  • this...is awesome. I would have broken a finger or a flag...or something going that fast, you didn't even check your horse up passing them...hahaha, you have mad skills.

  • @SpiritHorsePro That is why I always enjoyed watching my daughter race. She never slowed down to pick up the flag or when dropping it off. I don't think I every saw her miss either. Once she had the flag bounce back out and land sideways on top of the bucket (never fell off the bucketl) and they disqualified her because it wasn't in the barrel flag up.

  • @PaintedHorseLover That's funny. Bummer about the DQ

  • lol this was a hardcore run hahaha

  • am i the only person that realized that there is no 10th second on the timer? AMAZING RUN BY THE WAY!!! I COULDN'T HAVE STAYED ON THAT HORSE TO SAVE MY LIFE!!! I prob could have, but then again i prob couldn't!

  • HA ..im not wearing any socks

  • @RAPPIEMYBABY LOL Perfect then. No worries about losing them them.

  • LIKE A BOSS

  • where are you from? just wondering cause your flag course is totally different from mine....you guys run it in like a U shape...ours in a straight line...you pick it up from the first barrel run to the end barrel and turn it then run back and put the stick in the same barrel......that was good though!

  • @horseracer676 From Michigan, USA. Thanks.

  • I was at the montcalm county fair the year this video was taken , but i did not watch the flag racing

  • Heels down, toes up.......

  • @ValtronW Your credential?

  • @PaintedHorseLover

    What does credentials have to with it? Its one of the first things you learn when you begin riding....that being said, that was amazing!

  • @longtimestuklat Well I would like to see you bring out your english horses and ride a barrel course with you heels down and toes up when your concentration on leaning over to get a flag and drop it off again and see how your form stays with heels down and toes up style of riding when your running full out. Just saying...

  • @PaintedHorseLover I didn't say it wasn't impressive..you did great! you seemed kinda offended just because someone mentioned keeping your heels down, asking them what their credentials were? I'm just saying it doesn't matter what your credentials are, your supposed to keep your heels down, no matter what discipline. You did awesome though...its really hard remembering to keep your heels down, especially when your going that fast and trying to do something else lol

  • @PaintedHorseLover Okay, I'm not trying to start any fight but I just wanted to point out that you act like "english horses" can't do barrels...you might want to check your facts about that - my main reason for saying this is because I have what you would describe as an "english horse" im assuming because he's my jumper/eventer...but we also do gaming and polocrosse and flat/jump racing. I know for a fact its not easy to always have your heels down when gaming.

  • @PaintedHorseLover But "english horses" can do it - check out my vidoes - we just got finished competing in the PA Flag Racing Finals a week ago. We've gotten 17 second barrel runs...just because he's an "english horse" doesn't mean he can't do barrels or flag racing or anything gaming horses do..he just sucks at poles! lol

  • @ponyjockey206 That is what I was trying to say to the post from longtimestuklat. Not that an english horse can't run barrels. I was trying to make a point that when running barrels it isn't easy to have heels down toes up and most barrel riders do not run this way like an english horse/rider doing jumps and flat work.

  • @ponyjockey206 ValtronW made a comment to my video that my daughter needed to have her heels down toes up. And I asked her/him what their credentials were to make a comment like that on my daughters way of riding.

  • @PaintedHorseLover nope I totally agree with you - its not easy at all - I game in all my english tack simply because it is easier for me for keep my heels down because its what im most comfortable in and used to :) but i def agree that its not easy. your daughter looks awesome :) i just read your comment wrong and thought that you were trying to say "english horses" couldn't do it thats all :)

  • Comment removed

  • @ValtronW Still trying to figure out what your credentials are where you can comment on form of rider?

  • Awesome! My saddlebred and I got 7th place out of 25+ people at our very first show in the flag race.

  • O-O. Holy shit.

  • Damn!!! Good job :)

  • HEY! This is in Montcalm! Haha! The Old fair grounds! I'm showing in montcalm 4H this year!

  • Hey! You owe me five dollars for some new socks!

  • Damn socks....

