Amazed Equine it all depends on how your horse acts sometimes but I agree with u her riding is great

Natalie Malone I don't think it matters lol I've never used a whip on my horse and she goes faster than most barrel horses in my area. I'm a strong believer of whips make your horse slower

Amazed Equine It depends on he horse cause most the horses I do rodeos and gymkhanas with whips make them go a lot faster and there's a,out of girls at the place i go to for gymkhana that get 17-16 seconds and it's amazing but without a whip or Spurs there horses r just stubborn and get about 27seconds just to get around the second barrel because they don't wanna go cause the can't feel u kicking them without Spurs, everyone has there own opinion and knows what works best for there spesific horse or horses but that doesn't mean it works for all horses I have my opinion and u have yours lets just leave it at that

Equine Halle I'm a barrel racer and I don't do either

Yeah the horn makes a great oh shit! Handle but that's about it. I don't grab the horn either and sometimes it's hard not to and stay balanced. She does a great job of making it look easy. I agree with you.

Cassidy Rose There are so many misconceptions about the horn. It is not only for those that need something to hold on to, but for those who want to get off their horses mouth when they turn. If you can stay out of your horses way, then the turn will be faster as you can't catch their face. Younger horses need two hands to guide them, but experienced horses do not. And you can always get out of your horses way more by grabbing it on the turns. No matter how much one thinks they can stay out of their horses way with two, it will be even better with one.

Is not about staying out of your horse's way, it's about helping a horse out and guiding him/her using your body and your legs. I don't use the horn even if I only use one hand personally. But its never about staying out of your horse's way, it's about being a team and working together and connecting with the horse and guiding him or her. That is why do ride in the first place right? To be one with a beautiful and powerful horse. Not to stay out of his or her way and to just hang on, that's pointless. It's about the friendship and connection between you and your horse. It's not enough to just have a fast horse. You've got to get to know the horse and guide him or her. Never stay out of his or her way. That is where we disagree. 

Like I said, you only need to direct and guide a younger horse. If you still have to do that do a finished horse, well then you certainly haven't done a good training job.

You are way to kind. (: Thank you so much! It makes me feel good knowing others feel the same way. There is a fine line between pushing and abusing your horse and I hate to say I have seen far to many girls cross that line.

I agree!! awesome video (: makes me proud to be a barrel racer

actually, I have to have spurs on my horse or she doesn't listen and I can't control her. **********not trying to be rude**********.

***** it's actually not my horse is very stubborn but she's getting better. She has a problem with running away with whoever rides her.

+The Art2Ride actually there are some horses that you need to use spurs on. My mare wouldn't run unless you had spurs on. Most of the time I didn't even use my spurs she just had to know they were there and she was fine.

Oh dang she did! when i saw you said that i was like "bullshit" then i saw it

i noticed that 2

Amanda Parker same. I always lose my stirrup lol.

I don't know where she lives, but she said that it's pole weaving instead of pole bending:)

AdiAndShay It is called pole weaving in Canada so I am guessing......... Lol it looks SOOOO weird!!

I'm from Minnesota actually. We have both pole weaving and pole bending around here!

Oh that's really cool! We only have pole bending down here in Wyoming!

Sierra ShadowKiller I'm in Canada I've only done pole bending no weaving around here anyways :)

Thank you! You are very kind. (:

SpeedyLebron17 LOVE them! I just recently brought home a second Beduino bred gelding.

Chicks Beduino is my favorite bloodline. I want to breed my mare when I'm older and keep a stud if it's nicely built. My dream
