Circle Y is proud to craft Lisa Lockhart's signature collection of Flex2 barrel saddles.

Each year the top 15 WPRA barrel racers qualify to compete in the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas.  Rankings are based on earnings for the competition year.  Circle Y Team of Champions member Lisa Lockhart is among the top competitors racing for the title of World Champion in 2012. 

Lisa Lockhart is a six-time NFR Qualifier in barrel racing, two-time Canadian Finals Rodeo champion, rancher, mother, and horse trainer. Lockhart credits her success to the great support she receives from her family to rodeo professionally. 

Circle Y is proud to craft her signature collection of Flex2® barrel saddles.  Designed for the horse’s freedom of movement, they feature a low profile fit for close contact, designed for foundation type horses that need a wider fit from shoulder to loin, Grip-Rite™ close contact skirt liner for no slip, and pre-shaped fenders for rider comfort with rubber grip stirrups to keep your feet secure.

“My saddles provide a balanced feel for the rider and a great fit for the horse.  I believe these saddles can make a difference giving you the confidence to become a champion!" said Lockhart.

“We are very proud to have Lisa on our Team of Champions, and we wish her the best of luck at the NFR,” said Mark Jemelka, Chief Operating Officer of Circle Y Saddles.

Circle Y is part of the NRS World experience at the MGM Grand Marquee Ballroom where Lockhart will be available for autograph signings, talk about her saddles, and answer questions. Lockhart’s appearance dates and times will be announced.

In addition, Circle Y will give away one saddle a day each day of the rodeo. Shoppers can register daily at the Circle Y booth. The winners will be randomly selected and announced each day at 11:00 a.m. at the Circle Y booth.  Winners must be present to accept their saddle.