    Ever tried going that fast on a sharp pony and putting a flag into a small cone whilst trying not to knock it over? If not, take a look at mounted games - especially Prince Philip Cup (senior teams are fast - junior teams are fast between cones and change overs. I was on a junior team for a year and our seniors were bloody quick - my pony was actually scared of flags to begin with... Small challenge to get him used to them!)

  • Amazing run! That horse obviously enjoys it's job! :D

  • Damn were have my socks gone now! >: /

  • I've gotten an 8 seconds on this. This isn't very fast compared to the horses at my fair.

  • @TheHannJen What makes you think this wasn't 8 seconds? The video is 11 seconds long. you have starting part of this video that she hasn't even passed the timer yet.

  • @PaintedHorseLover

    I don't need your reply, thank you

  • @TheHannJen Well from my point of view..you're a troll. If you're going to brag about your horses then go post your own videos and comment on them. Nobody asked about your horses.

  • @TheHannJen If i'm correct the cones are about the timer, that is close to 3 seconds in therefore making this an 8 second run. Good day.

  • OMG MY SOCKS.

  • i didnt have socks on and my feet r cold went to go look for them...... wait my socks i cant find them??

  • @annmasonbreyer14 Thanks for the laugh. Glad you enjoyed it. Hope you find your socks soon. Winter is coming. I don't want you to have cold feet.

  • @PaintedHorseLover i found them they wer in the hall ...... but i left them on the couch hmmm.... i didnt think it was possible

  • Incredible run!

  • wow so bloomin fast how to the horse manage to stay standing lol. :D awesome i would love to do this.

  • Wow...that knocked my socks off!

  • Where did my socks go?!?

  • This is a great example of GOOD RIDING! She is with the motion of the horse and is not behind it by sitting too deep in the saddle and letting the horse fling her backwards as she races. That has obviously increased her ability and the speed of her horse! VERY nice riding!

  • man that was awesome. My horse and i still have to slow down a littler bit when doing that. you looked like a magician.

  • Thats a well trained horse and amazone!!! Very quick and accurate! Nice done!

  • damn it my socks fell off!!!! >:(

  • @Tecolote41 LOL That seems to be happening a lot on here. Glad you liked it.

  • @PaintedHorseLover no prob ;)

  • @PaintedHorseLover THAT is amazing! Great to see young riders gettin' at it it made my heart pound when I saw her fly around that first barrel though, she's got some speed on her horse though <3

  • Omgg that was...... I'm speechless !!!!!!

  • HOLY CRAP THIS WOMAN IS MY HERO.

  • Ahaha. Wow. I only trot up to the first barrel and then I canter but I can never get it in the other bucket. I have some video from my flag race in some of my videos but the clips are from last year. I have only gotten the flag in once in the like... 4 years I've done it.

    It might be easier with a western horse instead of an english horse who only direct reins and not neckreins. I have to control him and hold the flag at the same time.

  • @PaintedHorseLover no I meant the beginning of the huge OHHHHHH at the end when she gets the flag in. haha it really does look like QH though. guess i should have put more h's on it. my bad :)

  • @Chut619 LOL now I get it. I think Jennifer was the first one to get the barrel with the flag and everyone was like wow and it was exciting thats for sure. Thanks for the comment.

  • lol i cant do flag races with my horse he freaks out cause of the flag lol but thats really good ive only seen a couple ppl good that fast and do that good lol

  • i love the huge OH at the end

  • @Chut619 I am not sure what you mean? Huge QH at the end? There is only one horse in this video and Max is over 16 hands so wasn't sure you where talking about him (the one that is racing) or is there another horse somewhere that pops up that I don't see.

  • Good job [=

  • hahahaha i still have my socks, beacause ..well i never was wearing socks, im wearing flip flops, okay, i guess a pair of socks fell out of my sock cabinet

  • @SHIMMERYROSE HaHa thanks for the smile. It is flip flop weather right now. Maybe I should change the title for the summer time. :-) A Flag racer that will knock off your flip-flops HeHe!

  • @PaintedHorseLover hahahaha yah, that would be great :D socks are okay though too...lol

  • I wish our gymkhana did flags like this. We have to run, pick up the flag in the first barrel, take the flag in the second barrel and put it in the first barrel again! It's really hard lol

  • God this is so good i wish i could be as good as her- What...where are my socks??

