  • I LOVE BARREL RACING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • okay why dont we just let people have fun and just barrel race or pole bend its not about how good they are its about if they have a passion for it or love it at least they want to ride theire horses .........

  • reaaly? there's a picture in there of a boy doing poles....thats not barrel racing.

  • gosh i miss barrel racing sooo much.....damn college

  • i'm not much of a barrel racer but that photoge was awsome

  • Somewhere behind the barrel racer you've become,

    the hours of riding,

    the horses u pushed,

    the horses that pushed u,

    and your parents and fans who cheer for u,

    is the little girl who fell in love with the sport

    and never looked back

  • @CountryPlayList i`m one of those little girls who feel in love with the sport :)

  • @ajlover16 thats good, you should post some videos of you barrel racing :)

  • @CountryPlayList You are so right:)

  • Thank you so much for making this video its not easy to barrel race....trust me i do lol

  • so... just saying... ive done clinics with Pat Parelli, Clinton Anderson, Charmayne James, Tiffany Poulin, and even one exclusive one with Brittani Parazzi, and all of them say that you SHOULD grab the horn. it keeps your ass down, shoulders and hands forward, and keeps you in the center of the horses back, so you don't throw them off balance by bouncing. so stop whining about how good riders dont grab the horn, because KNOWLEDGABLE riders DO grab the horn.

  • You are a effin good barrel racer there chicka. Your horses are VERY pretty.! This song fits very well. Nice choice. (:

  • HOLLY CRAP!!!! THE SECOND PICTURE IS ME!!!!! WHERE DID YOU GET THE PIC!!!

  • @eventer67 Yes, it does make sense. In fact, you seem to be the only person that doesn't understand what I said. And yes, I do know what I'm talking about.

  • @eventer67 I wasn't saying that you needed to whip the horse, I was saying that the horse was whipping around the barrel. As in, the horse was turning extremely fast, like a whip. Make sure you read the comment correctly before you post stupid shit.

  • This is a CRACK-UP!!! U don't hold ur horn the whole time ur making ur run lol. It's just to help u & ur horse set up together & balance when coming into & out of ea barrel. U want 2 make sure u have the proper seat, get the right pocket, it's all about balance. If ur going that fast u want 2 make sure ur ass is in the seat. BR is a dangerous sport, just like jumping. What next r u gonna tell them they're crappy riders and don't need their helmets?! Tell that 2 the 1's in the summer OLYMPICS! ha

  • Barrel racing is such an epic sport ! I love to watch it . I hold my horn like a real barrle racer so... what a great video ! BArrELl RaCIngROcks!! <3 :D

  • When im riding i use both hands on the reins but when i turn around the barrels i use my horn it helps keep me in the saddle

  • was great,my daughter does this..great to watch

  • LOVED IT! :) I dont grab the horn when i go around... But i frikin love to barrel race! Great video!!!

  • Hanging on to th horn saves lives, If I had not hung on to my horn barrel racing my mare when she went down she would have trampled me , Hanging On The Horn Saves Lives!!!!!! No Joke!!!!

  • LillyNRufus i like to keep pushing even if i know a barrel over because you never know how many other girls will knock some over and you may still get a faster time than them and place or get points

  • Thank you for making this video!! It really shows how awesome barrel racing is!! Great job!

  • i want to barrel race so bad its on of my favorite things to do. it sucks though cuz i cant have no horses =[. i did have two but my uncle gave it back cuz it bucked me and the other one my family gave it to me as a irthday present then took him back its so gay

  • i love to barrel race

  • i love this song and video!!!

  • love that song!!!! and i love barrels its supper fun!!!

  • love it! 0when i knock down a barrel i always just say forget it, and lope back, why waste your horses energy whn you fucked up?!

  • LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! We did Barral Racing in camp today, I taught my horse Dare to do Barral Racing for the first time ever!!!!! He is AWSOME!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO AND I LOVE DARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • uhhmm really your critisizing each other about who holds the horn and who doesnt my lord! theyre both fine it juss depends on your riding styleee so nobodys right heree there argument overr! (:

  • Ride'em

  • I grab the horn too, its hard to hang on when your horse is goin that fast. :D And when you hang on and dont throw your horse off, then you can go FASTER! Not hanging on could throw your horse off and slow ya down so...how is that possible?

  • i am a barrel racer i DONT hold my horn, but its TOTALY up to the rider it dont mean a thing because you do or dont hold your horn, but on trails this is a different story :) thanks

  • omg the first horse looks exactly like my horse and runs like it toooo!!!!!!!! hahah

  • AphroditeAllure :

    Hahah, Who doesn't grad the horn ? , what Are western saddles mad for ? , if you notic all of them have a horn , or something hold on too . ? I mean i'd feel weird running 13 secs. around the pattern and not holding on to something ? , hahah. Your horse much be lame legged or something ? , Cause any of us GOOD riders hold the horn .

  • AphroditeAllure: holding the horn actually helps the horse get around the barrel. Keeps the rider more balanced so the horse isn't thrown off balance and can get around and on to the next barrel as fast as he can. There a lot more to barrel racing then speed..

  • @downgirl101 i hold the saddle horn for the simple reason that i dnt like landing my ass in the dirt and my horses have so much power that if i dnt hold SOMETHING thats where ima be.. its totally up the the ridder however mysister can run a 14.8 patteren and never touch anything but the reins and popper.

  • Cool vid! But the song I dont like!!

Can't wait till saturday when i can do some more barrels ^.^ Thank you nuggnugg07!

