You may touch the barrel. If the barrel is knocked over, there is a time penalty.

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!! :)

What are the physical parts of barrel racing?
Physical parts? Im guessing you mean what do you have to do in barrels racing? Well for the rider- balance. This means that you can keep in the middle of your horse ( as much as people love sitting up when they barrel race its actually throwing your horse off) another part is leg pressure on your horse. Just dont use your reins- use your legs on the horse to emphisize the turn- it actually keeps the horses mouth healthier too! if anyone else has anything else to add please do!

How do you keep a cowboy hat on head when you are barrel racing?
Most people I know hold the reins in one hand and keep the hat on their head with their other hand. If you can't do that, maybe pin it down with bobby pins...? Build up to it, but when just learning about barrel racing, I suggest you don't use a cowboy hat just yet. ;)

How can you treat navicular disease?
Sometimes shoeing can help mild cases. Some medicines say they cure the disease, but I am not familiar with them. My horse has the disease, and he has special shoes from the farrier. Medical professionals are yet to find a "cure". Keep work to a moderate level, try not to jump the horse or do much work that will put stress on the hoof. (Barrel racing, pole bending, and cutting are a few to watch out for.) Everything depends on the severity in your horse. Talk to your vet and farrier about your specific horse before making any decisions.
Will blinkers help your Horse stop shying?
Blinkers, in horse racing, are meant to keep the horse's vision focused forward instead of next to them. Technically I guess you could say they stop them from shying. For regular riding I wouldn't suggest it. It would probably make your horse a little nervous in the ring.
