Kelly Kaminski created the Kelly Kaminski Big Star Flex2 barrel saddle with her favorite features built on the shock-absorbing Flex2 tree, ensuring the perfect fit for both horse and rider. It is ideal if you like to jockey aggressively, allowing you to reach the front of the saddle during a run quickly. The Hamley twist paired with roughout, shorter stirrup fenders, and a high fender cut makes it ideal for effectively using your legs and keeping your feet in the correct position during a run with the slanted stirrups. The floral tooling and contrasting border tooling pair well with the antique conchos and hardware, making this saddle turn heads.
\nIDEAL FOR:
\n\u2022 The barrel racer who is looking for a deep-pocketed seat to stay in position throughout those deep tight turns.
\n\u2022 The barrel racer who is looking to become more stationary throughout their run from the 5\u201d cantle and 12\u201d swell.
\n\u2022 The horse that needs a more balanced fit that is provided by our 7\/8\u201d In-Skirt rigging.
\n\u2022 The horse that needs more freedom of movement through their shoulder during runs.\u00a0
\nWHY YOU\u2019LL LOVE IT:
\n\u2022 Featuring our KK Flex2 tree, the Big Star barrel saddle provides a locked-in feeling.\u00a0
\n\u2022 Roughout seat jockeys, fenders, and seat provides added stick and security through runs.
\n\u2022 Short skirts fit well on a short-backed, compact-built horse.
\n\u2022 The Turquoise Star conchos are custom to Circle Y and provide the perfect pop of color to this ultra-lite and walnut natural beauty.
\nHELPFUL TIPS:
\n\u2022 7\/8\u201d In-Skirt rigging is the most commonly used because it provides enough stability to the front of the saddle without interfering with movement!
\n\u2022 The KK Flex2 tree comes in two fits, regular and wide. If you have questions about saddle fit, contact Circle Y customer service or your local Circle Y authorized dealer!
\n\u2022 Hardseat saddles are a timeless choice and are known for their unmatchable comfortability once broke in.
\nMORE DETAILS:
\n\u2022 The placement of the saddle on the horse\u2019s back is important to function and comfort. The correct saddling position places the front edge of the bar BEHIND the horse\u2019s shoulder blade. This is the sweet spot where the saddle will rest comfortably without interfering with the horse\u2019s movement.
\n\u2022 Here at Circle Y, we take saddle fit seriously! Often, we see riders over-padding on a well-fitting saddle. This can lead to poor saddle fit, saddle sores, and a sore back! It\u2019s a good rule of thumb to always check your fit and adjust pad width sizing accordingly!
\n\u2022 Have you evaluated your horse\u2019s topline conformation? A weak topline can lead to poor saddle fit. Horses with hollows behind the shoulder, asymmetry, prominent spines, swaybacks, and downhill builds need correctional pads to ensure proper fit. Check out our correction pads at Reinsman Equestrian today to ensure your horse\u2019s comfort or call our customer service team for more info!
\nWARRANTY:
\n\u2022 10 Year Tree Warranty, 1 Year Craftsmanship Warranty.
\n\u2022 If at any point your saddle is showing damage, call our customer service team to receive prompt repair and guidance!
\nCARE INSTRUCTIONS
\nEvery new saddle has been oiled and then finished with a protective finish, which means you don\u2019t need to oil it for about six months. If you\u2019re riding a lot in dry or variable weather conditions, you should oil it sooner. The protective finish is water-based so your leather can breathe, so do not use detergent-based, solvent, or harsh cleaning products. Rub the leather gently, and do not scrub vigorously with soap and water. For more information, please see your warranty card, or contact a Circle Y representative!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
