5 Star Close Contact Barrel Racer Saddle Pad

Dominate the pattern and shield your horse’s back with the 5 Star “Close Contact Barrel Racer” Saddle Pad (28″ Length x 30″ Drop). Renowned as the industry standard for high-performance barrel racing, 5 Star pads are handcrafted from 100% pure virgin wool felt, providing superior protection against high-impact stress during quick stops, sharp turns, and explosive acceleration.

Designed specifically for barrel racers and tight-turning performance saddles, the close-contact profile features a streamlined cutout under the fender to bring your leg closer to your horse for precise, instantaneous cues. The natural wool felt conforms directly to your horse’s back for a custom fit, eliminating bridging and sore spots. Wool’s unique fiber structure wicks sweat, dissipates heat, and cleans up effortlessly after long competition days. Plus, this pad comes complete with a special free gift!
