Barnes Buckles

They basically don't exist any more - the company shut down, (I believe the bloke died).

Sometimes they appear on ebay, but more likely, ask around everywhere. I finally got a pair as my saddler knew she had some lying around in the shop - I picked them up today funnily enough! x

Ah so that's what happened to them; suddenly they "appeared" and were all the rage, then they just disappeared.

I did buy a pair ages ago, and if I do manage to dig them out I'll PM you OP.

I never used them; maybe perhaps I never really trusted them not to undo accidentally - and so wonder if anyone DID use them....... any feedback anyone?

Been using mine for 3 years and they’ve never come undone….touches wood :). Don’t jump or anything exciting but my horse is young so they’ve stood plenty of spooks, spins and bombing offs.
 
I use them as does my RI who events:) Brill bit of kit, hope another company takes them on, i want a 2nd pair for my other saddle!
 
I used mine for a couple of years while my horse was young and unpredictable. They never came apart unexpectedly, but when he bucked me off and took off I sat up to find my stirrup on the path beside me.
