i bet that use to be a darn good barrel horse. (she needs to teach my horse to turn like her)

@1233Maya She is just a good all-around horse. She has been ridden western and English, was very good at hunter pleasure and arabian costume classes, and did some eventing with Pony Club. But barrel racing is something she had NOT done before she started gymkhana with this little girl! I love her flying changes, that young rider is not asking for those, they are being done by the mare.

@horsepaintings my horse was an english and light jumping show horse. he's good on trails and he is my barrel horse now but he doesnt turn like that. He is a good barrel horse for me tho cuz im a beginer barrel racer so i can't really handle that paceing thing and he is just like what ever, but people always under estimate him. they think he is a beginers horse... he likes to test people and if u ask him to run u better know what ur askin for cuz if u ask he gives it all :)
