Barrel saddles

Hey all barrel racers,
I'm looking at buying a barrel saddle and wondering what everyone likes.
What is your favorite brand?
Square skirt or round?
Treeless or tree?
Any thing else you have to help me out would be great.

I do not ride a lot and I would be doing games with this saddle too. My daughters have a RS saddle and they like it.
Thanks for your help

Absolute favorite among friends and family....Billy Cook Feather Barrel Racer...they like the way it sits and rides, and the fit on most horses...

My daughter has two Billy Cooks and loves them. I ride in a Cowboy Tack but good luck trying to find one ....

ETA: I use square skirts, always a tree and personally think there are a lot of good brands out there. If I didn't have my Cowboy Tack saddle I would like a Pozzi

I've got a Billy Cook, square skirt that I've had for about a year and a half now (and I bought it used) and I don't think I'd want to run barrels in anything else. It fits all 3 of my horses (including my appendix QH) and is very comfortable and sturdy. I've put a ton of miles on this saddle since I got it and it's still in great shape.

My daughter rides in one with the rounded skirt and the saddle pads fit funny underneath it. She is using a rounded saddle pad which of course will not work with any other saddle...just something to think about.
