I am totally impressed... i have rodeoed alot and there is no way i could stay in an english saddle barrelracing... i have to use the saddle horn... i think you would surprise many if just because decide to use a barrelracing saddle. that horse would probably win a few. i think you did great. if anyone puts you down with this... it is their problem not yours.... great job!
Who ever says shes not a real cowgirl needs to stop. I bet you people whos saying such mean things couldn't do that in an english saddle. She is a real cowgirl because its not about your saddle. It's about having the heart to care about people and your horse and get back on after a fall. So shut up! She's more of a cowgirl than you are. Keep having fun @Sashaleboudinay thats what its about! :) P.S. your a really great rider and you have an amazing horse.
Yall are really rude to be telling this girl that she is not a real cowgirl and stuff. Barrel racing is a sport for anyone who chooses and in her description she said it was a fun show. im sure if she wanted to do it seriously then she would have hada proper saddle and everything. If you were a real cowgirl you would be open hearted for the girl to having fun and actually giving the sport a chance. Yall are a discrace to barrel raacing and cowgirls everywhere. Yall are reallyy rude. You go girl
@katz11301 no she isn't if she was in a western saddle and dressed in a t shirt then you wouldn't think she was that bad she bad great balance and amazing potential as a rider and I've been barrel racing for 13 years
To all you people who say barrel racing in an english saddle is wrong shut your mouths, She did it for fun, just because you think it is wrong doesn't mean you need to say so it is being rude, most of you couldn't stay on your horse while barrel racing in an english saddle because you have no balance without your saddle horns. GOOD riders can ride in any saddle at any speed without falling off and so you shouldn't be criticizing this girl who wanted to do it for fun.

first of all i can barrel race with out a saddle so that dosent invole any thing all u have is your legs balance and mane which u realy cant use the mane anyway because u need both hands on the reins to controll the horse and i have been barrle raceing since i was five and i am 14 know so yah 9 years and english people stick to your stuff and us western people will stick to are stuff alright
wow you lost a sturrip XD Thats why barrel racing is for cowgirls, but cool that you had the guts to do that, I have most respect for you and happy riding!
@KJstables i ride english all the time and barrel race in an english and western saddle, so don't say it's just for cowgirls, it's just a saddle idiot.
@normalreality Yea, guess what it is. Because thats where the cowboy hats and all come from, just because you can do the pattern does not make you a cowgirl and its a cowgirl's sport, go jump or something please :) I wasnt talking to you.
this is to @TheSloneh honestly you need to shut your mouth, the only reason us western riders hold on to the saddle horn is beacause we NEED to, it has nothing to do with talent has has somrthing to do with called - BEING SMART any barrel racer would know that if you dont hold on to the horn while your racing at top speed you wont be palanced and a saddle isntfor just sitting you ass in it it is forr balance and control dumb ass!
@15ilovecg Actually it does have to do with talent, experience and training too. If you don't hold on the the horn you have better control and balance actually. In ANY western class of any sort they tell you to not hold onto the horn. The horn is there for ROPING not barrel racing or holding onto because you can't handle the turns. If you need to hold onto the horn then get off the horse, you shouldn't be up there. Sorry if this sounds rude but I have been barrel racing my entire life.
not to be rude or anything but just cause you lost a strup dosent mean you cant ride you really dont need them at all there there for people for bad ballence i have barrel raced where both my strups have came off
@iloveashar9 dude relax,im sorry she doesnt have perfect balance. This was posted 4 years ago, she could have been a beginner for all you know. Also she normally rides english therefore she isnt used to running barrels so of course her balance isnt going to be perfect. Maybe you should invest in new stirrup leather if your both your stirupps fell off while you were riding barrels, that or YOU were depending on them too much and put them in a weird position causing them to come off.
