that looks so fun!! im starting barrel racing and im super excited!!! :)
beautiful horse :] im starting my first time barrel racing EVER 2marro for my 4H group. i've been riding horses ever since i was 2, but i've allways ridden english so this is gonna be a big change lol wish me lluck!!!
very awesome video i race in the barrels and i know how to do this but i will reccomend this video to other people if there not sure what to do
This help me a little to see what I should do to start off I'm going to strt barrel racing soon :D
barrel racing is fun and if you want to train your horse to barrel race practise sharp turns, fast straight canters/gallops and circles around single barrels. Begin to walk your horse around the barrels and help him judge distance then go to faster paces as he begins to get the hang of it always keep your body balanced and dont pick up bad habits. Only thing I about this was the horse cantered not loped :/ loping is more of a slow 1-2 pace. But good key points :)
Hello
at my last lesson my instructor let me try barrels and it was sooo fun!
good :D glad i could help!
@Brooke klingman it doesnt matter the back length of the horse it depends on the heart of the horse
cool thanks
@Morganloveshorses actually a 20 sec run is really slow no matter the pattren
Many people do post in a western saddle. Many trainers and riders do.
Yea 8 do
@KatieBakeins You would REALLY want to drop the outside rein to tip the horses nose and to hold onto the horn. i hold onto the horn now b.c youre horse usually ends up in and youre out
no a tie down is like a crutch! try working with head collection and when ur horse rears push him/her forward and make him/her work! did it with my pony and it worked pretty good!
agreed!
@iluvbarrelracing1 that was the same with my horse! it took me a whole year to actually gain her respect and drop her head. now we're an epic western pleasure pair too lol
@Callygirl89 Ok, but don't blame me when ur reifing on the outside rein because of panic of being to close to the barrel. that happens to almost everybody that uses 2 hands. and its bad for the pockets as well. you tend to pull out instead of using pressure in them
lol, i got a fired up stud who loves to bolt and drink beer, i think i'll survive the high school rodeos
@iluvbarrelracing1 you want controll at absolutely all speeds before you look at speed. but if you want speed, lope him and push him harder after each barrel and get him full out. it took my horse a while to get the galloping concept
Can you hold the saddle horn with your hand still on the rain
@iluvbarrelracing1 haha i have to use spurs on my horse too. that really sucks that he's lame right now! it makes you so sad but it gives you some good quality time with them. hope he gets better soon!
@Squires1112 medicine boots.....whenever i barrel race i always use them and bell boots
thats why on the loping round they had the wrong lead on the second and third barrel... right
Cisisbunnybarn99 awsome job!
@BanditsBarrelBabe to get into barrel racing, like actual competitions in rodeos or events, is there an age limit for teens or can anyone join?
theres also another form called a jog, and they can also canter. they're not just restricted to those
once again agreed!
i usually do that aswell, posting isnt just for english riders, people just dont understand sometimes.
@MsCountrygal18 no the leads come into play...
Oh my goodness she's running in split reins THIS IS THE BEST XD XD XD
My horse has one less back one thing that all other breeds and he's made for sprinting threw deserts for days, he stops on his front legs and kinda hops to the last barrel, and he was almost dead about 2 years ago but he runs 20sec now whille we're working on our turns and he's barely trying.
barrel racing is alot harder than is seems and you can teach most horses to barrel raceimean i toughtmyenglish jumping horsetobarrel race and shes really good at it...but i did like the video.
0:12 "jogging"💀
Rider cuts off to the first barrel late. She is past the barrel when she starts to head towards it.
i am an intermediate barrel racer and i still slow down before the timer lol i guess thats why we havnt won too much
I'm just learning to barrel race..(:
@countrygirl0horseluv Hun, thats kind of the point. Run hard and good time.
True you don't want a longer back and if u horse does it doesnt matter at all
that was so cool and when i barrel race , i barrel race a different horse than i ride and our best time is 16.63 and i am only 11
PLEASE. HOLD ONTO YOUR SADDLE HORN WITH YOUR OUTSIDE HAND WHEN TURNING! It is like being on a rollercoaster without being strapped in! I don't want the rider to get injured.

if you make a smaller pocket on your first barrel you will pattern that horse alot better for a faster time
i so agree! she didnt go to the horn once! that horse wasnt gatered at all! they shouldnt be teaching when they dont kno what their doing!
@PocosLadyCutter05 i know i saw that!
my horse is 12 years old is too old he is a appy so i dont no i .and what stuff do u have to get for barrel racing please help me i am 11 i got my horse for my 11# birthday so please tell me if he is too old thank you bye
what's the oldest your horse can be to barrel race??
the youngest if 4 and the oldest is until it can't run no more.
