  • OMFG SAVE THE EFFING DRAMA FOR YOUR LLAMA.

  • very first pic.. lol you don't aim straight for the first barrel.. you go straight then turn to the first barrel

  • I feel bad for the horse who has the obise lady riding it! LOL

    

  • i rope and jump on the same horse, and i train abused horses in both types of saddels, in fact i like english saddels for that cuz you don`t have a saddl horn smacking you in the stomach when your horse rears and i like western saddel because you don`t fall off as easy. English ridders fall off more often because whoever invented an english saddel was eather an idiot or had perfect balace and nglected to realize his saddel would not keep any one on. O and i`ve been bucked off in boath

  • Barrel raceing is one of thoughs sports that can somtimes be won because a horsehas been hyper trained to do the patter blinddingly fast that it dosn`t matter who rides them they just do it when they see three barrels and an areana, i`ve sean a girl who`s feet were to short to even kick her horse and she just leaned up the horse`s neack AND SHE WON but it is not easy with other horses, i admit i don`t barrel race, but i admier thpughs that do , english = western i ride both

  • love the vid i love barrel racing its such a rush gotta luv it and its not as easy as it looks people!!!

  • Hey i ride saddle seat english!! And i absolutly love barrel racing!!! i barrel race on a horse that rears up at every fuckn barrel most the time!! but hey!! i still win!!

  • @Got2LuvMidnightRides ok, so ur just weird. and yes i have done barrel racing and it was EASY

  • Comment removed

  • @kivagirl03 Barrel Racing is NOT easy. Maybe you had a horse that knew the pattern by heart but with your ignorance there's no way you did ANY of the work. To be a barrel racer is takes strength, balance, heart, passion, speed, and not to mention a wonderful horse.

  • @BarrelRacer951 yeah yeah, whatever~! i doubt you can even barrel race the right way stupid

  • @kivagirl03 Reining Champion of 2 different riding clubs, Qualified for the NHSRA for the last 2 years, won Grand Champion at 12 different rodeos, Mrs. 2010-2011 FPR, Mrs. 2009-2010 BPR, JR. Ms. 2006 - 2007 FGR and only 15 years old. Please inform me on what I'm doing wrong. ( :

  • @HeMakesMeCrazier Thank You. (:

  • Ok. So I have NEVER used a tie down while barrel racing and half them do. I practiced with one once and it slowed me down so i never use them. makes them lots faster

  • 0:47 she's about to pop right outta the saddle.

  • eventing is way betta! trust meeeee! ;

    )

  • @kivagirl03 Its not! trust meeeee!

  • horse back sux I mean check out footbal drageacing and nascar XD

  • @Cheesecakemilitia2 dude chill! riding is a serious sport ! who need football when u have horses! duh!

  • @kivagirl03 Horseback riding sucks HARD

  • It is a lovely photo

  • Horse riding is something that is for everyone to enjoy, and no one has the right to say which discipline is better than the others. I do pretty much a bit of everything, barrel raceing, ropeing, cutting, reining, jumping, dressage, english, eventing, bareback, and some freestyle :) lol but i can tell you each one of them is a different experience and none of them are the best, people have their prefferences but that doesnt make them right. They are entitled to their opinon but EVERYONE is.

  • @Inuyamarou I do agree but my opinion is barrel racing is the best no offense

  • @barrellracer4evers ummm no its NOT! ummm eventing is way better!

  • @barrellracer4evers and thats fine, whatever someone likes can be the best to them and no one has any right to say otherwise

  • love song

  • Its not just for fun... its a way of life :)

  • @TurnNBurnBaby3 u know it is! finally ! someone to agree with me! hahaha

  • I like the song and the video its so good!

  • 17 ok ..16 good 15 pretty fast 14 really fast

  • gah. 0:44 its a wonder she didnt fly back outta the saddle

  • r u on face book I saw 1 of the pitchurs on face book?

