Barrel Racer Lisa Lockhart Joins Circle Y Team of Champions


Lisa Lockhart is a wife, mother, rancher and 4-time NFR Qualifier. Residing in Oelrichs, SD, she credits the team effort of her family for her barrel racing success. When she's not on the road barrel racing, Lisa balances family life at the ranch with her husband and children, ranching, and horse training.

This year Lisa goes to the NFR ranked 6th. Her main mount is Fast An Gold aka "Chisum", a chestnut gelding. Lisa has ridden Circle Y saddles for years, and this NFR, she'll be riding one with
her name on it, the 1544 Lisa Lockhart Fast & Furious barrel. Fit for the horse was the primary concern for Lisa. Featuring a Flex2 tree, this saddle was designed to sit down low and close to the horse, flexing with the horse to allow freedom of movement. For the rider, the groundseat keeps you in optimal position. Suede seat, roughout seat jockeys and fenders, and aluminum rubber grip stirrups help keep you secure in the saddle. Pre-twisted fenders keep you comfortable in the saddle, and make it easy to find your stirrup should you lose one during a run. Unique star cutout silver and seat design with snakeskin print inlays are set off by nickle spot trim and floral tooling.

The 1544 Lisa Lockhart Fast & Furious barrel will be making its debut at the NFR-on Chisum and at the tradeshows. See the new saddle at these dealers at the NFR:
