- Masters Saddles is a premium Brazilian saddle brand well regarded in the competitive western community, particularly among serious barrel racers who want quality craftsmanship and performance without compromise. McDonald’s Saddlery is one of the few Australian retailers to stock the Masters range. The BR2241 is a purpose-built competition barrel saddle. The seat and jockeys are finished in roughout suede — providing grip and security through tight turns and fast runs — and the saddle is detailed throughout with floral tooling and silver conchos with stud detailing, giving it a polished, competition-ready appearance that doesn’t sacrifice function for style. At the heart of the design is a deep pencil roll seat. The pencil roll — the slight raised roll at the front of the seat — positions the rider securely and helps prevent forward movement through the turns. Combined with the close contact feel from the shaped skirts, it keeps you connected to the horse through the barrel pattern rather than absorbing movement from a bulkier design. The BR2241 comes in a 15″ seat with a 6.5″ gullet on a Semi-Quarter Horse Bar (SQHB) tree. The SQHB tree suits horses with slightly higher withers or a more defined shoulder — common in breeds popular in barrel racing such as Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred crosses. At $3,600, the BR2241 is a significant investment. For riders competing seriously at a high level, saddle construction directly affects performance and longevity — and Masters delivers on both.