  • holy cow... phew :44 needs to sit her butt down lol

  • I love running barrels. In my 1st rodeo i got 19.27 seconds. That got me 5th place in the JRS. But i'm betting i can get like a 17 second run now. lol Nice vid!! You had some really nice pics in there. Keep up the awesome work

  • you have some really great pics...good song too.. :))

  • I Iiked you channel. Hope you don't mind the inclusion of the short film I posted. You seem caring and I thought you would be okay with help some kids. Hope I was right. Thanks.

  • i did all of those sports and i win alot and i won grand champion

  • kewl video

  • awesome

  • Comment removed

  • .44 sec thats so cool i think the music matches well

  • Comment removed

  • i LOVE the pic at 0:44. It wicked.

  • if you love english riding then dont watch a friken western video it says barrel racing in the name unless you looked it up just to write retarded comments in which case go shove a saddle up your butt

  • I need to count how many horse videos i click on have a fight. Can we all just love horses, or is that too much to ask? -_-

  • I agree with you! What's the point?!?!?!

    We all ride for the same reason, because we love it!!! It's so stupid to argue about i.

  • Awsome video!!!!

  • good video

  • wow i dont see why there's a need to argue. I give all rider's there given credit, if you can get on a horse and ride you have my credit. There's no need to fight over saddles or styles or anything. Horse riding should bring people together not TEAR THEM APART. Come on people get over yourselves and admit other people can ride too.

  • wow people are so immature. we all ride horses and have fun doing it. get over it !!!!

  • Excuse me? You guys all need to grow up! Barrel racing is the most dangerous equestion sport in the world. Unless your a pro, i would shut you rmouth!

  • nicley put, im a barrelracer, and my sister wants to be a jockry and sometime i hear jockys say "horseracing is the most dangerous sport in the world" i just laugh at them

  • and how do u think u become a pro u do it thats the only way to become better

  • oh my god i love how every english or western video turns into an argument!

    when you come down to it, they're the exact same thing

    and that thing is an understanding, a realationship, and a connection between a horse and a rider

    we all do it for the same reason anyway: we love horses

  • @Fall0utAtTheDisco darn rite we <3 horses! haha lol

  • English is NOT for rich snobby ppl u a**hole! we seriously dont give a crap if ur horse is frikin physco! Grow Up!

  • SERIOUSLY all of you need to grow up.

    English and Western riders are both subjected to the same risks. A horse who has their OWN brain. Just because your in a different type of saddle with or without a horn does not make you a wimp, wus. You are BOTH riders and BOTH have enough courage to climb on the back of something that has a brain. So stop bashing eachother with the bad comments. Leave those for the other sports where they really are the wimps.

  • @HeMakesMeCrazier THANK YOU ! :DDDD

  • @HeMakesMeCrazier i rode english for 7 years and im doing barrel racing now. i love western but english did help

  • @HeMakesMeCrazier Agreed.Seriously yall I ride both English & Western.I run at rodeos & do Western Pleasure + I ride Hunter Jumper. Both have risks.The saddle horn isnt even there for you to hold onto, its there to A) for a barrel/pole bending competition saddle to help you give the horse the command to tuck its butt under for the turn, B) for roping & trail saddles to carry equipment.Horse people are horse people and you both take risks when you mount a 1400lbs animal.Save the smack

  • Hey there is nothing wrong with people who rides western. Heck lets see a english rider try to cut a cow without holding on the to saddle horn. The horse I ride you would be on the ground in know time. If you try to cut a cow with her she is that good and very quick come to cutting cows. English is for rich snobby people.

  • k, let me say this, any one who rides horses are NOT sissies and never will be. this sport, yes it is a SPORT, is tougher then football. i think it something like the second toughest sport in the world? maybe not but i know it tough

  • These comments are just too stupid to read. Either you can ride, or you can't. A horn won't hold you on, it is for balance. Riding English in a circle indoors is silly. Riding out doors where anything can happen takes some skill. But on the other hand jumping isn't for sissies either. Some of my worst wreaks have been turning barrels and roping.

