@ashleyekw AppaDaisy96 is a true barrel racer! Unlike you, all you do is spend 9,000 on a 1D barrel horse so you can win! Unlike her she has worked for everything she has gotten!! Not everyone is rich! Have you seen Sherry Cervi, she is one hell of a barrel racer and she deserves all the credit for making it as far as she has!!!
@ashleyekw Wow, your low. I hope you feel accomplished paying $9,000 for a horse.. when you could have payed less for a better horse? and your FAMILY got it, not YOU. They paid for it. What else.. Bloodlines don't matter.. and did you see the part where i said THREE year old already running solid 3D's. Even if i go to the NFR, why would i use the horse i rode as a teenager???
haha i got a horse for free that was trained for reining and damn he was fast (haha hes now 32) but if i couldnt have used a whip or spurs like that XD hell if anyone even kicked him you were and the ground and he was running you down trying to stop ya into the dirt XD my aunt broke her hip in an attempt to ride him :/ and he was just as fast as these horses and twice as responsive in a hackamore and just voice commands, i dont see why their whiping them like that :(
i wish they would use less whip and spur, my mare is an amazing barrel racer and ive never used a whip or set of spurs on her and she runs just as fast as these horses.
@astreaker Lol. Thanks. I've worked for everything I have, and I thank my parents a WHOLE bunch for not just handing everything to meh:D Those snotty stuck up girls are gonna have a reality check when their parents go bank rupt or pass on..
These girls aren't good it's the 60,000 dollar + Horses their mommys and daddys buy for themm. I'm proud to say i have a 200 dollar 3 year old that i trained by myself and already runs solid 3D. CHeck out my channel.
@AppaDaisy96 ohh please i high school rodeoed with these girls and they can ride very well so you have no room to judge them you dont even know them or there horses!! just because you are jealous doesnt give you the right to hate on them!!
@smm1121 Why would I be jealous? Just saying. I'm not gonna get into an argument like alot of the people on here. But don't say I have no room to talk or judge when you're sitting here judging me when you don't even know me. See what i'm saying. Can you say hypocrit? I think so. and I'm not saying all of them are snotty and stuck up or that they get everything handed to them.. because no, not all of them are like that. MOST of them are though.
@AppaDaisy96 Im not judging you cupcake but from your videos on your page your horses throws his head in the air when ya ask him to turn and swats its tail the whole time....if my horse was like that id be jealous of these girls too. And no, most of them arent like that. So just keep your ignorant little comment to yourself please :D thank you! When your horse runs as nice as there horses do, then MAYBE you can talk shit.
@smm1121 Hmm, my horse is 3 and a half in those videos, and its her first competing year. I trained her by myself, so until you train a horse, and know what its like, then maybe you can judge me and make assumptions later on? Honestly, this was the last thing i wanted was confrontation. Her throwing her head was a stage she went through and she doesn't do it anymore.so plz explain why i've won $600+ on her and 2 belt buckles(High Pt) with in a year?? And atleast i hav the guts to go out there on
@AppaDaisy96 Idk obviously by some divine miracle... lol well i dont train my horses to throw their nose in the air and ring their tails thats for sure. blaming it on a "stage" is just a poor excuse for bad training. Ya know what? you were the one who got on here FIRST and wanted to start talkin shit on girls i PERSONALLY KNOW! So if you dont want confrontation and cant handle it being thrown back at you GET OUT! You obviously shouldnt have said shit in the first place then.
@smm1121 and i forgot to mention $1,000 dollar scholarship.. and i didn't train her to throw her nose, i refuse to put a tie-down on her. and i know you don't train your horses.... you buy them for $9,000 dollars already trained... There's a difference. SO don't bash me for bad training, when you don't even train your own horses..
@AppaDaisy96 Lol okay sweetheart, i didnt say i didnt train my own horses, you are just coming up with thoughs dillusions in your tiny lil head. im a broke college student and def dont have that kind of money to spend on a horse, however i do know what a good horse looks like, and i dont judge people who do because if i had the money i would spend it on a horse. doesnt make me any less of a rider or trainer. and I WILL bash you for bad training if your horses are trained bad. end of story.
@AppaDaisy96 Same here! Only...different age ha. My horse that I bought for 400 was an ex speed horse...but when I bought him, I had no intention of speed eventing. I just planned to slow him down for trails. But then, when I realized that he just loved to run, I started eventing!
@AppaDaisy96 Exactly. I can run HSR if I wanted, but we don't have the finance. I trained my horse who runs 2D and 3D. and 2D in poles. I'm proud to say she is my baby, and the horse I trained to run barrels and poles myself :)
@FastestBarrelRacer00 Girls like us are awesome(: I hope you can do HSR, and i'm just a freshman this year, so i'm gonna do it next year because my new horse should be ready for competitive barrel racing next year.. I hope you countinue to do well.
@FastestBarrelRacer00 There's this website that you can apply for sponsers, or talk to local feed stores and tack shops. Ask them to pay your entry fees, and in return you'll wear a shirt that has there company, and or fly flags with their companies, and stuff like that. My cousin got in good with Steinhausers and Safe Choice, and a local feed store, and she hasn't had to pay an entry fee in years.
@AppaDaisy96 Yeah, The steinhausers here only pays 1/3 of all fees. I might use that website but for highschool rodeo we have to wear longsleeve buttonup collared shirts, a hat, long jeans, and western boots. I'd probably end up putting their logo on my trailer or on a flag.
@AppaDaisy96 I agree!! My Parents bought me my Palomino AQHA Gelding for $2,000, but that was only because I was a freshman in high school and had no money :D I now pay for everything. I had to retrain hi because he had gone green, and he is now the high point youth horse at my local show grounds :] Plus I don't beat the living hell out of my horse to get it to run faster ;)
lol, great runs.. but alll these horses are huge, i personally prefer my barrel horses little and long, helps em' whip around the barrels and have a good stride.. my barrel horse is only 14.3 HH at the most, and wins almost every show we go too
