ive come off a horse twice, both times i was bareback. the first time i was riding a grouchy pregnant mare that has bucking problems, yea i know not so smart, the second time i was double bareback and my horse decided to turn really sharply and we were loping......
The girl is amazing, personally I think that was too much horse for her, maybe he needed someone with a bit more strength to really grind him to a halt. But regardless, she's a damn good little rider, and she had a hell of a back bone to get on a big horse with that much spirit and ride like that. And like my trainer taught me, you gotta fall off a thousand times before you can call yourself a good rider. :)
That girl is very lucky she wasn't injured maybe next time her parents will take the time to make sure her horse is finished with its training before they show it
Most People Don't wear them (Me and I know of 1000 morepeople who don't ) and we are all still alive . Barrel racing you don't have to just if the arena is State Owned :)
aww poor little girl wen i was small i rode a real hyper horse but nothing like this has ever happened to me :( hope shes ok but if i was da mom i would be freaking out
Get the poor child a horse suited to her size and ability. She already has the ability - Now work on the size. I.e. not a giant horse that she cannot pull up.
dang it she's better than me and i'm 11 =( she's just faster but i'm gonna be as good as her very very soon i promise y'all. and i have videos so you can see xD
@kompuiheartsu Babe it just takes the right horse. Her parents probably put a LOT of money into that horse so dont think your not as good. Just push yourself. and there was a horse movie i watched with a saying, the little girl asked her trainer to watch and make sure she was running the barrels perfectly and he said "No one expects you to be perfect" the little girl replyed "Ginger does" just ride for your horse girly and youll get there just keep riding and trying,
@CowgirlGoneJumper thank you so much. and i appreciate my horse. (not my horse though, my trainers but i take care of her and work for riding her) and your comment gave me hope! :) next time when i ride i'll push myself and appreciate what i get =)
Hey that was a good run just be careful next time. If that horse was acting a little sore
before the run, that was probably the problem. If you have time take that horse to a chyropractor( don't really now how to spell the word) and take some time with he/she by asking questions about your horse's behavior. I am jsut giving you a suggestion. If you want to ask me any questions, send me a message.
I think that horse is in the wrong bussiness XD seems they wanna go JUMPING hehehehe poor girly taking a dump like that but hey. ya never fall. ya dont ride enough. but hope she is okay. and parents buy that girl a safe horse!!! one you can do backflips on or lay under them and theyll stand their like nuffin. sure you want them to win but think... would u rather them win? or live to their 12 birthday WITHOUT serious head trama T_T
Ride hard baby!!! You did great , this stuff happens to all of us. You never know what the shoot is going to be like or what your horse is focussed on when coming out . Hats off to you gal!!!
cowgirls are a lil more darin then thta.. i think alot of people would just rather get their skull cracked open then wear a helmet.. i know i would. i think if your gonna ride horses then you should take your own risks
Im sorry but little kids shouldnt be on automatic barrel horses that have no woah. I dont care how old they are, they shouldnt be on horses that just run full out. The kid just hangs on for dear life and does nothing. Its not very good.
I know how annoying comments can be when its coming from a person who doesnt no the horse , but this seems to be a little to much a horse for a light weight child. I agree with michaelina2002 that helments are a wise investment.
@bbace the horse is not mindless...YOUR mindless... the horse might have saw the gate late, all this is stupid ...some rodeos REQUIRE you NOT to wear a helment...i went to one a month ago where i couldnt wear 1. If the horse doesnt stop then it shouldnt race is like saying....."if you make mistakes dont do anything".....i cant express in words how STUPID> MINDLESS< AND POORLY EDUCATED u are!!!!!!!!!!!
@BaReLrAcEr101 More along the lines of how stupid mindless and poorly educated you are. Because horses that are so high strung on barrels to the point that they will not stop even with a fence in front of them, are in NO DOUBT in line to need a new job title. That is rediculous and people like YOU are the reason why people like ME can be riding to the gate to enter the arena and get broad sided because some dumbasses horse wouldnt stop when asked. Thats basic training.
i love when people try and comment about a horse and rider that they don't even know and think they know everything about them in that short little video.. it really amuses me(:
@thexashes yup :P when most of the time they don't even know what they are talking about and have no videos of them riding? haha i wonder why that is xP