  • I have a 22 year old too! WE always get low 16s andd one 15... amazingly dont let the age foolya

  • Older horses are always nearly always the better at barrels coz they know the dril flat out and exactly when to turn most of the nationals horses in oz are late teens or early 20s simply the best i reckon!

  • I have a 22 year old barrel horse he used to show with OBRA and HE IS AWSOME!! our best time is 16.835 and that was our second show ever .. I have onlyhad him scence may and I am PUMPED to see how we do next year! :P

Soo yha ill have vids for u guys :D add meh

  • i love barrel racing

  • I want to do it

  • Awesome song and video!!!!

  • really good racing! barrel racing is amazing i could do it all day long

  • i beleivee thatt your hornn is there to helpp you stay off your horses facee and if you have balancee good for you i may be young butt i knoww alott im not trying to be cocky but apollowhatever the rest of your username says if i was you i wouldd justt shutt yourr mouthh peacee !

  • Awesome video, i barrel race.

  • I would like to say to AphroditeAllure, that that's great if you don't have to grab your horn. But grabbing my horn around those barrels helps me sit my ASS in that seat so that i don't go flying foreward onto my horses neck. So you ride how you ride and the rest of us barrel racers( who might have learned from racers who have gone to plenty of state finals that have taught them to grab there horns) will grab our horns. NOT cause were bad riders cause were GOOD riders. So have a good year! =)

  • @quarabhusky A lot of professional barrel racers suggest that you don't grab your horn, simply because having both hands on the reins allows for more precise control of the horse's head and shoulders. It takes practice to be able to sit the turns correctly, but as long as you have a good seat you should be able to sit your turns without holding the horn. There isn't a right and a wrong way, but I'd much rather have the extra control that both hands gives me.

  • @Horselvr139 but most barrel horses have a crazy side and they will whip them seves aroud a barrel so fast you could go off one side haha! i dont with mine because if i dont ride with two hande around the barrels then she will drop that front end and fall on me AGAIN.

  • @crazyformisty123 After a while you should get used to how your horse turns, though, even if they do whip around a barrel. Eventually you should be able to sit it, and then not have to rely on the horn to set yourself.

  • @Horselvr139 agreeable

  • i dont hold on to the saddle horn and i have raced for three years almost 4 and i have enogh leg strenghth to hold me on,try that!it works for me since i have shown pleasure for 5 years or so.

  • hey my horse is western pleasure trained and kicks ass in the arena yet she stills kicks ass doin barrels too!!!!!!

  • me too i like to go fast around barrels

  • atleast some agrees lol =)

  • seriously AphroditeAllure chill. im a barrelracer AND i jump. yes we all can run our horses without horn, hell i race my horse without a saddle/bridle. but when i barrelrace i grab horn around the barrel. that doesnt make me a bad rider. it just helps keep you in position. that doesnt make any of us bad riders. do you barrel race like on a good horse? cause if you don't then it just shows how ignorant you are. because boasting how good you are&you've never done this makes you look like an idiot

  • No, I do barrel race, I think the horns there for emergency, Im not meaning to boast at all.

  • Comment removed

  • holding the horn helps to hold your seat as you go fast around tight corners. AphroditeAllure, Barrel racing aint as easy as it looks on pro horses. It takes skill.I am a barrel racer

  • well everyone does. it also reminds you to drop the other rein incase you have a tendancy to hang on by the reins. it doesnt make you a bad barrel racer just because you hold onto the horn

  • some horses turn different though. it depends on how ur horse turns

  • whats with the last clip? the pattern doesnt look right?

  • I just dont get it though, if your a good barrel racer why are people holding onto the horn. Idk, maybe its just me.

  • if you're flyin to a barrel and all the sudden your horse rounds a barrel as fast as he can, wouldnt you wanna hold onto somethin so you dont go flyin

  • hmmm, if you can ride you dont have to, I dont. But idk.

  • wait so if your a good barrel racer you dont have to hold on to the horn? look at tyrney and mesa. they both hold onto the horn. my 2 coaches, state rodeo champs, taught me to hold onto the horn. you're not bad just cause you hold the horn

  • I just think you shouldnt have to hold onto the horn. Idk. maybe its just me.

  • your supposed to hold onto the horn so you don't get jerked around and then that throws your horse off balance. Your supposed to hold onto the horn.

  • i dont think your suppose, i think if you dont have the balance or anything or just good bareback riding skills you dont need to.

  • Ok think what you want but EVERYONE who barrel races holds onto the horn. Especially when you have a devishly fast horse

  • I'm not saying everyday riding. I don't hold onto the horn either riding. I'm saying when you're going around a turn you're supposed to hold onto the horn so you don't jerk your horse off balance and make it fall

  • I've seen people who have ridden over fourty years still use the horn. It's not about being a good rider it's actually about choosing to take a risk or keep thing's safe for you and your partner (the horse).

  • i was trying not to get in this but you are a very cocky rider.

  • @AphroditeAllure you know how to ride...but do you know how to barrel race?

  • @kayrider95 I see this whole thing happened a year ago (this conversation) and it's cracking me up with this @AphroditeAllure. She clearly doesn't know anything about barrel racing... ROTFLMFAO <--- I need to do that more often so I can get rid of my lead ass, so I can start chasin' some cans again some day!!! BAHAHAHAAAA!!!

  • @gjf37681 Haha clearly, all of us barrel racers know what to do. hahah

  • @gjf37681 lol i think she rides english...

  • who cares?? its easy and yeah when your horse stumbles your not worried about the horn.

    even champion barrel racers hold on to the horn it doesent mean they cant ride correctly,

    i somtimes hold on to the horn and somtimes dont.

    dont take this comment to serously im just saying
