Show Horse
What's the tips to be part of Horse Show and Barrel Racing training for a wanna be show horse person?
I have been only raising horses for almost four or five years and one of my horse just had a little colt about six days ago. Two of my horses are mares and they are more of trail walkers buddies. I wanted to show the saddlebred horse (who was just had the baby colt) and barrel racing but I know I have to wait for while before I do any training. Any tips and training?
Hi,
The tips you received on the colt and imprinting are excellent so I won't expound.
{Wait for a while before you do any training}? You don't realize that every time you interact with your horses, you ARE training already. That is just the way it is. Horses are like sponges, sopping up both bad and good.
The type of breed you have is not really built to motor through a barrel racing course. not that you couldn't play around a bit with it. If you get serious with either showing or barrel racing, you will either need two horses or a horse for the event you choose.
If you want to train your own, I suggest RFDTV or buying DVD's on the event you are interested in, or getting a reputable professional to help you learn (and not necessarily in that order). Shadow a pro for a while an watch everyone. "you can learn something from everyone, even if it is ...I won't do it that way!" LOL You can never know everything because each horse is a new individual and each will teach you as you teach them...
Good luck with your horse'y endeavors and if you have any questions from myself, you can e-mail me at lovesflyinhorses@msn.com ....I specialize in babies, young horses, starting under saddle and Barrel Racing.
Ask questions, questions, questions...and watch, watch, watch...you will learn a lot that way!
BTW to KOALA LOVER-----Stick to your koalas since you are obiviously biased when it comes to horse events... a horse can break a leg in the pasture or in a halter class...it's all a part of life. If a barrel Racing Horse is cared for properly, he is in no more danger than any othe horse being used for sporting events. Thanks for the encouragement to someone starting out...you are VERY helpful...NOT
