20 seconds
You may touch the barrel. If the barrel is knocked over, there is a time penalty.
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.
In barrel racing 5 seconds is added for each nocked over barrel but in some contests if a barrel is nocked over its a dq and if u nock over all three its a dq
on a normal pattern, it is usually 16 seconds or less.. :)
barrel racing is about you and your horse trusting each other. And going around all three barrels and getting really close to them without knocking them over... Your goal is to beat everybody out and get the best time.
depends on the size of the ring but an average time is 15.859 sec.
If you had fast reaction time you might be good at fast paced sports. Such as badminton, baseball, drag racing and many others.
Fallon Taylor has barrel raced since she was 7yrs old. She began racing in 1990 to the present time. She is now 29yrs old and a wonderful mentor.
9.17 I believe is the fastest time on barrel racing. Hope that this helps. =)16 seconds is the fastest timeThe fastest time cant NOT be 16 seconds you dip. Because in the NFR the girls run 13 and 12's. and plus Liz Pikston ran the fastest time so far which is like a 10 or something like thatthere really isn't a "fastest time" because some barrel courses are shorter or longer than others. so if you have a course that is measured correctly, 16 seconds is a good and a really fast time.Well to be a little more helpful, the fast barrel horses are 1D and in my lifetime of showing and breeding barrel horses, I've never seen a horse run faster then 11 seconds. It does also depend on the distance of the barrels. If they are the set distance, 15 seconds will get you first. Ive done it, and Ive seen it done.no 16 senconds is not the fastest because i got o the quarther horse congress every year and there are horses who run times of 11 to 15 and any way when i do contesting in 4-h there are kids who run 16s all the time"there really isn't a "fastest time" because some barrel courses are shorter or longer than others. so if you have a course that is measured correctly, 16 seconds is a good and a really fast time."Like i said ^^^^^ the measurment of the course mattersIn barrel racing, the times make all the difference. and so does the course. seconds is a fast time, but most times are in the 14-16 range. I myself have had a 16.299 and a 16.246Hey, I'm a NBHA barrel racer, and the fastest NBHA time is currently 13.6 seconds, with Hot Shot, but the size of the barrel courses vary, as I see some of you have already said. There could be a faster time than Hot Shot's, but the only recorded ones are from the NBHA. & I don't think 9.17 seconds is even possible on NBHA courses. It may be on much smaller ones, but I've never even seen (or heard of) someone running 12 seconds. Also, there are different divisions, so it's hard to say the fastest time. But the current world record of all barrel horses is 13.670 from a 1D barrel horse, Hot Shot.
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!! :)
Most the time in competitions women do not compete in bronc or bull riding, their main event is barrel racing
Horses are generally considered fast runners. They are known for their speed and agility, making them ideal for activities like racing and show jumping.