  • By the way "Horselover1494". id pay to see you run Full gallop after a crazed steer, rope it, while staying in the saddle, aiming and roping the steer. then slaming the brakes on and jumping off to tie of the steer. WE DO NOT HOLD THE HORN, WE USE IT!!!! ya some barrels racers hold the horn but thats beacuse they can't ride. But they still have a heck of a lot more guts then you!!!!

  • Ya, ok well if English aint whimps whats will that helmets. Beisides i have seen way, way more peolpe fall from English sadles then Western!!!! and ya, there is Western riders who can't ride. But thats not my problem, im talking about us who CAN ride!!!

  • love this vid

  • I train dressage and I barrel race!! Ha! Good video...bad comments!

  • Sorry i don't mean to offend you, but i think all English riders are whimps;) personally almost all of them can't ride

  • i agree

    i rode english for like 3 yrs

    i learned NOTHING

    then i started barrel racing

    nd ive grown so much from it

    im such a better rider now

    nd i started to compete last yr

    nd so far this show season ive moved up 3 classes

    ^_^

  • Haha and what gives you the right to say that? Your just jealous becase English is much harder to stay in the saddle. Its more of a challenge.

  • we can to ride! the horn is only for balence!! look at any barrel racing video, try doing that in a english saddle!

  • i have heard it said that barrel racing is competing on the verge of recklessness. it is easy to be in complete control around the edge of the ring. but to take a horse at break neck and turn three drums in 14 to 16 seconds takes skill and courage. an english horse is really not as well trained as a western horse. you out rein an english horse you neck a western horse. and horns are really only used in turns to keep you from throwing your horse off balance. but if u r scared say u r scared.

  • agreed. nice point(:

  • true, but in english your jumping 5ft or higher, at practically a gallop

    and english horses are obviously well trained. you cant just point a green horse at a 4ft oxer line and assume it's easy enough for it to understand exactly what to do.

    both sports (BR and jumping) and all equine sports for that matter, take large amounts of training

  • but you also dont just point a green horse at the barrels at a gallop and not expect to die

  • excuse me. did you seriously just say that? hahaha. wow. the horn isn't for just hanging on. in roping you dally the freakin rope.. hmm.. don't think there is any hangin on there. when we grab it in barrels it helps position us to help the horse make the turn. don't say we can't ride. i'd like to see you ride a damn barrel horse and then you talk about us western riders. and i've been bucked off several times. the horn doesn't help you hang on. sorry to burst your bubble.

  • oh cool! i never knew that!(:

    haha and i bet the horn would hurt you if the horse started bucking! you'd be rammed right into it!

  • I don't think it's fair to call english rider's whimps. In western, you could crash into a barrel or your horse could fall on the turn. In English, you could hit a cross-country jump, or have a horse stop and go straight over it's head. And in both, your horse could spook, buck, rear etc. And you critise us for wearing helmets? Believe it or not, we value our lives; if you CAN protect yourself, then why shouldn't you? Ok, so we can't rope a cow, so what? Bet we can do things you can't aswell.

  • For example, jumping.

  • And just to say, I think both disciplines are equal. I have never tried western and would like to, aswell =)

  • Good vid! Even though Im a showjumper, I do speed sometimes and it is super fun (:

  • sweet nice video

  • i like the vid&song

  • luvin' it!!! WESTERN KICKS ENGLISH's postin', canterin', jumpin' ass!!! luv the vid!

    COWGIRL UP!

  • Barrel Racing is the best!!! by the way WESTERN IS SO MUCH BETTER THEN ENGLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • why are people bashing english? I ride both and love both equally. :)

  • Barrel racing rocks! I barrel race! Its a good sport and so is jumping!

  • im not much of a barrel racer im a roper but my girlfriend is a barrel racer and it is pretty fun i gatta say but ill just stick my roping

  • uhm excuse me? keep ur fucking orinion about barrel racin keep it to urself. if u find it stupid stop looking up vids about it.

