Answer 1

If it is a western saddle it would look ok, no matter the color. But a English saddle would not be suitable on a Barrel Horse.Good Luck!

Answer 2

In my opinion, synthetic saddles don't hold up, I would go with a real leather one.  Looks more professional as well.  Just my opinion. =)

Answer 3

Synthetic saddles are sensitive to light. A good, heavy duty leather saddle that's made for barrell racing would work better and last longer.

Answer 4

I'd be more concerned about it fitting the horse properly rather than looking good!  I would recomend that you only by saddles from a professional saddler.  At least this way you can guarantee that it fits the horse correctly.

Answer 5

looks great
