Informative, instructive and interesting!

It's curious how much connection it takes for the rider and the horse to perform well and become basically partners. As I can see, this is an essential thing. These exhibitions, racing, and training must be very nice to see in person! The conditioning to maintain the horse healthy, being fed correctly with discipline. The book gives a nice view of the sport. Whether you're starting or an experienced rider, I believe there is much knowledge and experience from the Author. I liked learning more about it!

All you need to know and succeed in barrel racing!

This was a great intro training guide to the brand-new sport of barrel racing. I needed everything that was covered in this book, from building a barrel horse and the training programme needed. It explains the world of rodeo eventing and everything about the cloverleaf patterns around preset barrels to how to go up the ranks in competitions. This was a great way to absorb all aspects of this exciting sport to be able to train properly from here and be armed with the knowledge to succeed.

Barrel horse training

This audiobook is full of tips and tricks for training barrel horses. It provided training drills that were very effective once we practiced regularly. The narration was also very effective for the topic.
