Pursuing Barrel Racing!

2650 Views 28 Replies 9 Participants Last post by  MacabreMikolaj
I am so excited to be finally in a direction of a sport. I am working with a trainer to get me up to par to compete in barrels. I am so excited! There is so much I need to work on, but I suppose I can't expect it all to come together in 2 lessons :p. Anyone have any tips/suggestions, things to remember or watch out for? I am a tall girl and I know that can work against me, and at the moment I have octopus arms lol, I need to control 'em. Anywho, I'm stoked!

wow! i thought I was tall, and I'm 5'7". But anyways, I agree with the above advice. And really get your seat and position and get comfortable with the horse before you go. And also, like mentioned above, be really careful about being on the bit.