Iv been riding english for 11 years and i can barrel race in an english saddle. I dont think its hard, it requires good balance. Though i did western for many years before english
AWESOME! Hahahaha. Really, all I would need would be the balance of stirrups, western or english and I could do anything. Take away that stability and go bareback. That's the real challenge
@templadolovergirl chill I have done it a million times in an english saddle for fun when ever I helped with my barns beginner camp to help demostrate the pattern. I never fell off and died, all I did was have fun.
That was really good i thought you were doing awesome only thing is why did you not turn that barrel the first time i knw you lost your stirup but i bet you could of handeld it im not saying any thing mean just was wondering and buetiful horse
BARREL RACING IS FOR WESTERN!!!!!!!!!, cant you tell tehe!!!!!! srry!!!!! i just think that its war when english invades true western sports cuse i dont go out and jump in my western saddle do i!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahahha! I love that! "Can i start over?!" "NO!!! Keep going go go go!!" xD Lovely turns and your horse is super pretty! Never seen it done quite like that, in an english saddle, but hey, looked fun xD Though im 100% Western, i got nothin against any other rider..i only have something against them if they mistreat they're horse. And that goes for all types of riders. ^^
Looks like it'd be real hard ding barrels in an english saddle. My dad barely lets me ride English Saddle (Actually doesn't I just don't tell my horse instructor that b/c english is fun) because he said he 'like' the english saddle because it's too formal and not western ... I don't see what the problem is!
All of you idiots that think western is herder than English and all u do in english is walk\trot\canter around in circles in one arena, GET A DAMN BRAIN!!!!
@Jaberwalkie93 exsuse me you get a brain yall fumb asses just jump on their neck and jump, we gotta stay on, TURN, BURN and know our horse and wrap em around the barrel, its harder than your dumb ass try to run barrels on a true barrel horse and stay on dumb ass, ITS HARD to have the speed,balance,and turns IN OUR CIRCLE!!! so go fuck off
@corrineh2424 well u know wht jackass? english is hard to. damn western isnt the only hard one. and we dont just jump. we MAKE the horse jump. and incase u idiot didnt know this, we need balace, agility, stamina, and speed just as much as fucking western. so shut the hell up!
@corrineh2424 you spelled dumb ass wrong, dumb ass. turn and burn? is that like shake and bake? lmao. we don't lay on the neck, idiot. you know the horse's back? yeah, we stay there, thanks. i've met respectable barrel racers, you are NOT one of them. you just gallop and turn. congrats! i hope you feel accomplished.
@corrineh2424 um ok you little you know what i was joking . get a life or possible a brain . I ride english also you dummy . So i wasnt trying to offend anyone . overly defensive much? how old are you? like 10?
@gobarrelracing ok then why did you say anything, get a brain?, bitch please make up ur mind?.... go get a life dumb ass and uhm even if i was 10 i make more sence then u?... k bye
@corrineh2424 wtf is your problem. ANYONE that does both english and western riding will tell you that it is slightly harder to ride english because we don't have as deep of a seat. And you do understand that kids read the comments. I would really REALLY like to see you run barrels in an english saddle. Ever wondered why there is no western event in the olympics. Because obviously Europe and the rest of the world think you look like an idiot in a western saddle.
@JumperHunterLover OK i agree with you until a certain point!!! The type of saddle you use does not impact how good or bad of a rider you are!!! I ride in both western and english and I can say that Barrel racing is WAY harder than jumping and dressage (which i also do).. Of course that is my opinion but saying thatppl look like idiots in a western saddle is really not a smart thing to say!!!
@JumperHunterLover ok thats great for you do you know that a western saddle has a saddle horn? ok them if you hold on you can stay on!! Unlike you i have an open mind i know that english can be hard but i personally like western thats just me!! no need to go on!!! you are the most ignorant person of all time!! wow!!! Watch what you say!!! and if you have nothing good to say then SAY NOTHING AT ALL!!! and again FYI thats just MY OPINION!!!
