NFR Barrel Racing 1st Round

[CHEVYedsf]

Wow that girl in the red shirt goes all out on the whipping huh. Its pretty sad that these girls cant get their horses to preform without using whips. I dont need a whip to get my gelding to run barrels. He absolutely loves em and goes all out anyway.

[3BarrelRacer]

@CHEVYedsf well maybe when your runnin in the NFR as one of the tope 15 barrel racers in the world w a 100K horse youll understand. Whipping only encourages the horse to continue pushing thru til the end and the horse barely gets tapped with it. going that speed the rider can barely tap the horse so it hardly feels it. Those are the most consistent horses in the barrel world so maybe when you get at their level you can talk.

[CHEVYedsf]

@3BarrelRacer I dont need to wait until I get to that level. I have no interest in perusing barrel racing outside of what I do locally. There is no excuse for whipping a horse to get it to run faster. If you can't get it to run its fastest without a whip, then you need to take a look at what YOU are doing wrong, not the horse.

[3BarrelRacer]

@CHEVYedsf ok well maybe you dont want to be at their level but they do and their the best who know what their doing and race for hundreds of thousands of dollars.whipping doesnt even hurt the horse, it looks like it would but half those whips have little peices of leather or feathers and the end of them which is what hits the horse. if it was abusive it wouldnt be allowed.and they dont need to look at what their doin cuz their obv. doin just fine runnin in the NFR.

[1233Maya]

Ha if i hit my barrel horse like that he'd play kool till the last barrel then he'd show he yet another peace to his crazy past... the Bucking Bronc part :P I wish i could go to that level some day but i think i might need a new horse :)

[mackandred]

HAHA, the girl's saddle at 2:30 is reallyyy small for her(: whatever works i guess ha

[1JonasLoveForever1]

You all might want to open your eyes and see, they are champions, all you idiots arn't. Yes those fast, graceful, and amazing horses look so abused dont they? REALLY?! Horses wouldn't move like that if they were upset or hurt.

[TalentUnspoken]

@1JonasLoveForever1 couldn't of put it better myself.

[XxHoofBeatxX]

i love barrel racing and i think each of these horses and riders are very talented i just dont like the whipping.

[Paquerette32]

C'est de la torture pour les chevaux.

@xxwildflamexx

I know your comment was from literally a year ago!

BUT thank you so much for posting that comment!

I have tried so hard to figure out why me & my horse have been hitting barrels a lot! Lol

& good thing is he's not getting hurt although I am (as usual) lol!

But I've tried out what you said & we are no longer hitting barrels! :D

Thanks again!

[countrygirl9519]

damn those horses are fast. I love everything about it

[missmorbid1912]

0:30 That horse looks just like my mare Livewire.♥

[Fitnurs2]

I'm a hunter/jumper and learning to barrel race so I can go for 'all around' at our World Show in a month...I'm gonna tell both sides that this is freakin' hard!!! I thought I could just go learn to turn and haul ass and that'd be it, wrong! I'm sure if you barrel girls wanted to learn the art of jumping it'd be the same way. My hat is off to you, however. I'm practicing hard, but I'm sure I'll fall flat on my face- none the less, I'm having a total BLAST learning and my horse is LOVING it!

[BarrelRacingChick797]

My mom and dad are going... Without me and my sister. -_-

[MsCowgirl4ever18]

I miss practicing barrel racin' but i'll get there someday :)

[live2ride6692]

these girls are talented. but money can always buy a really fast horse. i know not everyone is like that but i know a few girls whos daddys buy them some $50,000 horse and they barely ride them except for the barrel races. and then they win everything and the ones who actually ride their horses and work with them get nothing

[Arabbarrelracer]

Amazing riders!!

[krystanwright]

I agree, I use a whip and it doesn't abuse my horse. It just gives her a push. Some horses you dont have to use one on and some you do. And have you ever tried to control a hot headed barrel horse getting ready to run in an alley gate lexicharlene? My horse isn't pro like theres and she is very hard to hold back. When they know their job and they want to go do it, you cant really hold them back very well considering they are so much stronger than you could ever think about being.

