Barrel racing!!!

[CrazyfurAnimals]

Guess what? My instructor Katie is teaching me how to barrel race. :) She said I am looking much better at the trot. ( I don't feel any less bouncy or more comfortable, but at least I can get the horse to trot faster now :p.) Anways, she's teaching me how to barrel race. Today, she just lay out 5 cones and had me trot around them. Does anyone have any tips about barrel racing at all? Or even trotting for that matter?

To make turns tighter, ensure the horse is completely balanced. I.e. don't just pull the reins to turn, use the legs and weight aids as well! :D

Bending (the English version of Barrel Racing) is one of my favourite Gymkhana Games and (if I do say so myself) I'm quite talented at it :D!

Have fun! Good Luck and Happy Landings!
