Barrel Prospect? (Pics)

Without knowing any info about her... Do you think her conformation suggests she could be good at barrels? She's only 14 hands.. too small?

I would really appreciate any insight :) Deciding if I should keep her for myself, or as a resale. Thanks!





Sorry shes not totally square.. I can take better pictures if it's hard to tell :)

The pictures aren't the best, but I do not see any huge glaring problems. Just a hair long in the back and just a bit cow-hocked, but really not bad.

Size doesn't matter so much. Heart and ability do. And of course, the horse has to like to run barrels.

There are at least two horses running at the NFR right now that are only 14.2 hands, that have excelled on all size pattern (not just small ones) because they have HEART.

I like her. I'd give her a chance on barrels.

Thank you, her back is pretty long! She also has alot of energy, and her personality makes me think she may enjoy it quite a bit. :)

Shoulder is a pretty upright so her length of stride might be shortened and plus she isn't real big anyways but if she has the heart I'd say go for it!

Thanks guys :) She is having some soreness issues that we think will be fixable by chiro/massage. Once she's sound.. We will see :D
