DISCONTINUED 14″ to 17″ Big Horn Barrel Saddle 563 – Full Basket Tooled Cordura Barrel Racing Saddle

The DISCONTINUED 14″ to 17″ Big Horn Barrel Saddle 563 is a legendary lightweight barrel racing saddle that combined affordability, grip, and classic western style. Built on a Round Front Competitor fiberglass-covered wood tree with full quarter horse bars and 7″ gullet width, it offered balanced fit and quick maneuverability for tight turns on average to wide horses. Black Cordura nylon skirts, fenders, and housings provided exceptional durability and easy cleaning, while the quilted roughout suede seat (double-padded) delivered outstanding non-slip grip and rider comfort during high-speed runs.

Full basket weave tooling across most leather surfaces added rich western detailing and visual appeal, paired with silver conchos for show-ring shine. Stainless steel on-tree 7/8 rigging ensured secure hold, fleece-lined panels protected the horse’s back, and the ultra-lightweight design (~25 lbs) made it easy to handle compared to heavier leather barrel saddles.

Features included braided rawhide-covered horn (~3.5″ height), 5″ cantle, ample dees for accessories, and classic black finish. Ideal for barrel racing, rodeo competition, speed events, youth riders, or training—this Big Horn 563 was loved for its value, stickiness, and performance before being discontinued. Still highly sought after on used markets or remaining stock—perfect for riders wanting proven grip and lightweight agility without premium leather cost. Grab this discontinued gem while available!
