The rider's stirrup/boot touching or almost touching the ground as the horser is turning the barrel? Haven't been able to find any online. Thanks!

What are you needing the picture for?

Some people don't like others using their pictures and it's something you should ask before doing..It's actually quite the controversial topic.

 

[poundinghooves]

Actually, I don't need it for anything. I'd let you know if it was actually going to be used for a project or something. If someone didn't want a person using it they wouldn't give it to them. Don't want to offend anyone or anything.......

 

[DrumRunner]

I just meant you randomly using Google to find pictures and then maybe using them...I don't think I have any myself..Not touching the ground at least but it's not too rare.

My mare is too tall...Lol! At 15.3 hh I would be scared if she came that close to the ground in a turn for my foot to touch the ground...tehehehe! Although some of the horses I grew up on were short and fast, and I'm sure some of our turns were close to the ground, just never got good shots...sorry...:wink:

 

[poundinghooves]

Yeah, I'm not using them for anything. I'd just like to see some pictures. I'm looking at a 14.1 hh gelding right now who can supposebly turn barrels so tight that your boot will touch the ground so I'm just kinda fascinated by it :lol:

This is probably the best picture I have on my laptop where my foot is close to the ground...

 

[poundinghooves]

Wow, thanks. Your foot is pretty close to the ground. Awesome quality photo BTW

 

[DrumRunner]

Thanks, she's a really nice mare and always gives me her all..The picture was take by Glossy Finish at State Championships..They are expensive but worth it.

good picture Drumrunner

 

[DrumRunner]

Thank you.

 

[Country Woman]

this is amazing what you and your horse can do
I have barrel raced but not as fast as you

 

[DrumRunner]

Thank you, that's an awesome compliment..It just takes practice and having a horse that really clicks you with and is more of a team mate than just a horse you're riding..I'm very lucky to have the horses I do..I've been running seriously competing for 7 or 8 years now..

This is my little crew..and a few more barrel pictures

 

[Country Woman]

very nice
Have you heard of Kelly Kyle Frosy wife of the late Lane Frost

 

[DrumRunner]

Yeah, I have...that movie is also SO sad..I cry like a baby when I watch it. I have to admit, after seeing the movie I semi-stalked everything about it and the people involved through out Lane's life..

Yea I got the privialge to see Lane ride at the Cloverdale Rodeo in BC

I still cry every time I watch the movie 8 Seconds
and I know his buddy Cody designed the protective vest that
all the cowboys wear
if only Lane would have wore one
did you know Lane was the same age as me too

That's really neat, I would have loved to see him ride..

I know you answered this on another thread, SOMEWHERE, but I can't find it...
Why were you using your outside hand again?:lol:

 

[DrumRunner]

I thought I was going to knock the barrel over and wanted to "save" it if I could..I ended up not hitting it though so it's all good..
