13.5″ Cactus Charmayne James Barrel Saddle

Gosh, this saddle is so cool! We love, love, LOVE this one! This 13.5″ barrel saddle is from the amazing team up of Cactus Saddlery and Charmayne James, designed to keep the rider secure while prioritizing saddle fit and movement of your equine athlete. Nice deep seat with a raised twist, wider seat base, free hung fenders, and is so secure. On WIDE fitting Full QH Bars, measuring 7″ with a ton of flare, wide through the full tree, and has nice rock to the bar. Has Cactus’ very popular leather and memory foam underside-rather than fleece or wool-that reduces bulk, gives a closer contact feel, AND reduces slipping of your saddle. The seat on this one is really nice, with almost a bicycle seat and roughed out over the twist and of course, roughed out jockeys that have ample grip/stick. Fenders, skirt, and swells are fully tooled, lined in dots, and has an upgraded, custom concho gives this a high end feel. Super short, round skirt at just 22″, taller and more substantial horn at 3.5″, and deep cantle at 4″. If we were to bet, this one is on a Buster Welch style tree. Youth friendly, but the fenders have an insane amount of adjustment, meaning this is adult rider friendly, too. 8.5″ thigh space. Comes with rear rigging. This saddle has been well cared for and offers butter soft leather. Has had the stirrup leathers replaced with bioethene, which is a great option to reduce bulk and stretch. Shows normal wear in the form of darkening to the leather on the fenders, is missing a couple dots on the pommel, and has a very small tear at the bottom of the fender, where the stirrups hang. This is such a nice saddle. Well made, well cared for, and is one that will surely hold up for many more years to come.
