The seller should clearly
describe any scratches, scuffs, tears, stains, etc., and show them in the
pictures if possible.
Barrel Racing
Barrel racing is a competitive event in which a horse and rider run a
cloverleaf pattern around three barrels. It is a timed event in which the
fastest time wins. Though most recognized as a sport more commonly competed in
by women than men, depending on what (if any) governing body sanctions a barrel
race the rider may be either male or female.
| In barrel racing, the rider has the choice of turning either the
right or left barrel first. It is most common to take the right barrel
first because most horses are naturally more athletic when working to
their left. By taking the right barrel first the horse will have one
right-hand turn (the first barrel), and two left-hand turns (the second
and third barrels).
Our illustration to the right
shows shows the barrel racing pattern with the right barrel being turned first. |

Penalties
In barrel racing, there can be penalties. For
example, if a barrel racer knocks over a barrel a five second penalty is
usually assessed. If a barrel racer "breaks the pattern" (which means
they don't run around all three barrels in the manner described by the
rules), or if they cross back across the start/finish line before the pattern is
complete, they will receive a no time.
