Team of Champions Spotlight: Kenda Lenseigne

Kenda Lenseigne is an amazing horsewoman and fierce competitor in Cowboy Mounted Shooting. She is the reigning overall World Champion and a multiple world record holder. I mean really, is there anything cooler than riding your horse full out, shooting a gun, and working as a team with your horse? Because of Kenda’s success in Mounted Shooting, she has designed a signature line of KL Shooting Saddles with Circle Y from the tree out. While these saddles can’t guarantee you won’t miss your target, they will:
1) help keep you in a balanced position with the deep, dished seat and 4 ½” cantle
2) provide grip with the suede seat and rough out seat jockeys and fenders
3) let you position your fenders to your riding style with a stirrup leather positioner
4) free your horse to do his job because of the Flex2® Shooter tree which works in several ways-it has some flex with the low density bars so your horse can move freely, but has high density bars under the groundseat that will not collapse in the middle so you have good weight distribution which is the whole point of proper saddle fit. Furthermore, the Neo-Shock™ skirt provides superior comfort to your horse because it absorbs shock and conforms to the horse's back
5) gives you some extra room to get your guns because the swell is low and tilted forward
6) reduce knee and ankle fatigue with pre-twisted stirrup leathers
7) be easy to carry and put on your horse because they're lightweight at 27 lbs.
8) give you years of service with proper care because of the Circle Y hand made quality built in every one

There are two KL Shooters-2401 Quick Shot (pictured right) which has beautiful floral tooling, a rawhide braided horn, silver spots and brown iron silver star conchos

The 2402 Men’s Rundown (left) is designed for men and has a flatter rise for comfort and looks more manly with flint rawhide accents and basketweave tooling.

While Circle Y will provide you with the best gear, be sure to check out Kenda’s website to find your next horse or improve your horsemanship and shooting skills. Shop online for KL Shooting Saddles here.
