Horse Barrel Racing
As shown in the picture to the left, barrel racing has a distinct pattern to it. Barrel racing requires the minimum of equipment, a saddle, a bridle and a helmet if you are a beginner. Once you have the equipment, all you need is the horse. Most competitors in horse barrel racing like to use quarter horses, as they are known for their good temperament, speed and agility. Other horses such as Paints, Appaloosas and Pintos are also popular horses. It is advised that thoroughbred horses are not used for these races, as due to their high-strung nature they cannot make turns with accurate and controlled precision. You can barrel race at any age, and if you want to compete, there are shows in various locations for different ages.