@HeadDog101 And I'm 15, first time I was on a horse was when I was about six weeks old, and I've had more falls than I can count. It's not because I'm a bad rider, I stick on broncy horses all the time, but it happens. Sooner or later you'll come off, no matter how good of a rider you are. Falling off is a humbling experience. I tell my students to fall off on purpose, at a walk or when a horse is stopped, so they aren't afraid of it. If you've been riding that long I'm pretty sure you've fallen
@hanoverianjumpers101 The way I was raised I was always told you aren't a real cowgirl until you learn to hit the dirt and bounce right back up and keep riding. Glad you teach them such things, it will help them to become better riders.
@AshleighRSexton Thanks (: I still fall off all the time xD The last time was when my new mare jumped a tiny log and landed really awkwardly and me, being in a western saddle, was a retard and hit the ground haha. I hadn't fallen off jumping since 2009 xDD
@HeadDog101 I am 15 and I have been riding for hmmm........about all my life. I have fallen so many times it's amazing. You have probably fallen before, but you just refuse to admit it so you sound like a better rider than you actually are. Good riders fall all the time "if you haven't fallen off a horse you don't ride enough."-Red Omalley from "the Saddle Club"
Bad ass!! Ya gotta love a good spill like that :) It's happened to me too, The alley was just way to short & my mare couldnt stop in time :( We won though!!! Oh & by the way...fighting with someone you dont know over the internet....very amusing also!
EVEN WITH A HELMET SHE COULD HAVE HURT HER HEAD!! AND HER NECK!! ASK CHRISTOPHER REVES!!!! HELMETS DONT ALWAYS SAVE LIVES... WHAT EVER GET OVER IT ITS ALREADY DONE AND OVER WITH
Ok so, I say this much. I watched closely. She was pulling on the reins, and kicking at the same time, because she wasn't controlling her legs. Mixed signals really confuse a horse. Also, that looked like an OTTB (Off-Track Thoroughbred) which are known to be high-strung. You do not put 11 yr olds on TB's. Also, she was wearing knee-pads, meaning her knees hit the barrels because she can't control the horse. No girl that small can control a horse of that magnitude when it is high strung.
Im always scared that when i have my horse thundering home after a barrel run that she is gonna keep going or not be able to stop soon enough. So i always pull her back, but when i do i pull her up to soon. lol
I have never written a negative comment like this but this young rider's parents and trainer (if she has one) should be ashamed and terrified. If the kid is still walking it's a miracle. And if the horse is for sale as a show jumper he might find a better situation. Seems like a nice horse, and a kid with heart, but they are not a match.
also, a helmet would have been a nice addition. anyone under 18 should be required to wear one, whether it looks cool or not. being alive is more important than looking like a "cowgirl".
and to those of you saying that this is normal behavior for a barrel horse, it is most certainly NOT. it is normal behavior for a horse who has not been trained properly, not been conditioned properly, or has had it's mind ruined. 100% of the time.
are you people aware that this is an 11 year old CHILD? there is a parent somewhere who put this CHILD on this horse, knowing it has alley/whoa issues. this issue did not just happen overnight. someone was aware of this horses problems and put the CHILD on it anyways. they should have their kids taken away from them as far as i am concerned, if someone put a child in a car and let it roll down a hill, what would be the consequence? essentially this is exactly what happened here.
@bbace87 Ok so obviously you have NEVER barrel raced. Barrel horses are generally high strung ready to run horses. On this particular day this horse had and issue of stopping, my horse does some day's to. Yes I will agree that that horse is too much for that girl, but what does that matter? She probally loves that horse to death like I do mine. I don't wear a helmet when barrel racing and I don't understand why people think that that is the only answer....
@116jewel are you kidding me? i have been barrel racing my entire life, i ran semi professionally for 2 years. i am also a certified horse trainer. it is people like you who give barrel racers a bad name. it is NOT okay for a horse to "sometimes have issues stopping". i have ridden dozens of barrel horses, young ones, old ones, ones of the track. if they don't stop for me at home, THEY DO NOT GET TO GO TO A BARREL RACE. simple horsemanship. which obviously you and many others don't understand.
thank you thank you. Anyone remember Martha Josey saying, the best barrel horses will run a smokin pattern, go out, turn around, and walk that pattern.
I see high strung barrel horses all the time, ridden by kids. It scares me to death. I'm with bbace, if the horse has whoa issues at any time, it shouldn't be out in public with a kid on it. And helmets. Wear em. Or take a lifeflight like I did and be out six months... that's real fun.
