Don't worry you will get it, just takes time:)
Like to see a western rider not saying to sit back like a cutter. Dressage, balance… love it!
I agree ! That's the best way for barrel racers to have Balance, but cutters have to sit back ❤
A tip for learning/finding balance for Horseback... Ride bareback for a bit, move WITH your horse. Gain a feel for their movements, work on balancing in a walk, then when youre stable move to a trot, and after you're balanced in a trot without bouncing everywhere, move into a Lope. If you can get up to a lope bareback, safe bet that you've found your balance point.
This helps me so so much! I am in an intermediate class and I'm currently trying to move up to the barrel class. My instructors told me I have to start working on body awareness with not locking my arms and tense up. I'm trying to get better at balance and this helped me understand so much! Thank you so so much!
not me watching this after i got bounced off a fiery mare!😂😂 i’ve been riding for 18 years...going back to the basics lol
Ohh shoot 😫
Thank you for the tips I’m always slipping around on the saddle I’m finally getting a barrel pony!
Great video!! Thank you for these great tips!!
Thank you for sending me a link!🤗
This is incredible. I’m heading over to the barn, wanting to work on my balance. Knowing that barrel racers have some of the best, I searched for balance when barrel racing and found this. Hardly anything has consistently helped me keep my balance. I’ll be working on all of this, especially without stirrups! I became so focused on keeping my heels down at one point that I didn’t think about anything else balance-wise. Maybe not relying on them at all will help me a whole lot more. Thank you for this!
Been riding a long time, though very infrequently. I think I balance OK at a walk but have been unable to progress to trot. Hopefully these suggestions will help.
It’s so ironic I was thinking about my balance at practice and then your video popped up in my notifications😭
Vianney Navarrete Aww that’s perfect!

Thank you so much. I love how you explain things, you truly have talent in teaching. Looks like your in Utah?.
Your thumbnail is awesome!!!
The Project Equestrian Aww thank you!! Got lucky with the sun that day hahah
Thank you!!!!
You're welcome!
I looooove your saddle bag. I wish english saddles had more options for saddle bags!
RunOnBarbaro Thank you! I know that would be awesome if they had those!
RunOnBarbaro I believe it's a Saddle Sack, and I think they are coming out with some for English soon!
This is super informative! I'd love to do barrel racing but there is no where near me that does it (I'm in the UK) but it's interesting how some of the principals are the same to how we are taught to ride over here. More people should ride with their eyes closed. I sometimes do this as I am super unbalanced (just had a baby so my muscles are all over the place)as it helps to refocus and pinpoint where to fine tune my position.
Horse Hacks20 Glad you enjoyed! I have had a lot of people tell me that they live in the UK and don’t have anywhere near that does it🤷🏼♀️ Congratulations on the new baby!
@@barrelracingtraininghelp thank you!
There is definitely a gap in the market over here. It's something I really want to try as it's quite high adrenaline and looks so fun. I'm not really into show jumping competitions or dressage 🙈
Horse Hacks20 It’s a blast! Hopefully one of these days you’ll get to❤️
Good job👌
Shawnee Harward Thanks girl!! ❤️❤️

@@barrelracingtraininghelp so my horse took off and i she would not stop if she does not lisen what do i do
@@alysancho1187 I would go back to a lot of ground work, that will build respect in the saddle;)
@@barrelracingtraininghelp but my mom thinks i was pokeing her a little with my spares i dont know if i was
@@barrelracingtraininghelp the horse name is maria
I see this video is old, but hoping to get a response to help me understand. You said without stirrups you need to ride the back of the horse instead of the front. What does this mean?
I have a problem with one foot goin forward when I’m in a canter
I’d love to send you a video of my 3rd lope and see if you can help me improve my seat
Go for it!
Is iceman a quarter horse? He’s beautiful!
Thank you!! Yes he is:)
i dont have good mobility with my legs when i ride. does anyone have any tips?
I want to barrel race so bad but I have a ten year old mare and shes not broke. I want a gelding.
I want to get into barrel racing could you do a video on all the stuff I would need please?

hi and i have a question why do you need bit protectors for barrel racing?
Addison Price I just use them to the bit just spent ever have a risk of pinching the side of there mouth:)
@@barrelracingtraininghelp ok because my trainer uses them too thanks
I sorta have a problem. When I’m riding in a lope I can’t figure out how to sit down into my saddle. Any tips?
This video should be able to help if you watch it:)
I’m trying to gain my trust of walking in the back of the hores
so do you sit back in your saddle?
halle c Did you watch the whole video? I answered that question in there:)
I have trouble with bouncing out my saddle when loping can I get some advice?
Watch this video it will explain and give you lots of tips:)
Thanks💛
I used to have trouble with that to, it could be balance or your saddle is to small or big!
@@mylabailey6663 my saddle is a size big but I got it like that because I’m only 13 but I’ve learned to balance and sit in my saddle but thanks for the advice!
@@mylabailey6663 saddle size can help but if you have great balance it shouldn’t matter what kind of a size saddle you have:)
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this question but do you ride English or western?
Western:)
Western
POV: your horses are gaited
Do you have any tips to avoid tensing up?
Sure do! Let me link a video below to help:)

Singing will help
@@charlenedasta5865 how??
@@kayleighmae7327 if u sing it takes your mind off of what’s going on while on the horse it will relax your body then if your not tense your horse will calm as well. I tell my kids to sing Happy Birthday or they can tell the pony/horse their whole life story. Even talking helps relax your body.
