Answer 1

--Keep your practice consistent, don't confuse the pattern in your horse's mind.

--Keep it fun for your horse, and you both will become addicted to it!  

--If either one of you are having a bad day, lay off and do something entirely different, so your horse doesn't have any sour associations with running the barrels.

--If your horse ever seems to nick his shins on turns or stops, you may want to protect the legs with wraps and/or skid boots so the horse won't get to worrying about that and hesitate, (or get hurt).

--Keep calm when entering the ring until you take off, many horses get a little crazy with anticipation.  It's a controlled explosion!  :)  hopefully... LOL

--Keep yourself safe too, wearing chaps is a good thing, and anything to protect your legs, or head, and hands -not only for protection from injury, but to prevent any unconscious hesitation in your body language, because your horse can pick up on that!

practice makes perfect

Answer 3

what you do is you first walk around th barrels. Do this a lot. This will help your horse learn not to hit the barrels when cantering. Then move up to trot and go around them a lot. After days, yes, days of walking and trotting, you could try some cantering. It is a long, slow process but it should help your horse.