@michaelina2002 I'm 12. I ride an ex-reiner newly trained barrel horse who doesn't know what "whoa" is. This is why I hate ally-ways. If he won't stop, I turn him in a tight circle and MAKE him stop. But in an alley-way. There's a gate, No I don' wear a helmet, yes i've fallen. And i'm still alive.
@116jewel OBVIOUSLY i wasn't saying helmets solve all riding accidents...that doesn't even make sense. but they do and have saved lives. why would you not want your child protected??? if you disagree with that you need to give your head a shake.
@bbace87 That's not fair to the horse if the don't get to do what they love just because they don't want to stop sometimes... like I said barrel horse are VERY hot horses, and sometimes don't resepct their rider like this horse did to this little girl. I agree that since she is on such a big, high powered horse that yes maybe she sould be wearing a helmet but a helmet is not the solution for everything. I barrel race and teach lessons and clinics on it and horsemandship. And if they have to.....
@116jewel high powered of a horse I will make sure they understand how to control a horse like that. And if they can't control it I will make sure they have a helmet on and I'll talk to their parents about because saftey is #1 but a competitions like this that girl shouldn't have even been competeing if she can't stop her own horse. I don't agree with helmets for every rider, riders that have been riding their whole life don't need one but young ones and beginners certainly do.
@116jewel you are missing my point about helmets all together. obviously helmets are not some magical solution that prevent accidets. but when an accident happens, it CAN prevent injuries. that is what i am saying.
and if yu are teaching lessons and giving clinics on horsemanship, that is a bit scary.
@bbace87 No I'm not, ya helmets are a good thing for young children to have but that doesn't mean that everyone HAS to have one. I don't, I never have used one.
How is that scary? Iv'e learned by a horsemanship and barrel racing champion of our province who's won many belt buckles and trophies, and also been Miss Rodeo numerous times. Iv'e won something everywhere I go so I guess my mothers a good teacher and a all around cowgirl as she has been her whole life just like me.......
@116jewel So whats scary is that you would even think of saying I don't know anything when I clearly do. Obviously you need to step back because I know what I'm doing and saying.
@116jewel Whatever helps you sleep at night. Anyone who actually knows how to train/ride a horse of any discipline, barrel racing or otherwise, can see you have no idea what you're talking about. That's all that matters.
@bbace87 O so that's how it is now huh? CLEARLY I DO KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE I AM A NATURAL HORSE PERSON UNLIKE YOU! So there you have it you stubborn bag. I obviously do know what I'm talking about because there is nothing that I have wrote that is incorrect in any way. So in other words SHOVE IT!
@bbace87 By the way... I sleep great at night because I know that I'm great at what I do, not to metion how much I LOVE it. Unlike you who clearly knows nothing.
The last thing I'm going to say on this topic is again, anyone who knows anything about riding or training can see you have no clue. none. anyone who thinks this kind of behavior in ANY horse, barrel or otherwise, is acceptable has no business laying a hand on anyone elses horse... or giving advice to anyone for that matter. enjoy riding helmetless on your nut job horses :)
@bbace87 WHY DON'T YOU GO FUCK YORSELF YOU FUCKING BITCH!?!? I HOPE YOU REALIZE THAT THAT HORSE IN YOUR VIDEO DOESN'T DESERVE TO BE YOURS! I HOPE YOU REALIZE THAT MY HORSES ARE BETTER THAN YOURS WILL EVER BE! SO FUCK YOU! My horse is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY better than ANY of yours! Why is my horse a nut job? HUH BITCH! Why is she nice? BECAUSE SHE'S AWESOME UNLIKE YOURS! SO FUCK YOURSELF YOU STUPID BITCH!
@bbace87 I'll keep doing what I do because I AM good at it UNLIKE YOU! WHY I am a joke? Because that's what I thought of you, ya fat bitch! I will ride helmetless because I am a cowgirl and I can ride. I ride with a cowboy hat the same thing Iv'e wearing since I was born. Unlike you who's just a wannabe. I don't think that behaviour is acceptable but I don't think that they should not be allowed to barrel race. When I first got my horse she was hard to stop but I worked with her and in 2 days--
you know what that girl has more heart then most of you guys do, going out there pushing that horse so hard round them barrels, she's a true cowgirl, i hope she becomes a champion barrel racer don't give up girl you got what it takes!
My personal opinion. Barrel racers should walk their horse through the barrel patterns sometimes. Not in competitions of course, just at home. If all they know is to run like crazy that's all they'll do. One girl was told she wasn't allowed to bring her horse to shows because it was too "Spun". It would rear and bolt. Win everytime though! But was too much of a danger.
@xXTonkaTruckerXx Thats normaly how they start them :) And I went to a show and my friend had a mule like that horse and both my friends were on double for an event and it ran into the fence like in the video
