Well written/narrated!

This book does a great job of teaching you all the secrets of barrel racing and how to compete effectively. It even covers the psychology of horses and how to use this information to your advantage, which was super helpful. Well narrated and written, would recommend.

Amazing

The book is excellent. very comprehensive with regards to both the rider and the animal. Even if you are well-trained, you may always benefit from a refresher course, and for beginners, this can teach you all the necessary steps to establishing a strong foundation with your horse. Highly advised.

Exciting Stuff!

This book is not just for people who want to train their horse for barrel racing but it’s ideal for anyone who wants to know how to look after their horse. A horse’s long-term wellness can be enhanced if you treat them carefully and look after them.

Warm your horse up gradually before any training session and your horse will react to you better. This also applies to the cooling down period at the end. This prevents injuries and soreness. As with any training program, you need to create a foundation. Your horse needs to know what to do, this is impossible without a solid foundation.

This is a great book, it’s well produced and well narrated.

Wow! Much more than I bargained for!

When I see one oh one in a title I kind of always assume a high-level view/introductory level information. But this book was so much more than that! The information was very informative as well as technical and I am certain as a person implements this information it will have a dramatic impact on their performance in barrel racing and overall handling of their horse. I especially got a lot out of the tips and techniques on dealing with the alley. Game changer. I definitely recommend this book for anyone who is aspiring to be a great barrel racer no matter your level.

Definitive winner

This book is great. Very thorough on all aspects of the horse and rider. Even if you’re well trained you can always use a refresher or as a newbie this can help you learn all aspects of building a solid foundation with your horse. Highly recommend.

Great Concepts for Excellence!

My grandson has been involved in barrel racing so I got him this book so he can refine his skills and rebuild from the ground up. He realized he needed to be more disciplined and stick to his daily routine and also learned so much about each of the skills so he can refine his approach for barrel racing. He absolutely loved this book and I've been impressed with his improvements thus far after listening. Two thumbs up from the both of us!
