My 16 year old daughter

My daughter took horseback riding lessons back when she was 10 for a year but decided to take up another sport. She competed in various mini shows at her barn, particularly barrels and did pretty well but it was a small competition. Anyways now she is 16 and decided she wants to start riding again and eventually compete in barrel racing, she also wants to further her riding career by studying equine sciences and agriculture business in college, wanting to open her own ranch. I think that is a little drastic but she has her mind set on it! How should she go about getting competitive in barrel racing and is there anything I should get her into now to help her achieve her goal of owning her own farm. We don't live on a ranch but kinda embrace some of the culture with our city living! Thank you :)

Barrel Racing Trainer

We live in the Colorado Springs area and was wondering if anyone knew a good barrel racing trainer?
My daughter rode awhile back and is going to get back into it and wants to become competitive in barrel racing, and eventually own a horse.

THANK YOU
I'd start out with getting her barrel lessons from a successful barrel racer. I live in Colorado Springs too and I learn from Jamie Harrison from Colorado Springs Therapeutic Riding Center.
Oh perfect! Do you have contact information?