Such a brave little girl. Wish I could barrel race, but I don't have a horse or anything. I may live in the city but I'm definately a country western girl at heart.
almost seemed like the gate person shoulda opened the gate instead of stand there and flap his/her hand around... Usually if a horse is allowed to run into the arena they're allowed to run out is what I've always seen, I've never seen it where you can run in but not out. Hope she and the horse are alright.
ppl shouldnt put little girls on horses they cant control when that girl pulls on him his ass should of had his head down walkin out the gate like a pleasure horse! good run just no sense that girl could have been killed i know someone who died from that!
the person in this video obviously has some good barrel racing skills but she needs to kearn how to control her horse, ya i agree that its hard coming home on a fast run believe me id no i have been barrel racing scince i was 8 years old lol. the horse probaly just got excited lolz=]
Would've been an awesome run!! But the end. lol That would kill. My barrel horse has no woah in the show ring. But she's got woah when she gets to the gate. lol
She's amazing for a 11yr old, I mean I don't know much about barrel racing I didn't even know kids did it, but despite the fall she was in good control.
Everyone has to take a spill sometime. That horse could've been incredibly hard in the mouth for all we know, or not responsive to seat ques. I have a gelding who's a reiner who will plant his butt with only the slightest ques but on the other hand I have a greenbroke old mare wit hno training that it's all you can do to get her to stop from a walk. That's why I one-rein it while I'm still in the arena...that is, if the timers aren't in the alley.
Very good little rider. They really dont give enough space to stop, expescially for such a long legged horse. She rides very nicely. Also I am a very loyal treeless saddle fan.
actually they dont have anything to work on. the horse and the little girl just didnt have it that day. barrel racers have their really badd moments. and i think that was one of them. so really people?? just watch and enjoy;))
i saw this a lot.....people would throw these little riders on big powerfull horses and they get hurt......shes a good little rider she just doesnt have the strength to safetly stop and that seems like where the horses always get them
well some do if they dont train them to stop with pressure........i train my horses to stop when i sit back and say waho.......they go down to their butts instently
you can tell she's a very good little rider, and the horse just seemed to be distracted and strong that day to me. I don't think the blame lies on either one of them for this one. I always like to see kids in helmets since accidents like this just happen sometimes. Young kids don't REALLY truly understand what brain injury could mean for their lives & therefore calculate taking the risk, but it's ultimately up to the parents. Great little rider though!
when i was younger i barrel raced and this girl had a horse that was high powered and she couldnt handle him so it threw her off on the 2nd barrel and almost ran through the fence.
IF u have someone ride ur horse first 2 calm them down ur not learning anythin there is always a lesson in things like these plus most ppl ONLY warm their horse up b4 a run or the horse gets tired. real cowgirls dont need help thats y we are so strong we dont take no for n answer n if anythin happens u get right back on!! this girl has a lot of heart any cowgirl has that!! sometimes shit like this just happens ok? its not anybodies fault! really the only suggestion u can giv is another bit!
@7barrel7racing7babe7 Another bit? Jesus. Yeah. How about proper training? Maybe control of that horses hip. A harsher bit will only work temporarily until the now hard-mouthed horse learns to ignore that too. Education and safety should not take a backburner to pride!
i do barrel raceing and this girl should have some 1 else ride him to get him to chill soo he dosent think abt speed all the time he needed to slow down
Well being a barrel racer myself, She did very well! Alot of the time if you have a horse that was trained specifically for barrels, you need to have someone else ride your horse in between competitions to calm them down.. Other wise, they will be prancy and dis-obediant when riding leisurely, and of course they get wild because it's all Run stop and run again.. No calmly riding time and all they are used to is running!... Get it?
Barrel horse are trained and bred to be able to run it out and fast.. If people who are commenting on this knew anything about horses or the sport they would know the horse was running through the bit.. It happens unfortunatly to a young girl! Horses can get excited and just keeping running.. It happened to me before
I hope the horse was ok too. Going that speed she should have started asking the horse to stop a bit sooner, but I think they should make the end of the runs longer just incase the horse is going to fast to stop that quick.
The horse was hurt!

