Barrel racing is a rodeo or gymkhana sport where you and your horse complete a cloverleaf pattern as fast as you can.  Both Men and Women compete in this sport, however, most rodeos only allow the ladies.   Barrel racing is a race as the fastest time wins but there are lots of skills required to be a champion.  Flying lead changes and balance are just a few of the athleticism required to compete in this sport. Proper preparation for both horse and rider is required to make Barrel racing fun and safe.

Why do you ride bareback?  Is it so you can really feel your horse move or do you do it because you are too lazy to put the saddle on? That is the question we are asking in the podcast. Bareback horse riding came first. Long before the invention of the saddle, man was riding his horses bareback. Truth be known, when it comes to horse and rider, a saddle is not a necessity, but merely a handy tool of convenience. Bareback horse riding is arguable, the fastest way to develop your skill as a rider. Many riders use their saddle and their reins as a crutch. Humans tend to be rather lazy creatures. We won’t learn anything unless we have to, and that goes for balance as well. It’s only natural for a rider to take advantage of the stirrups and the saddle horn that sits so conveniently at their disposal.