Rachael Toler my moms horse ran full out until he was 31
@rooke4
Dear Lord I'm old!! lol I started racing when I fourteen.
when she comes to the barrel she needs to let the horses hips pass and then turn when she is trotting and loping when she runs the horse will finish the barrel its self if u watch the horse comes out and goes in wide the first to barrels u save times getting closer and turning when hips get even with the barrel it but only when running she dosn't needs to come in so wide to that first and second barrel at the last the horse needs to go out wide like she did and come in close and run home
If u start in the middle of the arena and ride straight to third and gradually come back over and give ur horse a pocket u will not fly by the barrel or hit it on the way out
Its called walk, trot, lope,gallop
but other than that she did good that is just my opinion haha if u don't like u don't have to listen just some pointers i thought i might just give ya haha it worked for me though i run a 14 on my horse i have some videos they arn't that good i don't have any of my videos that have my other horse i say i run a 14 on but i love the video bye haha
I do agree this is a pretty rediculous video. Its okay for those who have never even see the pattern. you have to add so much more stuff. rate points. turn points. correct equipment. she didn't slow her horse down around the barrels during the slow work. I would like for the mto be farther from the barrel because as they gain speed to the 1D the will lean into them therefore not enough room to allow for that. this horse cut off its back turn points and went wide into. Just thoguht I would help!
The rider has a great seat, even for racing, just the wrong horse.
So since the pattern at my shows is a bit larger than say an NBHA pattern and our average placing times are between 19-21 that's slow? I find your statement of "a 20 sec run is really slow no matter the pattren" a bit messed up. Some of these horses at my shows if you put them on the NBHA pattern they're consistantly placing in the 1D times, most often between 1st and 3rd. I suggest you do your homework a little better before downing 20 sec patterns.
when you turn you are suppose to grab the horn with your out side hand
No you don't grab the horn at all only in calf roping or emergency with fear that you may fall off
+allydagator yes you do, when you go around the barrel you grebe the horn with your outside hand. If you don't believe me, watch the professionals do it
your not supposed to I barrel race and don't, keep both hands on the reigns
+allydagator I guess you don't have to but you should. Everyone does it. Just watch the nfr.
+allydagator Not to sound rude, but have you ever actually seen barrel racing? The VAST majority of people put a hand on the horn when doing barrels at speed to keep themselves from losing balance and potentially ruining the run. There isn't a written rule about it, but it's one of those unspoken rules. If the horse doesn't require two hands around a barrel, you use one.
You do NOT want a long back, longer backs make it harder for the horse to turn the barrel quick and smoothly. And a long back has nothing to do with the stride, the stride has to do with the slope of the shoulder and the length of the underline of the horse.
My dream is to own a ranch, get 2 jobs with to do with horses, an I am at a young not too young age.. And I really have been dreaming to own a horse, ride English for my first time, and I want to teach children Barrel racing, ect.. So is pole bending, barrel racing safe for 9+? or somethkg...
Barrel racing and pole bending are soley a western sport and don't let a child under 10+ into a gallop unless highly supervised or padded walls and a safe horse I learned to ride at the age of five but I wasn't allowed to gallop until I was seven and that was only because of my experience
+allydagator I don't recommend barrel racing for younger kids way to dangerous
allydagator Then what age is BEST for barrel racing because I see a lot of kids barrel racing..
i really hope your dream comes true never stop believing my dream is to own a big ranch with lots of cows and horses and other animals and to become a vet but also to own a horse right now i have been asking my parents for one sints i was 5
Awe :U
This video is very misleading and it's not a very good demonstration at all. When you start a horse on the pattern, you start at a WALK, and you DO NOT advance to a faster pace until the horse is doing the pattern CORRECTLY. This horse was dropping his shoulder pretty much every time on the first and second barrel and it needs to be corrected before it becomes a habit.
+BarrelsPolesandJack That is very true but by the way he handles going around the barrels I think he was already started. I think this was meant to introduce the sport to a younger audience to persuade them to try it.
+BarrelsPolesandJack And yes that dropping the shoulder can become a problem. My horse has tended to do that. I walk him up on the barrel and where he starts to bring his shoulder in to early, I turn him around in the opposite direction. < Fallon Taylor
BlueBlazesWildcat you are right yeah you are right
BlueBlazesWildcat PREACH!!!!
quarter horses r barrel horses if you watch the event ALMOST all r QHs the others r paints!!
almost every body i know
you wont see ANY pro neck reining round barrel haha
23 seconds
They really need to work on the finer points with that horse, she didn't even point out that the horse was on the wring lead the entire time it was loping.