@HeadDog101 And I'm 15, first time I was on a horse was when I was about six weeks old, and I've had more falls than I can count. It's not because I'm a bad rider, I stick on broncy horses all the time, but it happens. Sooner or later you'll come off, no matter how good of a rider you are. Falling off is a humbling experience. I tell my students to fall off on purpose, at a walk or when a horse is stopped, so they aren't afraid of it. If you've been riding that long I'm pretty sure you've fallen

@hanoverianjumpers101 The way I was raised I was always told you aren't a real cowgirl until you learn to hit the dirt and bounce right back up and keep riding. Glad you teach them such things, it will help them to become better riders.

@AshleighRSexton Thanks (: I still fall off all the time xD The last time was when my new mare jumped a tiny log and landed really awkwardly and me, being in a western saddle, was a retard and hit the ground haha. I hadn't fallen off jumping since 2009 xDD
hanoverianjumpers101 1 year ago
@HeadDog101 I am 15 and I have been riding for hmmm........about all my life. I have fallen so many times it's amazing. You have probably fallen before, but you just refuse to admit it so you sound like a better rider than you actually are. Good riders fall all the time "if you haven't fallen off a horse you don't ride enough."-Red Omalley from "the Saddle Club"

Ok so, I say this much. I watched closely. She was pulling on the reins, and kicking at the same time, because she wasn't controlling her legs. Mixed signals really confuse a horse. Also, that looked like an OTTB (Off-Track Thoroughbred) which are known to be high-strung. You do not put 11 yr olds on TB's. Also, she was wearing knee-pads, meaning her knees hit the barrels because she can't control the horse. No girl that small can control a horse of that magnitude when it is high strung.