  • wow, just wow! we call that event diamond flag in australia, and i dont think ive seen anyone go faster than you!

  • dude, where'd my socks go?

  • SHES VERYY GOODDDD

  • This was a great run; makes me wanna hop on my friends ex race horse turned western horse and put his old speed to good use! Maybe with a few year of practice we might be able to keep up with you!

  • That was great ive done everything from breakaway, goat tying, barrel racing, poles, n team roping but ive never tried flags.... now i must try this :D

  • This was amazing! I hope with practice I'll be able to do this good with flags!

  • damn thats really good! dont listin to all thos rude comments lol you have done 5 times better than i could ever do lol. my horse would just circle every barrel instead ha ha,but very very very good job! you owe me a pair of socks:D

  • Jeez louise, you did amazing! Great job.

  • um i kinda need a new pair of socks please lol

  • This is VERY differnt to how i do it in my saddle clubs..What we do is when we go in there is a flag in our hand, we run down to the barrel with a bucket and another flag in the bucket, you run, switch flags, run back..VERY fun but Jen was also VERY fast and did a good job!!

    Wait a second, where are my socks?

  • This is VERY differnt to how i do it in my saddle clubs..What we do is when we go in there is a flag in our hand, we run down to the barrel with a bucket and another flag in the bucket, you run, switch flags, run back..VERY fun but Jen was also VERY fast and did a good job!!

  • DAANNG that was fast! very nice!

  • Lol, amazing! Me and my anglo are more into barrels, he's scared of flags =[

    Hey.. wait a minute... where'd my socks go?

  • This is awesome!!:D

  • if you can't do this: don't critique

  • WOW! That is insanely crazy! I have never seen someone be SO accurate and do that so fast!

  • Whoa that looks really fun . I barrel race and i LOVE it but this looks awesome .

  • Ohh we have another way of doing it we have to run to the barel in the middle get the flag then run around a barrel infront of the other barrel then turn the barel and put the flag back where we got it :p

  • My socks!! D: lol, That was great!! keep up the great work!

  • wow very good job..awesome:)

  • did you get it

    

  • Wow! She is absolutely amazing! Her timing is perfect. She doesn't even attempt to slow that horse down. he is booking it & her mind is racing. you can tell. she grabs that flag & gently placed that flag in the cup like it was nothing (: LOVED it! great rider!

  • Whoa! VERY nice run! Good job. I ride English, but I can tell that that horse and that girl are tight.

  • You knocked my socks off.... And I wasn't even wearing any! Really nice run!

  • Wow, all of you who are arguing are pathetic. Do you really need to put other people down over the internet to boast about yourselves? That's pretty low. She did great, and honestly none of anyone's rude comments should be taken seriously on here because you are all cowering behind a computer.

    See that's the difference between the good and poor sports; they don't need to put others down to feel better about themselves, they encourage others and enjoy seeing other people have a good ride.

  • @RidinRopinCowgirl thanks for the comment. So true on what you just said.

  • @RidinRopinCowgirl Great point. I dis-like people like that.

  • @RidinRopinCowgirl This is exactly what everyone needs to hear :D If only I could have thought of that... and great run!! :)

  • wow now THATS a flag race! !!!

  • nice run. ive only ever run flag once like this with a horse i sold but ive done it once iwth my qh where you just run down and go around one barrel and put it in the bucket. that vids on here

  • People will take any chance they get to run off at the mouth about how great they think they are. No one can just shut up and enjoy watching someone else doing well, they always have to be faster and better. So petty and annoying.

    She did really good.

  • @XceptingDeniall Thanks for the comment. So true on what you say. Seems like it is usually the young kids that seem to make those comments.

  • @PaintedHorseLover Yeah! Its always the younger ones that think they are amazing at everything when they have only just begun!

  • umm excuse me but can i please have my socks back? they kinda.. got knocked off.

  • @Barrelracinggal98 Your too funny. Thanks for the comment.

  • O_O That was insane.

    Awesome job!

  • wow, that was amazing!!!