@JumperHunterLover I have been doing both english and western for years and i honestly say that western is better.. BUT THATS JUST MEEE!!! yes you will find people that like english better and some, like me, will like western better. That's just it. it depends on the person. and if you havnet done both and experienced both feelings and the defference in the sports then you cant honestly say that one discipline is better or harder than the other. It depends on the person and if they've done it b4
@JumperHunterLover Duh I ride western and english is hard to balance on but western takes a ton of muscle to keep your ass in the seat and wow I watched your videos don't be ragging on western until you can jump higher than six inches kay?
@maybhicks9596 You *do* realize that I don't own a video camera. I was using my friends. Secondly no one was at the barn that day except for my friend so we were playing it safe. I have jumped over 3 foot with my pony mmk you little know it all.
@JumperHunterLover No I *didn't* realize that and I wouldn't say english is harder since I can jump my WESTERN horse higher than yours and I never claimed to know it all but you must think your a pretty badass rider huh?
@maybhicks9596 Excuse me for trying to save my horses joints. She's a pony and regulation height is 3 ft. Sorry for not planing to jump my pony 4ft. And i'm obviously badass compared to you.
@JumperHunterLover Sorry but my horse isn't much bigger than a pony and she's fine? And at higher level pony jumping shows they have jumper 3ft. 6- 4ft, I get paid to ride horses do you?
@maybhicks9596 first of all i'm a junior rider. Secondly if I got paid that would go against child labor laws. And 3rdly in VA we have this rule that if you are paid to ride your lose your amateur status and become professionals. So I wouldn't be able to compete in anything other than adult hunters. And in the pony jumpers competitions it's 3 ft to 3 ft 6. Not 4ft.
its probally a versatillity class people! I think its cool ! goodness gracious!!!! Im a barrel racer. I love it. But sheesh, the girl was having fun. Ride on girl!(:
I have raced barrels for a few years, and I also ride english. But I think it better to race b's in an english saddle cause your horse goes fastr! So dont take any crap from the a- holes! I think it was neat. though in the future remember you can't restart the clock after you started it! ( And I KNOW my spellling is wrong)
you can ride fast in any saddle or bareback for that matter. Also you can finish a barrel pattern in anytype of saddle or bareback. But people that are serious about competing on higher levels do ride in a western barrel saddle which has a higher back to hold you in and a longer horn in which to grab onto in hard turns. Do not get so offended. Everyone has an opinion, and if you are having fun and that is what you are striving for then ride anyway you want to.
You missunderstand, I never said you couldn't ride fast in any style of saddle. I also never got offended, seeing how that's not me in the video. I simply replied to your comment where you implied that she broke the pattern and wasn't going fast because she was riding an English saddle - and like I said - the style of saddle has nothing to do with a riders ability. The two are completely unrelated.
i think its funny when she said she lost her stirrup she wanted to try it again, well ive seen people loose both stirrups and complete the clover with no complaint soooo
In a western saddle, especially a barrel saddle, it is not a problem to ride without stirrups, especially when you are used to it.
But in an English saddle it's a whole nother story. Plus, it isn't really safe to have an iron bouncing about freely, you could injure yourself or the horse.
i would not leet people comment this is a joke these people just give you crap and agrue also you even said in the description about all of it and they just talk about themselves when they cant prove anything i am proud of you doing this in a english saddle
okay i know this was for fun so idk why you people are agruing but anywaay this is so funny! your horse is like what the hell you did a good job though
For everyone correcting her.... she said it was for fun. There was a girl at a barrel meet that i knew and she went in on her big eq warmblood that she showed and won in the 3'3 eq. she went in in a bunch of classes with the barrel racers and smoked their asses winning everything she entered, so don't say its not possible when it is(:
english is slow if you have a need for speed like i do you ride western i think english is just a way to stay balanced sholders back keep it up you can do everything in western english you are limited so very one who thinks english is better you can barely get anything done in it like work(western)
first of all, you broke pattern, ride anyway you want to in any kind of saddle, but a roper does not ride with an english saddle, nor does do you show up for a gun fight with a knife. That being said, have fun, but do not think that the horn is there for no reason, until you ride a 13.7 second barrel horse, you will know what it is there for. Have fun, enjoy like and keep enjoying your horses.
come on guys! i rid both styles. but i usually ri de western but enjoy english for jumping. and western riders arent stupid! please try to think before you talk next time!
