What Is A Circle Y “Xtreme Performance” Barrel Saddle?
You may have noticed that some of the saddles above (but not all) are described as a Circle Y Xtreme Performance (XP) barrel saddle. So what is that? For complete information we recommend you see this page on the HorseSaddleShop.com website: Circle Y Xtreme Performance Saddles, but below is a brief overview.
- EBS Ergobalance Stirrups: For decreased ankle and knee fatigue while promoting balanced riding.
- XPG Bar Pad: The XPG gel bar pad does not break down and provides improved shock absorption and comfort in the horse as it compensates for variance in fit.
- Slip-Not Skirt: This skirt has a close contact
leather lining providing improved fit and no slip. - FAST Buckle Stirrup: The patented FAST buckle stirrup leather buckle is quick, easy, secure, and is constructed of 100% stainless steel. It makes stirrup leather adjustments quick and easy.
- MVS—Microvent Seat System: Perforated top grain Microvent leather seat breathes for superior rider comfort while remaining water repellant. (May not be applicable to suede and/or hard seats).
In addition, Circle Y’s Xtreme Performace barrel saddle have:
- A DURAhide covered tree that adds strength while keeping out moisture, adding to the life of the saddle.

About Legendary Saddlery Circle Y
In 1960, in the small town of Yoakum in the southeast part of Texas, a man named Leland Tucker founded Circle Y saddlery. With an insistence on high quality and fine craftsmanship, he steadily built one of the most respected saddle brands in the world.
Circle Y has gained a reputation for great-looking tack and saddles of superior quality. The company is always looking to improve its products, having introduced unique and innovative features to their saddles such as:
- Their patented Flex-Lite saddle tree. Circle Y’s Flex-Lite tree is lightweight and flexible, allowing it to fit a range of horses as though it was custom-made.
- Softee seat jockeys and stirrup fenders. Softee leather gives a “ready to ride feel” to a saddle, while also minimizing knee and ankle strain.
Circle Y saddles are all still made in Yoakum, TX, just as they were back in 1960. They are crafted by a team of expert saddle makers who contribute decades of knowledge and skill to each saddle made.
