I'm not a big fan of futurities. "Futurity" means future or the young horse's future as a winner. Futurities are limited to very young horses only, usually not over 2. Young horses are pushed too hard much too early and it could set a precident of a life time of injuries and behavior problems.
Barrel racing is a very strenuous sport. Sharp turns and full-out running is hard on even mature horses. It can be disasterous for young horses that still have wide-open knee plates and softer, immature joints.
Barrel racing should be left for mature, sound, good-boned and good-minded horses and a caring and careful rider.