  • My socks are still on. And my horse could do WAAAAY better then that! MY DEAD DOG CAN DO BETTER!

  • @Rachel8976 Put your video where your mouth is and show me that your better. Until you do don't be posting to other peoples videos that you are better.

  • @Rachel8976 Haha what a loser you are... I sure couldn't do better, I know that much. You're just jealous cause no one comments on your vid's :)

  • @Rachel8976 Haha, you are pahetic :') where are your vids of you doing any better? FAIL!

    Girl riding, you owe me a new pair of socks -.- XD :) x

  • wow good horse+rider, but its nuthing compared to this horse named reno at my racing stables i think hes done it in 8 secs be 4 and idk how the dude could even get/drop the flag :)

  • @MsCheygirl55 He's good... but i'm better NOT TRYING TO BRAG!

  • @Rachel8976 Well lets see the video that your better. Until you do don't be posting to other peoples videos that you are better. Put your video where your mouth is... You also must be having problems with your eye sight as this isn't a he but a she!

  • @MsCheygirl55 Thanks I think??? Like to see a video of your friend racing.

  • Holy Saint Francis! lol, that was crazy!

  • Rachel says: my socks r still on and santana can race much better!!! :)

    Santana says: that's slow Rachel can do MUCH better

  • @TheHitGurlz Put the video where the mouth is as I want to see MUCH BETTER!!!

  • @PaintedHorseLover Shut up Fool I can do much better and your STUPID

  • @TheHitGurlz Like I siad put the video where the mouth is? Until you show me better your going to look like the stupid one.

  • Fast horse! Awesome! I didnt see a whip? YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA

  • @HorseRidingQueen Thanks Jenn never needed a whip for Mac and also didn't believe in it. If a horse has the heart to run you don't need to whip them to make them go faster. She and Mac was an awesome team.

  • @PaintedHorseLover That Is exactly how i feel! Thats awesome that she doesnt use a whip some of these videos are terrible the people whip the horses when they are going as fast as their hearts can go and the horse obviously cant g any faster to there is no use for that stupid whip.

  • @HorseRidingQueen As you can also tell she never had to jerk or pull hard on Mac's head with the reins either. She rides with her seat and legs. I loved watching her ride.

  • These people are idiots putting her down. Obviously some people like to comment about things they have no idea about. How would anyone top that less than just a naturally faster horse. Sigh.. You're daughter's amazing!

  • @jesss227 Thanks Jess. Mac was so tall and had such a long stride you couldn't tell how fast he was going until they said the time. Everyone was amazed on how fast he went as he didn’t look it at all. Not like the shorter horses that look fast because their legs seem to moving so much faster unlike Mac in his long stride.

  • No offense but I have seen WAY BETTER I will admit though not from me. Lol I suck at flags but Chris at Fair grove saddle club has done it in 9.145 secs

  • @GreenDayFreak963 Well I am not sure why you think this isn't any good with a 8 second run. Not saying there isn't better then her, but I don't think my daughter every lost a flag race.

  • @ApachenMe Sorry to hear that you don't have your horse anymore.

  • @ApachenMe Glad they are still on. Wouldn't want your feet to freeze in this weather we are having. Also must be you have never done a flag race before or if you have you must be really really good so this is lame compare to what you can do?

  • I did that once but i got 9 seconds..idk how though...

  • Wow - GO GIRL!!! :) xx

  • DAMN!

  • My socks have been knocked off, and... whoa. Your daughter is one amazing person.

  • My horse tend to do a complete circle around the barrel, thinking that it's barrel racing. We're overcoming that urge but it's still quite funny.

  •  where'd my socks go?

  • amazing! she's great! woooo!

  • one of my favorite events! a personally best for me too :)

  • dude!

  • whoa, my socks fell off

  • love the phrase knock your socks off!!!!

  • @shoppinfreakshow , Not sure why I came up with that but at the time it seemed right. LOL

  • @PaintedHorseLover

    Love it. lol

    Last year I had lots of runs like that! I practiced like, every day for months!

    Nice job!

