Product Details
Crates Sunset Barrel Racer
Precision in Every Turn. Style in Every Detail.
This lightweight barrel saddle blends performance-driven design with timeless craftsmanship. Built from durable American steer hides and finished in Natural, it features a deep center pocket seat, dropped in-skirt rigging, and a 7” Full Quarter Horse gullet—engineered for balance, speed, and control.
Hand-stamped with a full basket pattern and rope border, the polished leather edging, stitched rough-out suede seat, and buffed rough-out jockeys and fenders give this saddle a sharp, refined finish.
Mother Hubbard-style skirts, turned fenders, hand-stitched cantle, and stainless steel hardware ensure it’s ready for the arena, while berry conchos and saddle strings add that final Western touch.
Weighs approximately 27 lbs. and includes cinch, leather off billet, and tie strap—everything you need to ride hard and look good doing it.

Calculated Seat Size:
There is a lot of room for personal preference with seat sizing, but as a general rule it is better to error on the side of ordering a seat size that is too large rather than erring on the side of a seat that will be too small.
Things to Consider
- Tucker adds 1/2inch to their seat sizes (due to thick seat padding)
16.5” Tucker = 16” normally
- Barrel riders usually take 1” less on the seat size
16” Trail Rider = 15” Barrel Rider
- Ranch (slick seats) usually ride smaller (1/2inch seat size) so they don’t slide around
16” is for most men, 15” for most women
- Trail Saddles with High Cantles (5”) make the seat sizes feel smaller
Trail Saddle with 5” cantle will feel smaller in the seat than one with a 3.5” cantle
- English Saddles don’t convert exactly but often are 2” bigger
18” English = 16” Western
- Riders with inseams under 30” or 5’ tall and under often need custom cut fenders
Tall riders with long legs but lighter weight may need custom cut fenders as well
Checking the Fit
- General Guideline is about 3 fingers between your thigh and the swell.

Worked with Josh on multiple occasions. Fast response, thorough on answers, hassle free. This place was great! Came back to buy a second saddle from them as well. This will be my first place to look when I need something and even for my next saddle.
Extremely good to deal with very helpful. I just can’t recommend these guys enough. Considering I am in Australia they were extremely good to deal with very helpful I recommend them 150% saddle was packed well and it’s beautiful very happy customer 5 start rating hands down.
After so much searching and being nervous about ordering a saddle online. I picked up the phone and called the Horse Saddle Shop to ask a few questions about a used saddle that was on their website. They were so nice and helpful. I ordered my very lightly used Circle Y saddle and a new saddle pad. It arrived very quickly. Only a few days. I LOVE my new saddle. In great condition and rides great! I would highly recommend using them for your tack needs. I know I will be in the future!
