I would love to see better ground for these horses. Also it would be cool to have someone that is very well known and knowledgeable in barrel racing be a commentator. Keep on putting this on, love to see horses find second careers after racing.

the first one 💀

these horses need more time. you can tell they are getting confused. i would not be pushing a 3 year old on barrels. i wouldn’t even push a 4 year old. there bones and joints aren’t done fusing. they are not giving them a big enough pocket. there cutting them too close to the barrels that’s why there knocking them and jumping over them. there horses just need proper slow work and drills. :) 6:47 did it wonderfully gave the horse a big enough pocket and the gave clear cues what to do.

You don't teach a horse to neck rein in barrels. They are always direct reined.

I Appreciate the idea of a "Makeover"... But listening to the people talking not having a Clue about the sport other then knowing repitition is a lg part. But other then the LAST gal in this vid who did AWESOME:) BUT TO PUSH A 3 YEAR OLD that fast no wonder they all look like bird watchers... The sport takes time with your horse.. You'll Blow the horse up at such a young age to hate that job.. Broke my heart to watch the first 3. P.s. no horse is designed to do what we ask of them but they can do it.. Good Luck!:) Sweet Al Freeman BARREL RACER~

Came across this again. Ughhh..... There are tons of Race horses turned Pro Barrel Horses... Most of these horses on here would be trained more & more consistent repitition.. This does not do the horses justice... But cool idea. I would Not be calling it. A "Mega" Makeover .. Not yet... JMO

These horses are not trained to do this. You are not finding them good homes if this is “trained”. Listen to the lady announcer explain this. This is awful!!!!
