Katies Coast to Coast carried those copy-cat barrels for awhile. They are smaller than the Seventeenflats, the wire is thinner, and definately cheaper all the way around. She started selling the Seventeenflats instead.


I got Seventeenflat barrels 2 years ago for Christmas and they have been in my trailer since the day after Christmas. I don't leave home without them. You never know when the rodeo commitee is going to take the barrels and you need to work a colt you are hauling, or your open horse needs slow work. They have been a life saver and have paid for themselves ten times over. I won't leave home without them. They are probably the best investment ever, and the best Christmas present my Mother-in-law has ever given me.


I have the SeventeenFlat and highly recommend them. They are well worth the money.


I don't use mine a whole lot because I have metal barrels in my arena, I got the pop ups
to put out in the pasture just to have a different place to work the pattern occasionally
and I like the fact that they fold down easily, go in the bag and are out of the way when I don't need them. Great product!!!


You can't go wrong with buying the originals from Denise at Seventeenflat. She has integrity and will honor her product guarantee.


I have a set of the Seventeen Flat barrels and I think the best thing about them is how convenient they are. I like the holding bag. When I boarded my horse out at a dressage barn, I'd carry my barrels out, set them up, and than take them down, no mess, no fuss. No one got upset and I didn't bang my shins when picking them up!


My husband bought me the Seventeen flats for Christmas one year and I love them!-


I just have a 1/2 acre turn out at my house for my 2 horses, no arena or area to ride. So I trailer a couple miles up the road to a public arena. There aren't any barrels and lugging around plastic or metal barrels would be a pain. I haul in, put the carrying case on the horn, go down to the arena, bust em out, use them, pack them away and call it a day!
Super convienent for me.


I love love love Seventeenflat barrels. They are easy to move around and since most places use barrels like them for time only's I thought it was a good investment so my colts will know what they look like.
Thank you Seventeenflat!


Authentic, patented Seventeen Flat Barrels from Denise Madsen http://seventeenflat.com/............. I would just spend that extra little bit of money and get hers. They close, they have a bag, they are the bomb, and they hold up REALLY well. I have a son who thinks they are his personal tents and they are still solid, solid, solid.


Get the original and feel good, you are not only helping another barrel racer in her business, but you're getting a quality product that has taken her years to get "perfect."


I absolutely LOVE my Seventeenflat barrels. I have had them since they first came out and they still look new! Those barrels have been all over the US w. me and in most arenas. I had the original carry bag that was in bad shape and i called to get a replacement and they were soo nice to talk to. They sent me a wonderful new carry bag since they have improved their material since they first started.. I highly recommend this brand. They are very much worth the $ and its not even that high priced for the product and YEARS your going to get out of them.
