Is barrel racing hard?

Question

Is barrel racing hard?

Answer 1

no it's fairly easy to get the technique down. It's the speed that you have to practice for.

Answer 2

I wouldnt say it was hard, already knowing how to ride would be an advantage. But i instruct juniors and we alawys do barrels for a bit of fun. Of corse they dont do the speed that seniors do etc.

Like they say practice makes perfect lol. when i was 11 i could do like 16 seconds. i know thats not AWESOME, but it was bloody good for me at my age and it the club i was in. with the horse i have now we are looking at like a minute! lol, na not really but he sux at it! lol. So a good horse helps lol. I rekon if you put your mind to it you will do great!!!

Good luck!

Answer 3

You need to learn the basics but its quite easy to pick up if you are natural rider.

You need to have good balance, a love for adrenalin and speed and need some persistance!

goodluck