Im always scared that when i have my horse thundering home after a barrel run that she is gonna keep going or not be able to stop soon enough. So i always pull her back, but when i do i pull her up to soon. lol

I have never written a negative comment like this but this young rider's parents and trainer (if she has one) should be ashamed and terrified. If the kid is still walking it's a miracle. And if the horse is for sale as a show jumper he might find a better situation. Seems like a nice horse, and a kid with heart, but they are not a match.
Lucky80026 1 year ago 3
also, a helmet would have been a nice addition. anyone under 18 should be required to wear one, whether it looks cool or not. being alive is more important than looking like a "cowgirl".
and to those of you saying that this is normal behavior for a barrel horse, it is most certainly NOT. it is normal behavior for a horse who has not been trained properly, not been conditioned properly, or has had it's mind ruined. 100% of the time.
bbace87 1 year ago 4
are you people aware that this is an 11 year old CHILD? there is a parent somewhere who put this CHILD on this horse, knowing it has alley/whoa issues. this issue did not just happen overnight. someone was aware of this horses problems and put the CHILD on it anyways. they should have their kids taken away from them as far as i am concerned, if someone put a child in a car and let it roll down a hill, what would be the consequence? essentially this is exactly what happened here.
bbace87 1 year ago 4
@bbace87 Ok so obviously you have NEVER barrel raced. Barrel horses are generally high strung ready to run horses. On this particular day this horse had and issue of stopping, my horse does some day's to. Yes I will agree that that horse is too much for that girl, but what does that matter? She probally loves that horse to death like I do mine. I don't wear a helmet when barrel racing and I don't understand why people think that that is the only answer....

116jewel 1 year ago
@116jewel are you kidding me? i have been barrel racing my entire life, i ran semi professionally for 2 years. i am also a certified horse trainer. it is people like you who give barrel racers a bad name. it is NOT okay for a horse to "sometimes have issues stopping". i have ridden dozens of barrel horses, young ones, old ones, ones of the track. if they don't stop for me at home, THEY DO NOT GET TO GO TO A BARREL RACE. simple horsemanship. which obviously you and many others don't understand.

thank you thank you. Anyone remember Martha Josey saying, the best barrel horses will run a smokin pattern, go out, turn around, and walk that pattern.
I see high strung barrel horses all the time, ridden by kids. It scares me to death. I'm with bbace, if the horse has whoa issues at any time, it shouldn't be out in public with a kid on it. And helmets. Wear em. Or take a lifeflight like I did and be out six months... that's real fun.
bbace, you're right on the money.
michaelina2002 1 year ago 27
@michaelina2002 I'm 12. I ride an ex-reiner newly trained barrel horse who doesn't know what "whoa" is. This is why I hate ally-ways. If he won't stop, I turn him in a tight circle and MAKE him stop. But in an alley-way. There's a gate, No I don' wear a helmet, yes i've fallen. And i'm still alive.

@116jewel OBVIOUSLY i wasn't saying helmets solve all riding accidents...that doesn't even make sense. but they do and have saved lives. why would you not want your child protected??? if you disagree with that you need to give your head a shake.
bbace87 1 year ago 2
@bbace87 That's not fair to the horse if the don't get to do what they love just because they don't want to stop sometimes... like I said barrel horse are VERY hot horses, and sometimes don't resepct their rider like this horse did to this little girl. I agree that since she is on such a big, high powered horse that yes maybe she sould be wearing a helmet but a helmet is not the solution for everything. I barrel race and teach lessons and clinics on it and horsemandship. And if they have to.....
116jewel 1 year ago
@116jewel high powered of a horse I will make sure they understand how to control a horse like that. And if they can't control it I will make sure they have a helmet on and I'll talk to their parents about because saftey is #1 but a competitions like this that girl shouldn't have even been competeing if she can't stop her own horse. I don't agree with helmets for every rider, riders that have been riding their whole life don't need one but young ones and beginners certainly do.
116jewel 1 year ago 2
@116jewel you are missing my point about helmets all together. obviously helmets are not some magical solution that prevent accidets. but when an accident happens, it CAN prevent injuries. that is what i am saying.
and if yu are teaching lessons and giving clinics on horsemanship, that is a bit scary.
bbace87 1 year ago 2
@bbace87 No I'm not, ya helmets are a good thing for young children to have but that doesn't mean that everyone HAS to have one. I don't, I never have used one.
How is that scary? Iv'e learned by a horsemanship and barrel racing champion of our province who's won many belt buckles and trophies, and also been Miss Rodeo numerous times. Iv'e won something everywhere I go so I guess my mothers a good teacher and a all around cowgirl as she has been her whole life just like me.......

