Hi This website has some good information that may be of assistance to you. http://www.ultimatehorsesite.com/articles/mcnamara_startingbarrels.html
It is a horse race.
The salary of a barrel racing horse trainer varies depending on how good you are.
They do not have strong hind-quarters and a horse for barrel racing needs them to be able to do fast turns.
A Thoroughbred horse can most definitely Barrel Race. Mostly any horse can! If anything, this horse breed can be great a barrel racing because of its speed and flexibility. Have Fun!
This is when you take a horse to various games and compete in them such as barrel racing, or pole bending.
A barrel racer is a person who engages in barrel racing - a race in which a horse must be ridden around standing barrels.
Quarter Horses are the best horse to do barrels.
Yes, I would say so. A finished barrel horse can cost anywhere from $6000 to $12000. You need a good barrel racing saddle and boots for your horse. Not to mention headstalls and bits. Also, barrel racers need a trailer to haul their horse or horses to events. A small trailer an cost $10,000. Most people have matchy matchy boots and saddle pads and outfits too but I'm not really into that.
niether pole bending- pols can fall on you..........you can fall off...........horse may react. barrel racing- barrels fall and hit you.can fall off..............horse may react.
There are many horses that do very well in barrel racing. many people use quarter horses or paints, i have also seen many appys. I personaly have done barrel racing with a pinto and a mustang and both did very well. you just need a horse that is fast and can turn fast.
Quarter horses and paints are both great barrel racers.
Absolutely! I want this to be my career along with being a horse trainer.