How about we keep our opinions to ourselves, instead of posting silly 'I know more about horses than you' fights. Honestly, it's annoying. These girls are good at what they do and chose these techniques themselves (remember, free will?) So how about you leave them alone and go take care of YOUR horses any way you wish, and leave these girls alone. Okay? Thanks
Barrel racing is da bomb!!! :) I love it!! Both my horses do to. When I actually run my barrel horse full tilt, I dont even need to kick her, she puts her head down and runs. lol
Why oh why does it always have to be a debate? If it's a mutual love of the sport between the rider and the horse, I don't see the issue. Bumper spurs don't TEAR anything. They bump. Hence the name... bumper... spurs. As far as whips, I can't say I'm a huge fan, but I've had horses that occasionally needed that extra push. *shrugs* It's not my go-to, but as a resort, it works. For racing, however, if a horse ever needed the whip I knew they didn't need to race.
and their horses love their job, these girls wound'tt be winning or running this fast if their horse's heart wasnt into it... trust me.. I've seen the Ugly side of rodeo, but this quality barrel racing takes a horse that wants to and barely needs a push! I'm not talking about an angry person's tired barrel horse, that for one is not okay... If you don't beleive me, look at vids like ``Automatic pole horse``
That was good i love barrel racing and it's my life but I don't see why people have to use whips and beat on their horses when the run back...so i could see like once or twice just to remind the horse but really some of those people just smack their horses all the way home and I feel like the horses are trying to run as fast as they can anyways....sorry but that's my opinion
@Karkar482215 me too!! :) Im going barrel racing tommorrow. My first barrel race since August. Hopefully we do well and if we are lucky bring home some cash! :)
Annnnnd BTW, if your go on a full fleged barrel race, and your horse decides to just freak, hesitate their turn or break their speed out of nowhere, that can seriously injure you and your horse by tripping. You'd be glad to have a whip just to tell them to keep their focus a little... not all horses need one, most don't .. but aspecially when youre starting to take serious speed, you'd better have one just in case.
what dyou think hurts more on a horses thick, strong skin ppl? kicking hard in their ribs with bumper spurs or the little pinch of a whip??.... get real. Reality is, if you knew something about barrel racing, you'd also know that at the speed you go, most times your whip dosent reach the horse, let alone the saddle... its a signal, sometimes a lil push in the butt for the horse
@missuandmeee A horse has skin so sensitive that it can tell when a fly lands on it. Whips hurt, that's why riders use them, to get the attention of the horse. Spurs are just as cruel, they destroy the cartilage around the rib bones. Feel free to have opinions but at least base them on substantiated facts
@kilbraur A good Barrel racer wont WHIP their horse, they'll brush the whip by its sides... the horses dont need whipping, they learned it stung when they were younger.. and as I said, most times the whip dosent even reach the saddle.. and as for spurs my dear, you dont barrrel race with SPURS, you use something called bumpers or bumper spurs ( if you dont know what it is, google it!)
@missuandmeee see my comments above. POW spurs, bumper spurs, Chilean spurs etc. The commonly accepted abreviation is just to use the word spurs. Resorting to pedantics will not win you any arguments.
@kilbraur I train many barrel horses and never have I had to whip them like hell OR kick them... these things are AIDS..If you watch closely, most of these chicks are kicking into thin air , they are doing the MOTION to tell their horse what they want and they are just trhowing their hands by their sides....I in no mean wantt to insult or disrespect you, but seriously, please know what you are talking about when it comes to barrel raccing techniques, these are professionals
@missuandmeee I do not doubt that you may never have had to, but you are not featured in the video and I was not responding to , nor discussing your riding techniques. As for knowing what I am talking about I have caseloads of pictures, videos and reports, in my practice as a vet, all of which suggest that you may be the one who does not know what they are talking about.
ha i cant read all these comments but im just saying you can hit a horse with a whip to go faster it does them no harm theres no need to go get another horse if your horse does good with a whip or spurs good for you!!!!(NOT SARCASTIC) my horse is the bomb shes in shape and pretty fast but 2 get her to open up you have to whip her if you try and kick her hard it makes her mad so kick normal and whip hard but some horses arent like that
@dg506 Yeah.. First off. They said nothing about Everything being bigger in Texas.. Second off. Thats why the majority of All Professional Barrel Racers are from Texas. Because Texas IS bettter. Soo yeah just face the fact.
That paint is stunning! Def. my fav. But for anyone who thinks the horses are getting "abused' come visit a ranch or stable. These horses are not just pets, they are ATHLETES! If they were not treated well they would not perform well. Everything we do as equestrians (english or western) is based completely off how our HORSES PERFORM. So they eat the most nutritional foods, have diet and excercise plans, and get regular check ups, just like human athletes. Now what about that sounds like abuse?
i barrel race but not this fast!im just starting but my horse has done it in the past! i dont use a whip on my horse but if i do it only whip her when im heading home, it just gets them to go fast is all.their skin is extremly tough and were just reminding them to put it in full gear! besides the girl u say is 'whipping her horse 2 much' well she might just have a horse that was lazy or didnt want to go and she had to whip him to get him to go. u never know the case so dont get mad!
@cowgirlslovetogallop if her horse is too lazy, or didnt want to go, she needs to get another. whipping just distracts them. if your horse isnt fast enough with out a whip or spur, get a differant horse.
I love barrel racing and i love jumping.. i dont want to choose sides buit please dont talk about english rriders the 1 time i barrel raced was on an english horse in an english saddle and i got 19 seconds so please dont complain
I ride showjumping we use whip as well there is a difference from a few seconds like they do in the video and to beat the shit out of the horse i dont even think the horse feel the whip when the adrenalin is pumping like a maniac...