[shelshel98]

Annesa Self, shes riding the buckskin horse, well her son TJ is my boyfriend.(: i know her so well.(:

[barrelstar1]

@shelshel98 oh m g no one cares an i doubt that

[horse558]

me and my horse try hard at barrle racing these pepole rock at it

[Lexicharlene]

That Traci Girl cant control her friken horse

[wellsuckme69]

@Lexicharlene To much GO not enough WHOA! XP

[live2ride6692]

@wellsuckme69 yeah but she already knocked the barrel so all that whipping was a little unnecessary

[Lexicharlene]

@wellsuckme69 Yes i know lol i have alot of go but enough to control!

[makedamnserbitch]

Who gives a fuck about the way they ride?!

REAL riders should care more about their horses' performance. Not how many times they lay a whip across their rump.

When you people doing all this criticizing make it to the level that these women are at, I gauruntee you we STILL won't listen to you when you whine and complain about how you don't like seeing these PROFESSIONALS ride the way they ride. These ladies are amazing. Period.

[Haileyandbuddy]

@makedamnserbitch I totally agree, i barrel Race WITHOUT A WHIP, yup, because i care more about the horse than the money, oh i have one lots to, so there is a more effective way than abuse

[makedamnserbitch]

@Haileyandbuddy

Yup.

And if you hit your horse once or twice, and they still go the same speed, THEY ARENT GOING TO GO ANY FASTER. So continuous hitting really isn't necessary.

[theofficalmandrshow]

@Haileyandbuddy Idk if I'd call it abuse,but if your hurting the poor horse and not just pushing him forward then yea

[peacelove151]

For those of you who don't know,, "Short Go" Shelley Morgan's horse had to be put down due to injury. We love you & are praying for you Shelley!!!!

[lillythehorselover]

omg! i hate when the hit, whip and roll their horses necks! my horse can go faster then them witha simple click and light kick!

[barrelstar1]

@lillythehorselover you dont barrel race obviously if you did you wouldnt say that and my guess is ou are dressage or jump well i am a mississippi back woods cowgirl so lets get this straight you have no NOT even one right to say that ah sure well just go in there and ollygag arund !!!

[lillythehorselover]

@barrelstar1 haha well ur wrong i barrel, i game and i win! iv traind my horse so that when i move my hands up on his neck he takes of as fast as he can! and i hate dressage, but i do love to jump! and i dont haha lollygag around i play to win, and i do. if u wana learn how to train your horse with out whipping and kicking it to death, just ask.

[doggieram]

aw cmon! you moved the camera a bunch on the best one!!! i didnt get to see the time and i could hear it good...i thought the last one was the best...

[gabby987654321]

wat channel does this come on ??? and wat time it would be super nice if someone can tell me:)

[luvinitt12109]

wow i cant imagine flying around the barrels on a horse that fast haha

[horsessim19]

i hope i can get their someday my horse and i practice really hard

[JojondRaven4ever]

[gipsysole]

[wolfspirit2465]

@gipsysole i hope i an 2 im getting trained this summer

[BreezyRulez]

What channel is this?! Great video!

[flyhperformancehorse]

I think its so funny that many of you can criticize these women when they are top 15 in the WORLD and your NOT. Don't worry about the way they ride or whip too much, because I got news for you, it WORKS!

[sierrams1123]

you are so very right!

[barrelstar1]

@flyhperformancehorse amen sister they dont know what thier talking about barrelracing is HARD work especially in the heat and wat it takes to train them these girls have doe it all so shut yur holes and quit criitizing these girls!!!!!!! P.S. they are probaly show jumpers or some one that rides english and doesnt have a hing to do with rodeo

[NDJONNY57]

@flyhperformancehorse amen!! I agree totally, there's a reason that they are there and you people AREN'T!! They're the best and you're not, so don't take out you're jealousy in your comments on this video.

[MsGamergirl14]

@flyhperformancehorse Exactly if it doesn't work why are they top barrel racers in the WORLD!

[kayrider95]

I'm getting a horse soon that is world champion fast. He's built to the extreme. I don't know if he's this fast, I'm too young for the NFR and WPRA. lol I'm only 14 and I just started last year!!

[live2ride6692]

@kayrider95 hey Charmayne James went to her first NFR on Scamper at 14 and she won

[cessnaespitia]

That Maegan Reichery girl shouldn't whip her horse that much... lol

[HorseQueen08]

GOSH! they are soo good! ive been barrel racing for 6 n a half years. i hope im in that rodeo one day!!