Let me clear something up to some of you. A real rider doesn't grab on to the saddle horn at ANY time. Why would you need to?
English and western are equal. There's no need to act like children about it, now is there? Honestly, folks. A saddle is simply something you sit your ass in. A true rider could maneuver in any saddle or without one. It's not about style. It's about talent.
It takes some serious balance and poise to barrel race in an English saddle. In fact, there are some barrel racers that ride regularly in an English saddle to work on balance.
Neither discipline is better than the other. Different in ways? Yes. Better than the other? NO.
Real horsemen/horsewomen don't bash other disciplines. That is true.
I could not agree more. I have never understood the animosity between some riders. I think a well rounded horseman can appreciate the challeges and benefits of both styles of riding.
I think the animosity comes from immaturity and ignorance, and the fact that people will jump into a fight with out trying to learn about or discuss a topic.
Ignorance definitely is at the core of the "battle of the disciplines," It seems as though riders feel like they have to make their chosen style superior to the other, when in fact neither is better or worse, it's just a personal preference. It's so silly to argue otherwise! lol
hahaha this is so stupid of ppl to be fighting...i am western and english and any one who says i can ride..dont! IT WAS FOR FUN..you stupid dumb asses..FOR FUN..its says it in the description..dear lord..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Barel racing is friken western you stupid dumb wanna be cowgirls are so stupid. BARREL RACING IS ONLY FOR REAL COWGIRLS!!!!!!!!!!! not like you dumb ass english people!!!!!!!!!!!!
wtf! u need to shut uer god damn mouth! :| just cause we ride english dosent mean we cant do the same shit u do! i think she did a great job! uer the dumb ass trying to stir up shit like this! get a life a respect pepoles style of riding! :|
Just shut up you! Western riding people arent stupid! And neither are english! If you say some thing bad about western to me, you are gonna get some thing said that is way worse about english. So just shut up!
be serious, look how slow she is going, she broke pattern, There is a real reason there are differences in saddles. I can guarantee if you stepped up on a real barrel horse you would shit your britches horn or not! Get ya some!!!
@HorseLover1494 Not trying to be a B*tch. But we dont fricken rely on the horn!! Barrel racing in an english saddle aint fricken hard. I actually ran a better run bareback, where there is nothing, i didnt use a bridle either, i used a halter and lead rope! And if u havent noticed, barrel racers dont hold on to a horn the whole run, well most of em, we hold on a horn when we turn so we can sink in to the saddle and horse digs in to ground.
hahahahahahah NO, ONE you english riders dont go faster than a fucking canter, OOOooo arent you cool NO Barrel racing is flat out running than have to make a tight turn around a barrel but when goung around the barrel holding onto the hirn to sit deep in the seat, dont you talk shot about Western when you dont know shit about it, Barrel racing in much more difficult than walk trot and cantering in a arena going both ways, you dont know SHIT
We do more thn just a walk/trot/canter. So here is your english lesson for the day, We jump 5ft, we run our hearts, So I wouldnt be talkin shit, and like she said IT WAS JUST FOR FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! dumb ass
I'm not saying that western you dont run your hearts out, im just saying your wrong. In english when your jumping and your horse falls/trips/etc we drop about 5ft. so stop talkin shit!