What about racehorses have you ever seen a race?? Now That is using a whip and that is perfectly legal. stop being so freaking over protective.. These girls/boys love there horses..
Love these Barrel Racing videos looks like so much fun :)
the first ones bout as fast as my horse :) but we have a small arena at the ranch and its not big enough to run her full speed through the pattern :( well, i kinda can comin off the third barrel, but usually if i wanna run her i gotta ridin the pature lol. shes the kinda horse that gets exited and wants 2 run barrels all day and just give her her head n she makes her way to the barrel set up and runs the pattern w/ no direction :) and when shes done she'll start all over again lol
@alicorenee You don't understand. I know moving the skin around is a reflex (just like laughing), but the horse is sensitive enough to FEEL the fly, than why should wipping them that hard and much feel like a tap? I just think that they shouldn't hit their horses that much, you can also give a litle pat. Or use your voice to encourage the horse.
@alicorenee the fact that you are getting al agitated means that you are insecure. Of course i've seen a whip, but I don't like to use it. maybe I should whip you and you can tell me if it feels like a tap :-)
@saminiky it feel different to a horse! and no, its not the kind of whip that has a long tail and will crack when you flick it! its a stick with fabric on it
@alicorenee I know what a whip is. Look @ 0:30 and tell me the girl isn't using her whip to much. She is already whacking her legs in the belly and then she keeps on hiting the horse even when its already running like crazy. very animal friendly, I must say
@swiftpaint2000 there is a difference from beating them with a wooden board and cropping them with a stick with folded fabric at the end there skin is sensitive but they also have alot of muscles on there butt so it dosnt hurt
I will admit a lot of barrel racers and barrel horses aren't trained properly these days. It's unfortunate but I can't stand those idiots who bash all of us just by a couple of runs on youtube. I thought these were some nice runs myself. Sure there was mistakes but you can look at any person riding and point out a mistake Its only human.
I agree with BarrelBaba. Some of these riders were pretty sloppy and all over the place. not to be rude or anything, but with all due respect i can do better then all 5 of them on my 13.3 barrel horse. just saying. those horses didnt look to happy
WoW well I think the speed was Great but I noticed a few flaws in each of the riders turns. but I wont down a rider these girls and thier horses are amazing! :)
@spartan117sj A 3ft jump is like 90cm, that's nothing for a horse! When a horse jumps all the weight lands on his forelimbs. With barrel racing its diffrent, they twist their hindlimbs. Twisting is more worse than an impact. But I agree, jumping isn't good if it's very high, but barrel racing isn't good eighter...
@saminiky Hmm...its obvious you have never done nor watched barrel racing closly. If you would have, then you would clearly see the movement of their limbs. The horses take little 'steps' in the corners to prevent them from twisting. The only twisting that happens is their head and neck towards the next barrel ;)
I agree!!! I use to think it was boring to watch! until I started riding Western and learning to lope.. omg I fell in love! I really want to learn barrel racing to really get the speed and fun of western riding!
@samanthasmith69 I'm sure I wouldn't be as good at it as someone who's been doing it for years. In return, I'd also like to see you ride a 3' course on a hot OTTB with tight turns and a timer going. We all have our skill sets, things we're good at. Doesn't make us better than an entire other discipline of riders.
i happen to ride western as well as english, and i happen to have a 4.0 and has actually one a trophy in school for being a great person so i wouldn't be going around calling people you don't know names. also i am champion in both so if you go around saying that, it shows your not a true equestrian.
People who comment on other peoples videos, trying to tell them what they did wrong and the right way to do it should really get a life, because if you think you know it all, make a video of you doing it and lets see how many things you do you wrong. But people who dont know what there talking about should really shut up and not try and tell people who do know what theyre talking about theyre doing it worng, Its not 4H rules its a competiontion the horse would buck if they used the whip to much
Beating your horse? Hah thats not beating them whiping them is just to make them move forward. If it was abusive in any way the would be disqualified.
thats not true. I ride both english and western. my horse and i hav done jumping, western pleasure, dressage, AND barrel racing. He is amazing at all of it. none of it is abuse unless u hav an idiotic rider that beats the shit out of their horses. any1 can say that any type of riding is abusive, that doesnt mean that it is. ur just one of thoses ppl that has a stick up their azz and is 2 arogant 2 believe anything. u probably hav nvr even tried english. retard.
Most of the time its not the person riding the horse it's just the horse... If you have ever ridin a FULLY broke barrel horse you would understand that they are CRAZY PHSYCO like not even kidding.. I've seen some really scary things happen that make you wanna quit riding.. But its not because the person's inexperienced its just the horse gets sooooo excited...
no no I understand exactly what you're talking about lol.. But some are trained properly but just get excited from only doing barrels all the time haha..
awsome runs and riders, but i dont think they need to beat there asses all the way home! i dont beat my horse with the over n under he just knows his job! and if he needs a little boost i just give him a little push with the spurs, relax with the over and under girls or you will burn your horse out faster
Hell ya!! Kansas does have some pretty good barrel racers! im just startin out me an my horse are hopefully goin to a competition soon just workin on speed now lol and i guess theres gonna be lots of competition based on this video lol :)
That's for DANG sure!! lol.. I am also from Kansas and have been barrel racing for a little while now.. And I am starting to do more of the NBHA and C4D stuff other than the KHSRA or HYRA but yea totally Kansas riders are LEGIT!! lol :)
great vid! i was wondering if i could use some of these clips in one of my videos? i will give you credit?

