Circle Y Josey-Mitchell Youth Lightning Lightspeed Saddle

Whats the #1 challenge young barrel racers face? Being thrown forward during a run.

The Martha JoseyMitchell Youth Lightning Lightspeed Barrel Saddle was built to fix that. Forward-hung fenders help keep a young riders feet underneath them, encouraging proper position and preventing them from tipping forward over the horse. The result is a more balanced ride and quicker development of a confident, correct seat.

Designed specifically for youth competitors, the 10" and 12" seats feature a shorter horn, youth-sized fenders and stirrups, plus a tall 9" swell and 5" cantle for a deep, secure feel when speed and precision matter most. The 3-Way Rigging system evenly distributes pressure across the horses back, eliminating the need for a rear cinch while improving comfort and stability.

Lightweight leather and synthetic skirting reduce bulk and overall weight without sacrificing strength or performance. Finished with a turquoise suede seat, purple and turquoise buckstitch, and turquoise lightning bolt conchos, this saddle brings eye-catching style to match its performanceguaranteed to make your little cowgirl feel fast in the arena. All saddles are handmade in Yoakum, Texas.

Developed by Martha Josey and Ty Mitchell after years of training riders of all ages, the Youth Lightning Lightspeed is a lightweight, performance-driven saddle built to help young riders stay secure, ride balanced, and build a strong foundation for winning barrel runs.