You're conceded. I looked at some of the comments you put on other people's videos and you act like a big know it all and really what you're suggesting to the riders is not relevant to their situation.And frankly a lot of them seem condenscending and rude. You could be a student spouting off what her trainer says for all I know. You surely don't have evidence on your account to back up that you train barrel horses. You have two videos of text, not enough for your advice to be credible.
@lekoo23 u shood see all the mean things shes saying to me...
that horse did it very nicely and neat but he wasn't very fast...... I mean even my horse that doesn't really enjoy it and we have just started training can go 3x faster when she wants to.....
@bubbayum11 ummmm im not criticizing any one. ur right this is a very basic barrel racing video but when u say that this is a highly trained horse and rider nobody's gonna believe you because it doesnt look like it! and how would u kno that im 12? do you stalk me?
@lekoo23 yea and this babbyum kid keeps freaking out at me !!!!
o yea im 12. and how would u kno that?
None of you are correct actually. Horses natural gaits are walk,trot,canter. Western or english (unless gaited). The terms walk,jog,lope only apply in western showing, and showing only. They mean the same thing though.
for the third time agreed :D they should actually learn b4 they teach. and it looks like they're running in the middle of an industrial park!?!?! wtf?!?!
it was very choppy and the rider didnt even go to the horn once.
People may do as they damn well please....But it's commonly used to get the circulation going in the horse's back.
yea and aperantly im 12?!?!?!
Non mi piace assetto , il modo in cui tiene le briglie e il tipo di imboccatura.....😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Ya that is slow still watch the pros run they run like a 18 on a foot ball feild!
if you really knew what you were doing you would be smart enough to know that a 20 sec run on a huge pattern is really good. sounds to me you dont know what your talking about.
@my17time Needs constant guinding? I do not think so! Have you watched any top horses recently? I can bet you, you will probably find very few that uses both hands around the turn. considering you don't have any videos of you doing anything even concerning barrel racing I do not consider you even a credible source. so please study some tope horses. Thank you very much.
Uhhhhh a lot of people? Western horses aren't jogging 100% of the time, and not all of them are smooth rides - would you rather post or slam around on your horses back while he's long trotting at speed?
wow i cant believe bubbayum is still sticking up for this video! GIVE IT UP ALREADY!!!! i am not twelve. I happen to be 15. its not cool to sit there and criticize everyone who bashes this movie.... BECAUSE IT DOES SUCK! and i dont happen to see any videos of u barrel racing.... so u shouldnt sit there picking on people OVER THE COMPUTER! give it up already!
Barrel Racing hurts the horse a lot, horses are not meant to turn on a dime like that can no one see that don't you dare comment down saying it was trained to do that horses are forced to do that they are forced to accept that hey this what i get to do for the rest of my life, and yes i have been in western and English and i know how much pain it brings the horse to jump on their back and ride at a gallop and turn them on a dime and jump the horse higher than they're supposed too
After 15 minutes of riding a horse they will start to get inflammation in they're back
+The WaitWhat PodCast Yes I agree turning fast and such things like slamming against their back could hurt joints. But I would also like to point out that I do this also. On my stud horse he is full blown mustang. The best way to test a horse and see if their is any inflamation of such or if the horse hurts is but rubbing your fingers down their back. My horse has a strong back. I truly believe what youre saying is correct but the horses that you see may not be rode enough to have such strong carrage. The only thing that may hurt this horse is it can and will mess with them mentally. All they start to believe is run when they see an alley way or arena causing them to be ring sour. That's when a horse becomes dangerous to himself and the rider. But with the right training and time spent, you can avoid this.
+The WaitWhat PodCast The horses believe it or not are actually trained to turn the barrels the speed is just what makes it look very quick. They're taught to use their rear end going around the barrels. And if you stretch your horse properly before ever working them you can also avoid lots of damage to your horse. They're just like humans.
flossy... you shoulda spent more time in english class then barrel racing you won money not one it.
They chose the wrong, horse, rider and speaker for this video. This makes me laugh. This isn't "how to barrel race." Please don't take advice from this video or rider. Go to a josey, charmayne or good local clinic and really learn how to barrel race.
well theres some good things about this video... and some bad..... i dont even know where to start. Is this a professional video? *Next time... Get a script* the lady seems like shes scrambling for words. and chose a different location. Barrel racing in an industrial park? WTF. very basic knowledge is all that these people have. compare these loping patterns to some of the top barrel racers today. theres a difference.
