Ask around. You may find some producers or farmers that have been harvesting barley that may have some for sale for you, or who may know a neighbour, friend or relative (and which may know people as well, and so on and so forth) who may be able to sell some to you. You can also find advertisements in local town/county classifieds, local or regional ag newspapers (like the Western Producer for most folks in Western Canada), online classifieds like Craigslist, Kijiji or even eBay, or even some farming websites will have classifieds for you to browse through.
North Dakota, Idaho, Washington and Montana are the top four barley-growing states of the US. Alberta and Saskatchewan (of Canada) are the major barley-producing provinces. You are very likely to run into some farmers that may be willing to sell you some barley straw if you look into these states and provinces.
Barley straw is the straw (stems) left after a barley cereal crop has been harvested. You might find advertisements of suppliers in a local newspaper, or in the telephone book. If there is a riding school nearby, ask there.

Straw is the stemmy material that comes primarily from ceral crops that is discarded out of the harvester combine as chaff. Straw can be from barley, oats, wheat, rye, and triticale.
Straw is a renewable resource. It is made from the stalks of grain crops such as wheat, rice, and barley, which can be grown and harvested annually. As long as sustainable farming practices are followed, straw can be continuously produced and used.
Hay is dried grass or legumes (like alfalfa). Straw is the dried stalks of harvested cereals, such as wheat, barley, and oats.
Farms do not grow straw. Straw is the residue from cereal crops like wheat, barley, rye or oats. After the grain is harvested in the combine and the chaff, which is set to not be spread by the chaff spreader on the rear of the combine, is "dumped" out in a swath out the back. A tractor with a baler implement attached on the back (same baler that is used to bale up hay) gathers up the straw with the pick-up reel and packs and makes it into a straw bale.
Wheat is a type of cereal grass. When the wheat grain is harvested the stalks that remain are referred to as straw. Hay however, is dried grass.
The height that barley grows is dependent on several factors. Firsst is the variety of the barley itself, some are bred to be quite tall to maximize straw yield and ease of harvesting. or shot to minize the straw or debris left in the field. Then we have cultural and environmental factors that will influence the ultimate height of the plant. Examples of these factors are, rainfall, nutrition, weed competition, temperature, plant density, etc. So the simple answer is about 10" to 36" .
