Barrel racing

Barrel racing is most often seen in events such as rodeos. It's all about speed, turning, and trying to not knock the barrel down. At first, the rider races out from a fence, then swirls around the barrels and then goes back into another fence. Barrel racing teaches riders how to do sharp turns and also teaches them speed. Barrel racing can also been seen on ranches. The best horses for barrel racing are quarter horses. Their backs are short, legs are long,there are nice movers, and are great at doing sharp turns especially around barrels. They are also great for events such as rodeos.