I've done barrels in english tack before! i did all my high school EQ team stuff in english tack, and I got placings! everyone thought i was crazy, but it was SO much fun, im actually going to do speed shows next year! rock on english riders!
that was realy good for an english horse not like they cant do it ya no just they dnt barrle race much well not normaly u no lol do u barrle race much
wow whoever said we western riders dont have any balance i can kick your little city ass in BAREBACK BARREL RACING WITH JUST A HALTER AND LEADROPE everybody has to have a saddle these days
uhhmmmm, people barrel race all the time without saddle horns for all you people saying that english riders have better balance, it's called BAREBACK BARREL RACING !
Dude, I run my horse in an english saddle all the time. It just proves that I have better balance than people like you. I'd love to see someone ride a horse without a horn to hold on to and do barrels.
@Sabel21 Actually bareback barrels are harder than english saddle barrels. I do it bareback and with a halter and lead rope. Some times with just a rope around the neck. And its B.S that you think that. WE DONT RELY ON THE FRICKEN HORN!
ur ok at barrel racing (ok not that good) but seriously y do ppl get so worked up? its just for fun. i ride western and im starting barrel racing but u seem good at riding and ur horse is pretty
ok seriously idk why people have to get so worked up over something thats on video! you dont even know the girl for god sake! give her a break you guys need to read the discription before you say shit i mean seriously come on now! it dosent matter its not like she was barrel racing at the world finals she was barrel racing for fun!! FOR FUN!!!
I ride Western, and I don't care that you used an engliosh saddle, in my opinion you need better balance to ride english, so I thinks thats actually really impressive.
Omg I love doing this! I love playing Keyhole and rings with my horse and he loves it too! He gallops into the box turns around and gallops out without me even asking!
umm ok horsebackrider420 if your talking to me i just bought a 4 year old morgan arabian gelding thats not broke and im training it and no i dont ride in a hand me down saddle so you can go fuck your ugly peice of shit horse. And suck it. Because i have a 900$ weatern wintec and then i have a 6500$ or more i forget. So FUCK YOU BITCH.
omg. Dont you know english isn't for barrel racing and im strickly western and i dont think english losers should be doing western stuff. So why dont you get a life and do english stuff. And sorry to those people who think that im a total bitch fro saying that but wtf. Im just telling it how it is, and there is so no starting over its not like you go out to do something and like mess up and expect to get a re-trie.
whats wrong with english riders doing western stuff? SO WHAT?
seriously there is nothing wrong with someone who rides english and wants to do a bit of western stuff, its not going to hurt anyone or the horse if you know what ur doing!
and if you can go around a group of barrels at a gallop without holding onto anything, then u got balance, and this girl does! even if she did muck up a little!
bahahaha right now im rofling cause of what u put.
REAL barrel racers hold onto the horn during the turns for better turns and to keep you in the postion that your horse is reading. you have to stay in a certain position for the tightest turn you could possibly make. so please. stfu.
and anyways. that was NOT a full gallop what she did. so shut ur mouth.
your really rude! if you have good balance you don't need to hold the horn around the barrel so don't talk about being a 'real barrel racer'. obviously you arn't that good at barrels or you wouldn't be whining
okay have you even done it? it's hard and you need the horn to hold you in. you don't just need 'good balance'. you could have the best balancer in the world and he would still use the horn. so don't talk if you don't know what your saying. the horn is there, use it, it's not just there to look pretty.
Just so you know, I ride western, I show in barrel as well as compete in team penning and break out roping, so shut up about your "horn - holding' garbage and practise riding better. I NEVER hold the horn, nor do I use tie-downs, gag bits or any of the other crap. I can team pen in a rope halter, so why don't you get a life!
and claps to you for being able to team pen in a halter. that doesn't say much. its just saying your horse is well trained.
and i don't know why ur telling me to get a life...you are going around making comments on ppls vids like me and your telling me to get a life? fuck off...
accauly the horn on the western saddle is not there for people who have no balance to hold on to. its for when accaul cowboys who live on a working cattle farm need to rope cows. so they can tie the rope around the horn.
you were pretty good but you should not do English on that horse you should do timed events it is soooooo fun not that english isn't it's just that horse has speed
for an english saddle that was pretty darn good that horse is a barrel horse he could probaly run them realy realy fast! if he trained! BUT awsome job!