That was good i love barrel racing and it's my life but I don't see why people have to use whips and beat on their horses when the run back...so i could see like once or twice just to remind the horse but really some of those people just smack their horses all the way home and I feel like the horses are trying to run as fast as they can anyways....sorry but that's my opinion

Annnnnd BTW, if your go on a full fleged barrel race, and your horse decides to just freak, hesitate their turn or break their speed out of nowhere, that can seriously injure you and your horse by tripping. You'd be glad to have a whip just to tell them to keep their focus a little... not all horses need one, most don't .. but aspecially when youre starting to take serious speed, you'd better have one just in case.
missuandmeee 1 year ago
what dyou think hurts more on a horses thick, strong skin ppl? kicking hard in their ribs with bumper spurs or the little pinch of a whip??.... get real. Reality is, if you knew something about barrel racing, you'd also know that at the speed you go, most times your whip dosent reach the horse, let alone the saddle... its a signal, sometimes a lil push in the butt for the horse
missuandmeee 1 year ago
@missuandmeee A horse has skin so sensitive that it can tell when a fly lands on it. Whips hurt, that's why riders use them, to get the attention of the horse. Spurs are just as cruel, they destroy the cartilage around the rib bones. Feel free to have opinions but at least base them on substantiated facts
kilbraur 10 months ago
@kilbraur A good Barrel racer wont WHIP their horse, they'll brush the whip by its sides... the horses dont need whipping, they learned it stung when they were younger.. and as I said, most times the whip dosent even reach the saddle.. and as for spurs my dear, you dont barrrel race with SPURS, you use something called bumpers or bumper spurs ( if you dont know what it is, google it!)
missuandmeee 10 months ago
@missuandmeee see my comments above. POW spurs, bumper spurs, Chilean spurs etc. The commonly accepted abreviation is just to use the word spurs. Resorting to pedantics will not win you any arguments.

