Double T 13″ Youth Barrel Saddle – Chocolate Roughout Pony Size

The Double T 13″ Youth/Pony Chocolate Roughout Barrel Saddle gives your young rider a professional-level foundation to train, compete, and win. Whether your child is running their first pattern or chasing their first buckle, this youth barrel racing saddle delivers the grip, fit, and durability that junior riders and serious barrel racing families demand. Built light, built tough, and built to perform — this is the saddle that grows with your racer.

Roughout Leather That Grips and Performs in the Barrel Pattern

The chocolate roughout barrel saddle construction puts function first. Roughout leather turns the suede side out — creating natural grip that keeps young riders planted and centered through every hard turn of the cloverleaf pattern. Here is what makes the leather construction stand out:

• Roughout seat provides maximum grip and keeps junior riders secure at speed
• Roughout fenders and jockeys work together to stabilize leg position through every turn
• Buckstitching runs clean and tight along all edges for durability and a sharp western finish
• Antiqued copper conchos add a premium competition look without adding unnecessary weight

This roughout youth barrel saddle looks as good as it rides — and it rides extremely well.

Rawhide Stirrups and Ready-to-Ride Hardware

This youth pony barrel saddle ships complete and competition-ready. Every piece of hardware is selected to handle the fast-paced, high-pressure demands of barrel racing without loosening, cracking, or letting your rider down when it counts. The saddle includes:

• Rawhide-covered stirrups adjustable from 22″ to 28″ to grow with your rider
• Front D rings for secure attachment and tie-down rigging
• Leather latigo for a strong, reliable cinch connection
• Off billet included and ready to use straight out of the box

Cinch up and ride from day one — no extras needed and nothing left to buy.

Full Quarter Horse Bars Built for Pony and Small Horse Comfort

Fit matters more than anything in a barrel racing saddle — for the horse just as much as the rider. This saddle rides on Full Quarter Horse bars with a 7″ gullet, distributing weight evenly across the back of ponies and smaller quarter horses. The fiberglass-covered wood tree delivers:

• Even weight distribution that protects your horse’s back through hard arena work
• Structural strength to handle the demands of fast barrel racing competition
• Controlled flex that absorbs impact without compromising rider stability
• Long-term durability that holds up through seasons of consistent use

A properly fitted youth barrel saddle means a more comfortable, more willing horse — and a more confident junior rider performing at their best.

Frequently Asked Questions – Double T 13″ Youth Barrel Saddle

Full answers to all questions below live on our FAQ page. Click any question to read the complete answer.

Q: What size horse does this youth barrel racing saddle fit? A: The Full Quarter Horse bars and 7″ gullet make this saddle the right fit for ponies and smaller quarter horses with broader, flatter backs. Always measure your horse before ordering to confirm the correct fit.

Q: Is a 13″ seat the right size for my child? A: A 13″ seat fits most young riders between approximately 4–8 years old or those weighing under 70 lbs. Older or larger youth riders perform better in a 14″ or 15″ seat for added comfort and control.

Q: Does this barrel saddle arrive ready to ride? A: Yes. The saddle ships fully equipped with a leather latigo, off billet, and rawhide-covered stirrups already included. Attach your cinch and ride.

Q: How much does this youth barrel saddle weigh? A: This saddle weighs 19 lbs — lighter than most adult barrel saddles, making it easy for parents to handle and comfortable for ponies to carry through a full competition day.

Q: What makes roughout leather better for barrel racing? A: Roughout leather faces the suede side outward, creating natural grip that keeps young riders secure and stable through sharp, fast turns in the barrel pattern — far more effectively than smooth leather.

Q: How long does shipping take on barrel racing saddles? A: Orders process within 24 hours. East Coast and Midwest deliveries arrive in 2–4 business days. West of the Rockies typically arrives in 3–5 business days. Expedited shipping dispatches the next business day.