I wouldnt be able to do it in a english saddle..so props to u! :)

Looks like it'd be real hard ding barrels in an english saddle. My dad barely lets me ride English Saddle (Actually doesn't I just don't tell my horse instructor that b/c english is fun) because he said he 'like' the english saddle because it's too formal and not western ... I don't see what the problem is!

Because obviously Europe and the rest of the world think you look like an idiot in a western saddle.
JumperHunterLover 1 year ago
@JumperHunterLover OK i agree with you until a certain point!!! The type of saddle you use does not impact how good or bad of a rider you are!!! I ride in both western and english and I can say that Barrel racing is WAY harder than jumping and dressage (which i also do).. Of course that is my opinion but saying thatppl look like idiots in a western saddle is really not a smart thing to say!!!

BUT THATS JUST MEEE!!! yes you will find people that like english better and some, like me, will like western better. That's just it. it depends on the person. and if you havnet done both and experienced both feelings and the defference in the sports then you cant honestly say that one discipline is better or harder than the other. It depends on the person and if they've done it b4

@JumperHunterLover Sorry but my horse isn't much bigger than a pony and she's fine? And at higher level pony jumping shows they have jumper 3ft. 6- 4ft, I get paid to ride horses do you?
maybhicks9596 1 year ago
@maybhicks9596 first of all i'm a junior rider. Secondly if I got paid that would go against child labor laws. And 3rdly in VA we have this rule that if you are paid to ride your lose your amateur status and become professionals. So I wouldn't be able to compete in anything other than adult hunters. And in the pony jumpers competitions it's 3 ft to 3 ft 6. Not 4ft.

MandiLynn18 1 year ago
you can ride fast in any saddle or bareback for that matter. Also you can finish a barrel pattern in anytype of saddle or bareback. But people that are serious about competing on higher levels do ride in a western barrel saddle which has a higher back to hold you in and a longer horn in which to grab onto in hard turns. Do not get so offended. Everyone has an opinion, and if you are having fun and that is what you are striving for then ride anyway you want to.
HIGHONBIANKUS 1 year ago
You missunderstand, I never said you couldn't ride fast in any style of saddle. I also never got offended, seeing how that's not me in the video. I simply replied to your comment where you implied that she broke the pattern and wasn't going fast because she was riding an English saddle - and like I said - the style of saddle has nothing to do with a riders ability. The two are completely unrelated.

Devian016 2 years ago
In a western saddle, especially a barrel saddle, it is not a problem to ride without stirrups, especially when you are used to it.
But in an English saddle it's a whole nother story. Plus, it isn't really safe to have an iron bouncing about freely, you could injure yourself or the horse.
MandiLynn18 1 year ago

For everyone correcting her.... she said it was for fun. There was a girl at a barrel meet that i knew and she went in on her big eq warmblood that she showed and won in the 3'3 eq. she went in in a bunch of classes with the barrel racers and smoked their asses winning everything she entered, so don't say its not possible when it is(:

mollysdeath 2 years ago
first of all, you broke pattern, ride anyway you want to in any kind of saddle, but a roper does not ride with an english saddle, nor does do you show up for a gun fight with a knife. That being said, have fun, but do not think that the horn is there for no reason, until you ride a 13.7 second barrel horse, you will know what it is there for. Have fun, enjoy like and keep enjoying your horses.

westerncowgurl4eva 2 years ago
Nice video. :)
Let me clear something up to some of you. A real rider doesn't grab on to the saddle horn at ANY time. Why would you need to?
English and western are equal. There's no need to act like children about it, now is there? Honestly, folks. A saddle is simply something you sit your ass in. A true rider could maneuver in any saddle or without one. It's not about style. It's about talent.