The last thing I'm going to say on this topic is again, anyone who knows anything about riding or training can see you have no clue. none. anyone who thinks this kind of behavior in ANY horse, barrel or otherwise, is acceptable has no business laying a hand on anyone elses horse... or giving advice to anyone for that matter. enjoy riding helmetless on your nut job horses :)

@bbace87 I'll keep doing what I do because I AM good at it UNLIKE YOU! WHY I am a joke? Because that's what I thought of you, ya fat bitch! I will ride helmetless because I am a cowgirl and I can ride. I ride with a cowboy hat the same thing Iv'e wearing since I was born. Unlike you who's just a wannabe. I don't think that behaviour is acceptable but I don't think that they should not be allowed to barrel race. When I first got my horse she was hard to stop but I worked with her and in 2 days--

infamous2787 1 year ago
My personal opinion. Barrel racers should walk their horse through the barrel patterns sometimes. Not in competitions of course, just at home. If all they know is to run like crazy that's all they'll do. One girl was told she wasn't allowed to bring her horse to shows because it was too "Spun". It would rear and bolt. Win everytime though! But was too much of a danger.

almost seemed like the gate person shoulda opened the gate instead of stand there and flap his/her hand around... Usually if a horse is allowed to run into the arena they're allowed to run out is what I've always seen, I've never seen it where you can run in but not out. Hope she and the horse are alright.

Good job on the run, kiddo.
Everyone has to take a spill sometime. That horse could've been incredibly hard in the mouth for all we know, or not responsive to seat ques. I have a gelding who's a reiner who will plant his butt with only the slightest ques but on the other hand I have a greenbroke old mare wit hno training that it's all you can do to get her to stop from a walk. That's why I one-rein it while I'm still in the arena...that is, if the timers aren't in the alley.

you can tell she's a very good little rider, and the horse just seemed to be distracted and strong that day to me. I don't think the blame lies on either one of them for this one. I always like to see kids in helmets since accidents like this just happen sometimes. Young kids don't REALLY truly understand what brain injury could mean for their lives & therefore calculate taking the risk, but it's ultimately up to the parents. Great little rider though!

IF u have someone ride ur horse first 2 calm them down ur not learning anythin there is always a lesson in things like these plus most ppl ONLY warm their horse up b4 a run or the horse gets tired. real cowgirls dont need help thats y we are so strong we dont take no for n answer n if anythin happens u get right back on!! this girl has a lot of heart any cowgirl has that!! sometimes shit like this just happens ok? its not anybodies fault! really the only suggestion u can giv is another bit!
7barrel7racing7babe7 2 years ago 10
@7barrel7racing7babe7 Another bit? Jesus. Yeah. How about proper training? Maybe control of that horses hip. A harsher bit will only work temporarily until the now hard-mouthed horse learns to ignore that too. Education and safety should not take a backburner to pride!

mackmoney22 2 years ago
Well being a barrel racer myself, She did very well! Alot of the time if you have a horse that was trained specifically for barrels, you need to have someone else ride your horse in between competitions to calm them down.. Other wise, they will be prancy and dis-obediant when riding leisurely, and of course they get wild because it's all Run stop and run again.. No calmly riding time and all they are used to is running!... Get it?
89BritBrat 2 years ago 2
Barrel horse are trained and bred to be able to run it out and fast.. If people who are commenting on this knew anything about horses or the sport they would know the horse was running through the bit.. It happens unfortunatly to a young girl! Horses can get excited and just keeping running.. It happened to me before
xXxiowaroxXx 2 years ago 2
I hope the horse was ok too. Going that speed she should have started asking the horse to stop a bit sooner, but I think they should make the end of the runs longer just incase the horse is going to fast to stop that quick.