@kilbraur I train many barrel horses and never have I had to whip them like hell OR kick them... these things are AIDS..If you watch closely, most of these chicks are kicking into thin air , they are doing the MOTION to tell their horse what they want and they are just trhowing their hands by their sides....I in no mean wantt to insult or disrespect you, but seriously, please know what you are talking about when it comes to barrel raccing techniques, these are professionals

That paint is stunning! Def. my fav. But for anyone who thinks the horses are getting "abused' come visit a ranch or stable. These horses are not just pets, they are ATHLETES! If they were not treated well they would not perform well. Everything we do as equestrians (english or western) is based completely off how our HORSES PERFORM. So they eat the most nutritional foods, have diet and excercise plans, and get regular check ups, just like human athletes. Now what about that sounds like abuse?

i barrel race but not this fast!im just starting but my horse has done it in the past! i dont use a whip on my horse but if i do it only whip her when im heading home, it just gets them to go fast is all.their skin is extremly tough and were just reminding them to put it in full gear! besides the girl u say is 'whipping her horse 2 much' well she might just have a horse that was lazy or didnt want to go and she had to whip him to get him to go. u never know the case so dont get mad!

@cowgirlslovetogallop if her horse is too lazy, or didnt want to go, she needs to get another. whipping just distracts them. if your horse isnt fast enough with out a whip or spur, get a differant horse.

alicorenee 1 year ago
@alicorenee You don't understand. I know moving the skin around is a reflex (just like laughing), but the horse is sensitive enough to FEEL the fly, than why should wipping them that hard and much feel like a tap? I just think that they shouldn't hit their horses that much, you can also give a litle pat. Or use your voice to encourage the horse.

I will admit a lot of barrel racers and barrel horses aren't trained properly these days. It's unfortunate but I can't stand those idiots who bash all of us just by a couple of runs on youtube. I thought these were some nice runs myself. Sure there was mistakes but you can look at any person riding and point out a mistake Its only human.

@samanthasmith69 English riders won't try riding like this, because it's very bad for the horse his legs when you turn as short as that.
saminiky 1 year ago
@saminiky Can't be any worse for their legs when they land on them after a 3ft jump ;)
spartan117sj 1 year ago
@spartan117sj A 3ft jump is like 90cm, that's nothing for a horse! When a horse jumps all the weight lands on his forelimbs. With barrel racing its diffrent, they twist their hindlimbs. Twisting is more worse than an impact. But I agree, jumping isn't good if it's very high, but barrel racing isn't good eighter...
saminiky 1 year ago
@saminiky Hmm...its obvious you have never done nor watched barrel racing closly. If you would have, then you would clearly see the movement of their limbs. The horses take little 'steps' in the corners to prevent them from twisting. The only twisting that happens is their head and neck towards the next barrel ;)