  • Hey! jumper and barrel racers!!!! stop fighting! we all love horses! and we love what we do, barrel racing or jumping! stop fighting!!! i barrel race and i jump a little! i love it both! all that i care is that i love my horses, I LOVE RIDING THEM! dosent matter what saddle im riding in, english OR western! I LOVE MY HORSE! STOP FIGHTING! you all are stupped!

  • k all of u guys who are fighting i LOVE to barrel race and i LOVE to jump so wat maybe u think one is bettter than the other but u need to stop y do u fight about things like that i mean does it matter if barrel racing is better or if jumping is better maybe racing is better then both to some people so just stop i will help u stop this fight kendywylieracer2

  • yea, barrel racers and jumpers really NEED to stop fighting there is NO point!

  • no i dont but i just got a horse that i have to use spurs on.

  • Thats my horse The black one with the question mark srtipe!! (seconds 54-56) JUMPERS, BARREL RACERS STOP FIGHTING!!! WE ALL LOVE HORSES RIGHT??

    SO IF WE DO WHY DO WE TRY TO DOWN EACH OTHER?? FOR SOME PEROPLE JUMPING IS THEIR PASSION . OTHER ITS BARREL RACING . I PREFER BARREL RACING AND POLE BENDING I HAVE BEEN DOING IT FOR 7 YEARS . I HAVE DONE BOTH BARREL RACING AND JUMPING! THEY ARE BOTH FUN ! JUST GET ALONG PEOPLE ! have fun with your horses! Good luck in your horse career! Go cowgirls!

  • Is Barrel racing scary?

  • it can be..but usually not

  • why are barrel racers and jumpers always fighting my best friends are jumpers NO jk and ima true to god dead set whole hearted barrel racer and we always have fun!!!! its kinda rude on both sides and horse world to down each other whats the big deal 2 all my fellow barrel racers dont try to be bigger just let them down them selfs!!!!

    and to the jumpers stop saying stuff you dont about i love both sports it take alot of same things. so just love your own horses and stop with nagging!!!!

  • niiice video..i love to barrel race but rodeo in general its just the feel to b on horse back its auh mazaing everyone at my school makes fun of me for riding horses but its just whatever they haven't ever had the feel to b on horse back

  • Sweet. :]

    My Two Favorite Things;;

    Barrels && Fall 0ut Boy.

    :]

  • i love it

    barelraceing is my life

    and not every one uses spurs i know i dont.

  • Nice... So do u like spurs??? I don't...

  • very good i luv barrel racing and Fall Out Boy

  • i love this vidoe!!! i am having a Barrel Racing contest!!! =O i need entreys!!!! =]

  • I agree, barrel racing is the best sport ever! I have finally gotten my 6yr old into it!

  • awesome! I love barrel raing its the tottaly best sport... ever!

  • barrel racing and jumping are 2 different styles ..... jumping is english barrel racing is western big diffff duuhhh....... and either r abuse. just cause some1 hits a horse a with a crop doesnt mean it abuse it doesnt even hurt horse are extremly tough creatures. and if u knew anything about horse u would know that stupid ppl

  • Ok everyone who is fighting over which is better between jumping and barrels are immature. I do both. My horse is a 19 year old, ex racer, ex 3 day eventing champion, Canadian Thoroughbred gelding and guess what we jump and run barrels. We are just starting barrels but he was previously trained for it. If we can do it so can everyone else. I love both. You don't HAVE to choose one over the other. Geez grow up people! Both are hard to do.

  • Exactly! Me and my 15 year old Arabian mare do barrels and 3 ft. jumps and I have NEVER abused her! Not everyone who does jumping or barrel racing abuses their horses. It totally depends on the person.

  • Awesome video! Awesome song! <3 i luv BARREL RACING!

  • also everybody show jumping or barrel racing is abuse unless the horse doesnt want to do it. so every body need to SHUT UP!!!

