In order to be great, yes. As a simple way to put it, you will usually lean forward and stand slightly in the saddle between barrels, but you must sit deep in the saddle while turning the barrels to drive your horse forward and to help with his balance.

How is racing played?

Barrel racing is a rodeo event that involves you, your horse, and 3 barrels. It is a timed event. There are 3 barrels in the shape of a clover leaf. As you run in you go to the right side and turn the first barrel (but you can also go the other way and start at your left). Then you run to the second barrel and turn that then you are on your way to the 3rd and last barrel. as soon as you are done with that, you race home as fast as you and your horse can and to try and beat the clock. Barrel Racing is a very fun, but competitive sport. Some people think that to be a Barrel Racer you have to have an expensive horse but all you need is being able to enjoy such a fun and addicting sport!


Do you have to have a certain type of head stall for barrel racing?

I would say that you would need a bridle that has a crown piece (in front of the ears) A strap behind the ears and a throat latch (under the neck), this would ensure that while turning a barrel that the head stall wouldnn't come flying off. Most nylon bridles are made this way, and some leather ones as well, (although these are generally mush more expensive.)

Why do you need a special timer for barrel racing?

Barrel races usually use the 'Electric eye'. It is placed where the time starts/ends. It's important, because it is the most accurate way to record the times, and it starts/stops as soon as the horse's nose passes the timer. Stopwatches aren't nearly accurate enough-in some barrel races, a hundredth of a second can determine the winner.
