Why is barrel racing hard?

Barrel racing can be hard because of all the work that goes into it. You have to have a good horse to start with, and then if it is not already trained, you have to teach them the ins and outs out rodeo life. You have to have a horse that can stop on a dime and turn the tightest turn possible without knocking the barrel, even if that means touching the rim of the barrel as you go around. You also have to do this in the fastest time possible, so that means flying at top speeds and then dropping on a dime to turn and then go onto the next barrel. If you fail to do this, you not only knock a barrel, but may also split your leg open as well or at the very least have one hell of a bruise (from personal experience). Though it is hard, rodeo is my life and couldn't live without it! Cowgirl/cowboy up and run your heart out!