TheSloneh 2 years ago 2
It takes some serious balance and poise to barrel race in an English saddle. In fact, there are some barrel racers that ride regularly in an English saddle to work on balance.
Neither discipline is better than the other. Different in ways? Yes. Better than the other? NO.
Real horsemen/horsewomen don't bash other disciplines. That is true.
SaddleCollector 2 years ago 29
I could not agree more. I have never understood the animosity between some riders. I think a well rounded horseman can appreciate the challeges and benefits of both styles of riding.
MandiLynn18 1 year ago
Finally, someone agrees with me on Youtube. LOL.
I think the animosity comes from immaturity and ignorance, and the fact that people will jump into a fight with out trying to learn about or discuss a topic.
SaddleCollector 1 year ago
Ignorance definitely is at the core of the "battle of the disciplines," It seems as though riders feel like they have to make their chosen style superior to the other, when in fact neither is better or worse, it's just a personal preference. It's so silly to argue otherwise! lol

HIGHONBIANKUS 2 years ago
The type of saddle rode has nothing to do with a riders ability to go fast or complete the pattern correctly.
MandiLynn18 1 year ago
@HorseLover1494 Not trying to be a B*tch. But we dont fricken rely on the horn!! Barrel racing in an english saddle aint fricken hard. I actually ran a better run bareback, where there is nothing, i didnt use a bridle either, i used a halter and lead rope! And if u havent noticed, barrel racers dont hold on to a horn the whole run, well most of em, we hold on a horn when we turn so we can sink in to the saddle and horse digs in to ground.
BarrelRacer955 2 years ago
hahahahahahah NO, ONE you english riders dont go faster than a fucking canter, OOOooo arent you cool NO Barrel racing is flat out running than have to make a tight turn around a barrel but when goung around the barrel holding onto the hirn to sit deep in the seat, dont you talk shot about Western when you dont know shit about it, Barrel racing in much more difficult than walk trot and cantering in a arena going both ways, you dont know SHIT

countrygalGem10101 2 years ago
hahaha wow.
bahahaha right now im rofling cause of what u put.
REAL barrel racers hold onto the horn during the turns for better turns and to keep you in the postion that your horse is reading. you have to stay in a certain position for the tightest turn you could possibly make. so please. stfu.
and anyways. that was NOT a full gallop what she did. so shut ur mouth.
x1moose1x 2 years ago
if your a REAL rider you dont need a horn to stay on yes you need certain postions & stuff but you CAN do it in a english saddle
& dont tell me to stfu thats just plain rude.
and this girl was having fun shes propbably never even done this b4 nor the horse so how are they ment to do it at a gallop?
i presume you being such a expert should of known that.
countrygalGem10101 2 years ago
your really rude! if you have good balance you don't need to hold the horn around the barrel so don't talk about being a 'real barrel racer'. obviously you arn't that good at barrels or you wouldn't be whining
WiccasKiss 2 years ago
okay have you even done it? it's hard and you need the horn to hold you in. you don't just need 'good balance'. you could have the best balancer in the world and he would still use the horn. so don't talk if you don't know what your saying. the horn is there, use it, it's not just there to look pretty.
god i hate ppl like u
x1moose1x 2 years ago
Just so you know, I ride western, I show in barrel as well as compete in team penning and break out roping, so shut up about your "horn - holding' garbage and practise riding better. I NEVER hold the horn, nor do I use tie-downs, gag bits or any of the other crap. I can team pen in a rope halter, so why don't you get a life!
WiccasKiss 2 years ago
ahahahaha. never? you are COOL.
and claps to you for being able to team pen in a halter. that doesn't say much. its just saying your horse is well trained.
and i don't know why ur telling me to get a life...you are going around making comments on ppls vids like me and your telling me to get a life? fuck off...
x1moose1x 2 years ago
accauly the horn on the western saddle is not there for people who have no balance to hold on to. its for when accaul cowboys who live on a working cattle farm need to rope cows. so they can tie the rope around the horn.
