What is the secret to barrel racing?
To Barrel race you have to go FAST! and on the first turn (1st barrel) u have to go on the left lead then switch between the first and second barrel. Tight turns help your time and you can't go to tight and knock a barrel because that adds penalty time. After the third barrel get your horse to go ask fast as you can. Of course control in key also (which how you make the turns as i said farther up.) you have to be able to change leads and make turns. I know a lot about barrel racing because I'm great at it and compete a lot.
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!
You would really like to do barrel racing?
Start off with barrel racing lessons first if possible. If not possible, the second best thing would be to get some videos and books and study up on it. Then if you decide you really like it, try to get your hands on an older horse experienced in barrel racing. Depending on your previous riding experience would determine just how old he should be. for a beginer rider, you want to look into 10 year olds or older but if you have alot of riding experience, you could go for a horse closer to 5.

What is the best pony breed for barrel racing?
Quarter horses do tend to be the best for barrel racing but Arabians are deferentially not suited for it. You can really use any horse for barrel racing but it is SUPER IMPORTANT that you make sure they have the right body build and athletic abilities to preform the task. Arabians typically don't fit the needs. I am a barrel racer myself so please take this advice.

How old is a horse when it can not race anymore?
when it died. A horse can't race anymore when it is permanently limping or has a permanent issue. If you want your horse to be seriously injured you can continue racing it. I have an Arabian who is 20 and fully capable of racing but when we trailered her the first time she injured herself and now has a HUGE scar. I would still be racing her except every time she turns the 2nd barrel on barrel racing she falls because the scar stretches and hurts her. I also have a horse over 30 yrs old and she is still racing w/ a slight limp. If yours has any serious issues you should stop racing it, if not you can keep racing it but when it gets to a point where it doesn't like racing or your not so sure about him/her anymore then you should retire him/her. Hope this helps!! :)
I am 13 and would like to start practicing barrel racing on my 18 year old Quarter horse gelding with an old ligament injury to his left hind leg is this a good idea and how do i fix it?
You should have your Equine vet examine the leg first to see if the tendon will hold up to the strain of barrel racing, if the vet gives the OK then you need to slowly bring the horse back into shape.
