I ride an Arab that has been busting out 18-22 second pole runs for a lot of his life. He's 24 now and can still run them that fast, it's so much fun! That was an awesome run!
wow nice, my 11 year old did her first competitive pole bending race last sunday with a run of 26 seconds in an outdoor arena which was heavy and full of clogs which wasnt too shabby by the looks of things.
The amazing thing is, there are little spots where he slowed downa little. If he truly did the pattern without those little spots he would have had a lower time. Still, AMAZING run!
sorry your probably getting anoyed for me commiting again but i just wanted to say thanks for posting this video, i noticed how when you weave you sit up and kinda lean forward rather than sitting in the saddle. so i have been trying that and i have been consistently shaving half a sec off my patterns going from a average 23.0 to 22.5s and i even clocked a 22.1 (my personal best) i am no where near ur level but i just wanted to say thanks, you helped me outand probably didnt even realize it lol
@Barrelracerr212 I would never get annoyed!! Thank you so much for posting this and letting me know! I acutally coach and teach because I just want to help people succeed! I have learned a lot through teaching about the way a person should run poles. Its great that you have picked out to shorten those lines, and get up over your horse. Now here is the rest of the secret to 19 second poles: when you weave, you need to create bend towards the pole with the horses nose, not pull away.
wow! awesome! pole bending is my favorite gymkhana event! i still run my 23 y.o. arab/saddlebred mare at fair every year. it's so hard to slow her down! she may be 23, but she acts like she's about 7! congrats on your run by the way! =)
If you want to get REAL specific here, then watch the video closely- watch what the horse does BEFORE he nicks that second-last pole on the first weave-through.
He was late in switching his previous lead from pole 4-5 before the rider even thought about looking back, and he put himself off-rhythym, which is why he didn't switch correctly for the end pole. He was in the wrong place to do it, which was a mistake on his part long before the look-back, and not because the rider threw him off.
It totally depends on *how* you look. At that speed, you are actually going to be leaning in the direction you're looking. This is why we tell barrel racers to *not* look at their barrel.
I did just try this in my chair, and my weight only shifted back to the opposite direction as I was looking when I concentrated and leaned back. When I just looked, my weight shifted in the same direction as the look.
So yes, her weight went to the outside, which would have allowed the proper leadchange.
Yeah he didn't change where he's supposed to. She looked back after the spot where he normally would have changed, and if you watch the rest of her body, her weight isn't shifting just from the turn of the neck. If anything she NEEDED to get her weight back to the outside (the direction she looked) and encourage him to change the hind lead with her inside hip out of the way.
@IIIBarsV Exactly. but when she looked away it shifted her weight to the inside. just try it sitting in a chair, look to your left and you'll feel your weight shift to the right and vise versa....
i bet it felt great to win at Congress! that was an amazing run too! i have always dreamed of going to congress. but i need to fing a good quarter horse first.
there is no other feeling like it in the world! The first time I won back in '07, the jr. horse poles, I had to sit down because I was shaking and crying and couldn't believe it!
great run! i watched you make this run.. it was awesome! i was also talking to you at congress but idk if you remember me. i was talking to you about how you trained your horse and you gave me some advice to help me with my 4 yr old and it it helped so much!! she has improved a ton in the last six months!
thank you! where was it that we were talking? In the coliseum, out in the warm up pen? Im so glad that I could help! I watched some of your videos and it looks like your horses are really coming along!
Am I the only one that got chills? :D Lovely lol I get 22s on my QH/arab cross. You really gotta ride your horse to get up there in time haha xx

You really shouldn't look back like that, it throws your horse off, thats why he turned back up soo wide!
Tbrls23 2 years ago
yeah, maybe, if he always turned that bottom pole tight, which he doesnt! and if you watch closely, he didnt switch his hind lead
