Lightning fast and lightweight, Martha built the Martha Josey Lightning Contender for the barrel racer who doesn’t want the extra weight and bulkiness of a full-skirt saddle. The lack of excess weight on the horse’s back lightens the load and ability to travel faster, decreasing their time in the arena. Instead, the cutout skirt of the saddle eliminates extra pressure on the horse’s back when in competition, ensuring a close contact fit and balance for both you and your horse. The dark chocolate roughout, braided strings, and lightning bolt conchos dress up this functional yet attractive saddle that will surely take you to the winner’s circle.

Care Instructions:
Every new saddle has been oiled and then finished with a protective finish, which means you don’t need to oil it for about six months. If you’re riding a lot in dry or variable weather conditions, you should oil it sooner. The protective finish is water based so your leather can breathe, so do not use detergent-based, solvent, or harsh cleaning products. Rub the leather gently, and do not scrub vigorously with soap and water. For more information, please see your warranty card, or contact a Circle Y representative!
