 YOAKUM, Texas (October 5, 2009): Circle Y Saddles, Inc., America’s Leading Saddle Brand, has created the new Kenda Lenseigne Men’s Rundown Shooter saddle made specifically for male competitors in Cowboy Mounted Shooting.
Kenda, champion cowboy mounted shooter and six-time world record holder, collaborated with Circle Y to create her special shooting saddle earlier this year. With plans to expand the line, Circle Y worked with her to create a design comfortable and functional for men.
Cowboy Mounted Shooting requires riders to ride at full speed negotiating an arena course using two single action cowboy guns loaded with black powder blanks to take out balloon targets set in various patterns. A saddle that fits the horse and rider properly is critical for success and prolonged performance from the horse in this fast-paced event. Both styles of shooting saddles have the Circle Y Flex2® tree which conforms to the horse and allows for freedom of movement. The saddle is lightweight and has a shock absorbing skirt for additional comfort for the horse. A roughout seat jockey, fenders, and suede seat help the rider stay in position. The adjustable stirrup leather positioner strap determines the amount of leg swing the rider prefers. The swell is low and tilted forward for maximum clearance of the two guns and holsters riders are wearing. “Circle Y is honored to have Kenda on our team for the valuable insight and knowledge she has for this growing sport. We are excited about the newest shooting saddle made with men in mind,” said Mark Jemelka, general manager of Circle Y Saddles. Kenda Lenseigne splits her time between her ranches in Arizona and Washington while she trains horses and riders for mounted shooting in addition to traveling and teaching clinics in over 30 events across the country. She is a four-time CMSA World Point Champion, two-time CMSA Reserve World Champion, and six-time world record holder. Visit kendalenseigne.com to learn more.