  • people that think jumpers r little preps or bitches rnot jumping is just as hard as barrel racing and a few fences u have to no when and 6 ft is hard. plus both r dangoures if u make 1 wrong move in barrel racing u r screwed same as jumping. i do both with my horse that does both & i am not stuck up. plus i think people that thinkother types of riders r snobs or bitches i think that those r the type of people that need to grow up big time. and falling of hurts the same for all riders.

  • kewl video... and i like all of the picture's..

    keep it up .

    keep up w. your awesome videos

  • everybody who says jumping isn't abuse is wrong because i've seen plenty of horses die because there rider makes the wrong move so yeah jumping is more dangerous but then again so is barrel racing but i barrel race so i have to agree with everybody that jumping is worse!!!

  • I definitly agree with you. Jumping is horribly dangerous and I've seen many abusive jumpers. I'll never put a horse through jumping, I've done it before and wish I hadn't.

    Western all the way, here's to not abusing our horses!

  • I ride my horse both as I said before. If my horse didn't like jumping he wouldn't do it, if it hurt him he wouldn't do it. I can't force my 1150lb TB gelding to do anything he doesn't want to do, he can easily overpower me. I know he enjoys it because guess what he jumps out of the arena on his own when we are free lunging and the arena fence is 4'6" at least. He loves it and will continue to do what he loves until he no longer wants to and then he will tell me and I will stop. It isn't abuse.

  • Any time a 1150 pound animal jumps and lands on his two front legs, legs that have tiny joints in comparison to the rest of its body, it damages cartilage in the joint. You don't have to be an abusive rider and your horse doesn't have to not like it for it to be dangerous...

  • But running your horse full speed at a barrel and then having them slam on the brakes to pivot around the barrel then shove off towards the next one isn't hard on them...Anything a horse does is hard on it, my horse is 20 years old, he has been jumping since he was 4, up to 5 feet cross country and he is perfectly fine, never been lame in his legs. I just don't think that it can be called abuse because it is dangerous. Everything you do in life is dangerous, everything.

  • A good barrel horse collects before a barrel, they don't slam on the brakes. There's a thing called "checking" in barrel racing, which readies them for the turn. And as far as the horse pivoting and shoving off, what would a horse do if it needed to run from a predator? Pivot away from the predator and shove off to run away...

  • Ok bringing up predetors, in the wild in the forest where trees do fall quite often what would a horse do if it was being chased and came to a fallen tree...jump it, imagine that. Everything we humans do with horses IS HARD ON THEM. Considering they were wild before we got ahold of them, they were never meant to be used like we use them but if they were in pain or didn't want to do it they wouldn't.

  • Unless we're talking Redwoods, the logs would not be as tall as some of these rediculous jumps the horses are asked to jump. They also wouldn't be jumping as much. It's like 4x4Girl said, it's more about the person riding than the sport being done. As long as you're properly maintaining your horse for what its doing than it should be okay.

  • Why do barrel racers and jumpers always fight? It's so annoying! I know people who jump and do barrels! They get along fine! I even know a few people who do both! Both are great sports! Why can't we agree on that?

  • barrel racing is ten time harder then show jumping all you little stuck up bitches need to try it before you say witch is harder cuz trying to get a uncontrollable horse galloping full speed around three barrels is way harder then cantering your horse over a few jumps i know cuz iv done both and i know me and my quarter horse could run circles around you snobs and you fancy little ponies

  • Eat it you frill-wearing show jumpers. If you don't like to barrel race, go off to some Pony Club and have your fun. In exchange, us REAL and TRUE horsewomen, or cowgirls, will be at a rodeo having fun getting dirty!If we're gonna at least attempt to get along, we'll have to set boundaries. :3

  • You couldn't be more right! lol

  • lol thank you someone needed to say that

  • All you jumpers have no idea what pain is... sometimes! And most of us cowgirls don't know what dressing like a preppy bitch or make-up or the feel of a jumping horse is either... we're all diffrent! Get over it, you complanitive bitches! If you were a true horsewoman, you'd know! Just shut you're yap and don't be a jerk! She even says in the description that all forms of riding are great... but BARREL RACING IS THE BBEESSTT! EAT MY DUST! >:D

  • Woah, i totally agree with you! :D

  • Good to know! Most people start bitching at me after I say that. XD

  • Are you serious? Yeah barrel racing is abuse and jumping and crap like that isn't?! Compare how many horses and riders died barrel racing then the ones who died jumping!

