Quarter horse
or most horses that are bred from America
The salary of a barrel racing horse trainer varies depending on how good you are.
Thoroughbreds
Some do, it depends on the horse and how good the trainer is. However, the best barrel racing hoorses are probably Quarter Horses --------------------------------------------------- it is actually called a standardbred. ANd yes, they can barrel race, some better than others but this breed is known for its versitility
It all depends on the horse. I wouldn't look for a specific breed, more the horse that you want. :D Quarter Horses and QH crosses are generally used.
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.
Yes. You want a nice short fast horse to get around the barrel's quicker.
SPEED AND TRUST AND OF COURSE A GOOD TURN AND A MUSCULAR HORSEi live. i am. i ride. horse
There is no set weight requirement for barrel racing. Riders of all shapes and sizes can excel in the sport with proper training and technique. It is more important to have a strong connection with your horse and good riding skills for success in barrel racing.
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.
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.
Thoroughbreds are often what are thought of most when thinking about racing, but there are racing for other horses like standardbreds, which are used for trotting or pacing races, quarter horse races that go over a quarter of a mile, Arabian racing, appaloosa racing, even mule racing! Many breeds are used for racing.