  • hey not bad! always good to see some good flag racing. as soon as i finalize my dvd ill upload a video of me running flags i was at the milan tn world flag race last weekend (the show tbone was telling u about) and won flags fri night and the second run saturday

  • @arkansascowboy1 Have you gotten your video posted yet?

  • @PaintedHorseLover not yet i got the dvd finalized but my computer isnt letting me download it to the hard drive

  • @PaintedHorseLover well i finally got it on here i had to record it on my phone and put it on here so the quality isnt great. my computer wouldnt let me put just that one run on here it was either everything on the disc or nothing. the video name is flag race milan tn

  • @PaintedHorseLover after you watch my video look up dwight hendrix at milan . he ran the fastest time of the weekend during the first run saturday with a 7.297

  • hah, i have horrible hand eye cordination. i have to slow down so muccch, my horse can di it but i cant!! awesome job :)

  • weird, Ive always done flag race completely different:

    2 barrels, one at the beginning, and one near the end of the arena, you grab the pole/flag from the first then race around the end barrel and throw the flag in from as far back as possible...further back, more time shaved off, miss the barrel, disqualified and or 5 seconds added on to your time.

    I dont understand why they use the pales, instead of a metal drum/barrel ? explain?

  • @hayleyclarke I am not sure why they do it this way. Just always have. It is harder to hit a five gallon pail then a 55 gallon drum so I guess somewhere in the past it was the challenge of it all to go with a smaller target.

  • @PaintedHorseLover

    We do it the same way at my barn! But I have done the other way, it has a different name, I know that, but I cannot remember....

  • come down to milan tennessee on the 3rd weekend of july at the world flag race and we will show you how to run flags. our track is longer than that and so far our fastest time is a 6,469

  • @Tbone9722 do you have a video I can see? Like to see how you do the flag race.

  • holy mother of pearl that girl is beasting on the flag race!!!!!!! omg good job wtg!!

  • wow! that was really good!! i can do flags but not that fast! XD lol

  • I can do that Faster aye !

  • @camanchee123 Well lets see the video of you doing it faster or even doing it at all. Put your video where your mouth is.

  • @PaintedHorseLover yup, i would like to see camanchee123 do it faster too. anyway your daughter is awesome!!!!!!!!!! i started flag racing a couple months ago. i had a flag race last night...

  • @lucygoat1234 How did you do? Did you get a video? If you did hope to see it here soon.

  • @PaintedHorseLover i didnt pick up the flag :( i pick up the flag everytime in practice. i try to push her over to the flag but there is this white gate that always spookes her at the horse shows so she jumps away from it .... if i pick it up i almost always stick it. hopefully today when i go and ride i will get a video

  • Barrel racing is awesome. I LOVE IT!!!

  • That an every day event at our shows, most speed riders do poles, barrels, keyhole, and speed. Some even do barrel pickup. When you going for highpoint you can't slowdown. Even the youngest children are started on a seasoned horse that goes all out no matter what. But I know every where and every one is different. Great run though.

  • @dyan13lucky Would love to see some of your clips with your shows. Love to see good runs.

  • @PaintedHorseLover I'll try to get some at the next show. This year I'm doing only slowgaited. But I can get some videos of the other riders.

  • Wow :) she's awesome

  • you should see some people in my 4h cicuit. this is nothin'!

  • Well lets see what you can show me.

  • WOW.. OMG that was Fast !!!

  • cool hope i can get that good

  • Man I wish our flag race had a 3rd barrel

  • o that was kul but i did a 9 second run :)

  • She would do this in 7 seconds depending how big the arena was or far apart the barrels would be set. When you get a video of you doing this I would love to see it. Always like to see another barrel racer doing this class and doing it a good fast and not stopping when picking up or dropping the flag off.

  • Tthis clip is 11 seconds but you have to relize where the timers are set. You have part of this video where her run is before the she even past the timer and after passing the timer. If I remember right she had a eight second run and no one even came close to her time.

  • This way looks alot more difficult than the way we do it now. We just have one barrel to exchange flags on. Great job! :)

  • I have seen that on youtube. It iseems a little bit slower also to make the run by droping off and picking up and different flag. I like this way as you can get moving and if your good hit the bucket on the run.