[liam3122]

howmany hands is that horse?

[hpletterdancers]

haha Im an English rider so it's interesting to read all these "westerny" comments and have nooo idea what theyre talking about ;p

[BarrelRacinEmo]

ima barrel racer myself :P

[3Barrels2Hearts1]

omg !!

Lyndsey Sears is my Barrel Racing idol!!!

[3barrels2souls1dream]

to betsugs1: you dont need to change a horses lead they will change it by them self so there is no reason to change it.. i dont understand why everyone thinks horses are so incapable of everything shouldnt they go around the barrel on the lead that they are most comfortable on?

[xxwildflamexx]

now im not trying to start shit but it depends on th ehorse. I have four barrel and gaming mares, three of them all change the leads themselves but my mare Foxx won't and you have to do it or she wont drop her shoulder into her second barrel and will take it wide. And as far as the most comfortable lead, some horses can, a lot of them trip if they're on the wrong lead. Liek I said, all depends ont he horse, I've been racing for 17 years now. Done clinics and lessons with the best in the biz

[sierrams1123]

umm you said "you have to do it or she wont drop her shoulder into her second barrel" and thats something you don't want your horse to do! you want to keep your horse picked up and collected not et them drop into the turn that makes them drop into the barrel!

[xxwildflamexx]

well ive been told you want their shoulder dropped after their flank passes the barrel and thats the way I've always done it and it works damn well for me. Especially on the second barrel i want my mare to drop so when her flank passes she can shoot forward more accuratly to the thrid barrel. hitting it becasue they drop is the riders faukt for not holding them off until their flank passes

[mrwilson628]

Anything that impedes forward motion puts time on the clock. Having to "hold them off", is slowing you down. You never want to push a horse past the barrel ("after their flank passes"). Extra steps cost you seconds. Proper collection allows you to go into a turn, sit down, pick up the inside rein, LIFT the shoulder, shape the ribcage, driving the inside hind leg under the horse for a snappy turn as he wraps(not runs past the barrel), and comes out cleanly in line for the next turn.

[Bridgette1Lauren]

Yea, but it could lead to a crossfiring if they don't change, which then, they can hurt themselves. I was told that at the Charmayne James clinic I went to a couple of years ago.

I'm not trying to start anything, but my mare, I have to remind but my gelding I don't need to he does it on her own.

[painthorselover11]

did u (classymis) film this off your tv?? if you did what tv service do u have and what channel?? i hope to be that good of a barrel racer some day.....

[turnandburn4life]

I watched this I think I watched this on ESPN

[fionat2001]

Hey! Brittany forgot to give her horse a wake-up in the alley

[barrelracer95thunder]

Whats A Wake-Up?

[hugo12707]

Yea.... She seemed to be running him fine in the alley.... What is a wake-up?

[kelliefan1017]

They are trying to hold the horses back, and the horses just kind of slide in there sideways.

[1hottbarrelracer]

Whooo Hooo Go Lindsey Sears =D and her wonderful horse Martha =D

[caddykm]

r u gettn it off a tv?!?!?

[betsugs1]

anyone else notice that brittany pozzi phar hit stitch's nose off first barrel and it caused the knock!? poor horse

[betsugs1]

if you run barrels your know that you need to head into your first barrel on the correct lead. When coming up a chute you have to bend your horse inorder to get that correct lead. These horses are so fired up they just bend a little more then usual. their rider is probably pushing their hip so they dont take off right away as well

[TurnsToFast4You]

OMG. your an AMAZING barrel racer.

[ProBarrelRacer101]

hehe, this is the WNFR! not classymis. ha, ha, all of these riders are AMAZING riders! :h

[Drpepperrock31]

[3Nails3Barrels]

[rancher246]

Thank you so much. Our Canadian dish won't show any NFR coverage at all. It's retarded with all the hockey, football, curling and every crap you can think of (POKER?!?) and they don't have the decency to cover the NFR.

[NorthernCwgrl]

Lyndsey Sears you rock girl!!

[cbueckert]

That was great! Thanks for posting it! I am sure there will be many watching it!

[sterlingcowgirl69]

thanks so much!! Even if it's TV it's better than what I get to watch... NOTHING!

[dustyboi20]

Did you video tape your TV or something?

[classymis]

Yep, that's what I did since I couldn't be there in person :(