  • if ppl thing your abuseing horses by barrel reacing they can go f$*k off because they have never reden a barrel horse to know how much they love it and how much they want to do it !!! So if ppl think its abuse to horses to barrel race them go find a rock to hide under because barrel raceing is in our blood and and our horses blood and if u don't like that go fuck off!!!!!!

  • nevermind i dont agree cause its really not abuse they are born for barrel racing its in there blood

  • i agree with everyone who says barrel racing is abuse CAUSE IT IS!!!!!!!

  • If you hate them then get the fuck off this video!

  • well i have seen barns worth around ! million dollars that are barrel racing barns and i have seen jumping barns that dont cost close to a million dollars does it really matter? i mean money isnt everything the horse and your passion count but u dont have to fight about it god it doesnt matter

  • For all you idiots out there that say barrel racing is "abuse" have you ever ridden a barrel horse? These horses love what they do and are trained to do it. My horse(who can run under 17 seconds without a fuss) and most barrel horses i know can run the pattern without a rider or without reins. If you want to say that rodeo and barrel racing is abuse, go hard, but if you really want to know what it's about grow a pair, get off your pedistal and go try to run in under 16 seconds.

  • this is fenderbender10's sister saying i love horse back riding to death to and i race up my oil pipe hill which is about 50 yards and it's very steep and we gallop up it and i love to gallop and i learned to gallop 3 weeks ago

  • Ohhh Yeah! Thats what im talking bout! lolz. LOVE YOU LOLO!

  • at 56 seconds thats my horse!!!!! his name is Docs Classical Dude!!! luv u dde!

  • wow this is a really cool video, I am not really a barrel racer yet, but after 8 years of riding hunters, I bought a 3 year old filly. And with some help (or a lot) I am training her barrels and she loves it. It makes me so happy to actually watch people doing it :)

  • AWSOME VIDEO !!! it makes me proud that i am a barrel racer!!!!

  • HEY i LOVE ur video it is SOOOOO goood!!! man i hate those people that say its abuse..GRRRR i hate it i wish they wouldn't disturb us ey? yer. and it aint abuse the horses actually LOVE to run ey! well keep up the gud videos ! <3

  • cool

  • hardcore, barrel racing & fob!

  • barrel racing is a hobby or a passion....it's a way of life=]

  • omg i luv barrel racing !! it is my passion and takes up all of my freakin time yah !! but its tottlay worthit

  • then y r u watching this...

  • just fr the song ....

  • well just go watch the music video for the song

  • Haha you hate them because they are so pretty. And powerful, So you cant ride them.

  • Actually, horses smell wonderful but if the place they are kept in smells bad, they smell bad. If you've ever been to a fancy barn notice how it doesnt smell? Hmmm...

  • Hmm why would you go to a smelly barn? And that question proved exactly why you should not become an equestrian. You're either born with it or you're not. And you aren't worthy of sitting on such a beautiful animal with your ugly fat ass. And actually horses are EXTREMELY intelligent, way more than you are.

  • Hahaha. Have you seen any of my riding videos? Ohh yes 5'4 and 103 lbs. I need to go on a diet fo sho.

  • Umm I can't understand idiot...sorry.

    And barrel racing is 1000x better than hockey evre will be. mkay? Byee!

  • Ahahah, You wish. Because any equestrian will know that it takes more physical ability than any other sport, much less ice skating and hitting a puck around. lmao.

  • Yeah you dont deserve to sit on a horse LOL.
