Barnes buckles.....have they disappeared?

[Cheiro1]

(Also in CR as not sure where best)

I am hoping someone can help me.

I want another pair of Barnes buckles for a new saddle, but everyone seems to say unavailable or not sell them.

Have they vanished off the market?

are they a make or design?

Have you tried www.horseandharmony.co.uk or www.welshsaddlery.co.uk?
Showing on their sites but probably best to ring them.
Can't imagine they'd have stopped making them as widely used in the racing industry.
Good luck with the search!

ThePony they are a make I believe.

These http://www.bettersaddles.co.uk/acatalog/Barnes_Buckles.html are what they are, although they are "unavailable"

Sassie I think im being really blind because I can't find them on either of those links?

There is a new design for competition use, maybe problems with supply,

i got some 2nd hand (unused - person had bought them but didn't fit their sturrips)

would be a shame if they had gone out of business as i think they are a v good idea...
