  • I love big horses like that :) esp. when they barrel race. its like elephants doing ballet xD

  • Please post on my wall if u can help or have any ideas! Thanks sooo! much! Big Fan!!

  • 2/2 he does is looks around like he's about to be eatin!!!! And when i'm kicking him to go he DOESNT! And then when i'm not, he BOLTS! X( I am kinda scared of him and WAS thinking of trading him for a different horse, but i've started using spurs on him and he's running better. BUTTTT! I still dont know what to do about how scared/freaked out/being a butt when he gets in the arena, can u help me?

  • 1/2 Hey trickridingangel (Ashley) i have a new barrel horse, Foxtrotter/Quarter and he's doing GREAT on barrels! I've done slow work with him, and now he's cantering barrels great (a little wide on first barrel but he's doing good about it, AND he's trying) but when i take him to a barrel race (he's only been to one sofar) he totally freaks when we get in the arena!!!! I kick, i whip,i slap him on the neck, i try EVERYTHING to get him to even egnollige me but all (to be continued)

  • Beautiful horse. She looks so smooth and calm. I'm learning to ride right now but I'm definitely interested in barrel racing in the future. My mom's paint is trained for it. :) So I'm researching videos and any tips I can find to train myself and learn more about it.

  • first turn was awesome :) beautiful horse

  • this is AMAZING!!! only 3 weeks!?!? she has those bends down like a pro! i'd say u could even show her in it within another week! (but that's just my opinion :) im not the one riding her, so it's up 2 u!)

  • beautiful horse! she must be a fast learner to be doing that good for only three weeks! && cute dogs! lol

  • i cannot wait to get my paint!!!!!!

  • @XxRisingVelocityxX DUDE! I wanna ride her no jk lol

  • Wow she's a natural! Good job riding and beautiful horse!

  • 16 hh is a bit tall to be doing barrels

  • I got another gelding today and i want to barrle race him.

  • good job!!

  • nice mare, rocking chair lope that i love =) you ride her very well, and your border collies at the gate~ they are so cute! love border collies =D

    nice job!

  • aww she's pretty

  • shes a big horse how many hands?

  • 16hh

  • I have a paint horse and he is also 16hh

  • @trickridingangel she is to big for barrels

  • @MsKenzie999 she's NOT to big for barrels watch some other vids of her BEETING Jazz 9one of her prized mares) in a barrel race!

  • @barrelracer888 hahahahahahah

  • Wow!  Looks like she has a nice easy lope at the beginning there!

  • wow.

    for 3 weeks of training she's getting around that first barrel well.

    I still have problems with my one horse daiwa.

    he CONSTANTLY does a wide turn around that first one, and the second and last one he does fine. and i've been working with him on it for about 7 months now, and we still don't run the pattern fully.

    Any suggestions to get him turning tighter?

  • well whut i do when they blow barrels i go up to the barrel as fast as they want and i do a quick turn over their hocks as if i turned the barrel but really u dont turn it u just do a sharp turn. i will message u a video of me doing such

  • mkay. Thank You!

  • i dont have any videos up i no lol but i do barrel race and i train my horses but when u go to the barrel and they dont turn good stop the horse and go around the barrel again about 3 times..also lope trot or whatever to all 3 barrels and stop before you turn and ask your horse to move over before turning it then make them go right beside it coming out..trust me it works!!!

  • Shes a big girl. =] Shes beautiful..looks like my guy when he goes round barrles i love it =]

    Good luck with her

  • shes a beautiful paint mare. i like her name too. i love paints! come watch my barrel racing video.

  • Shes soo pretty.

  • beautiful mare! how tall is she?

  • thanks :) she's 16hh

  • @trickridingangel i ride a paint that is 16.3 hands no joke :)

  • She looks like she's got a good start on it, pretty mare. :) I do wanna say I liked how you trotted her around the last barrel and broke to a walk, helps to heep the horse level headed when gaming. My horse can do it all and with a calm mind from practicing things like that :) good work!!

  • she looks so much like my Tio Rose <3

    if she had more white pple would think it was her lol

  • wow big beautiful horse!! your gonna be a great rider!:) my horse is 16hh and big too and im gonna teach him to run barrels too:) he was a race horse for a long time and i just bought him:P

  • she is one biiiigggg horse

  • gorgeous mare! She looks like a real sweetie.  Where's your helmet?

  • wow shes doin good w/ only 3 weeks! good luck. by any chance hav u considered putting boots on her front legs? not just her back ones?

  • and second, after she does one run perfect, quit her and walk her through. i have a big boned paint gelding. and if i make more than one medium run then he trips too. if you need to school her then i would just trot or walk her through:)

  • man shes huge! two tips if you dont mind me saying so . . . when you slow lope make sure in between the first and second barrel you drop to a lope and pick up the left lead. if you dont you can teach her a bad habit of crossfiring which can make her sore in the hips and pelvis. but when you speed up shes fine cause its more natural.

  • how do you switch leads? I'm trying to start/ finish a horse in barrels and I need to know all i can. Please help me if you don't mind

  • the west way to reign on a barrel racing horse is to have your reigns crosed like a x

    holding on with both hand then slide your hand down to pull around the barrel

    it is a whole lot eaiser if your horse neck reigns!

  • Actually, you never wanna pull your horse "down and around the barrel" thats how horse slip and fall, you want your inside rein up to lift their shoulder around the barrel, it makes a world of difference. :)

  • I don't know about that... I believe its better to teach the horse to commit by dropping their shoulder, makes for a more evenly balanced turn and helps them keep more of their initial momentum.

    Besides, generally I think horses fall when the rider is trying to pull the horse through the turn rather than the horse committing on its own. If a horse is taught the turn, it'll keep its feet, unless the ground is less than it should be, lol ^_^

  • Every pro barrel racer or trainers has told me never let them drop their shoulder, tis bad!

  • *shrug* It's a matter of method. Yeah... it's bad if a horse anticipates and drops too soon, but when you actually look at it, a horse needs to drop the shoulder to brace through the turn, and the flatter they stay, the less vertical movement and the more freely they'll move. A horse that runs flat and smooth, is better than one that runs high since a flat horse has a better opportunity to fully stretch out, where it can extend its neck and lower its head--when it can "lay down & run." ^_^ lol

  • Wow, she's really big and gorgeous!

  • She's gorgeous!

  • a bit slow............

  • only been doin it for 3 weeks

  • She is looking really good!

    Keep it up :D

  • She's lookin great Ash! She's huge, muscle and height. How tall is she? Gorgeous though :)

  • thanks :) she is 16 hh. i am hoping she will work but if not i can prob sell her to a peewee barrel racer. she might be a little TO stocky.

  • myy horse is 16 hands and he runs barrels perfect! she looks great!

  • Have you sold her? How much are you thinking of?

  • i dont know if i wanna sell her yet so i dunno $

  • little rusty on the third barrel, but she is doing so well!!! i think shes going to be a great barrel horse, she does a really good 1st barrel

  • She looks really good! I think you have something there!

  • she looks good ash!
