What is Barrel racing?
  • Barrel racing is a sport that takes a lot of
    skill if you want to be good.
  • What you do in barrel racing is you ride a horse
    around barrels in a cloverleaf pattern and what
    ever horse and rider has the fastest time wins.
  • It takes a lot of practice not only do you have
    to ride your horse all the time you have to learn
    how to control the horses speed going to and
    around the barrel and if you knock a barrel down
    it is a no time.

10
What education is needed?
  • You need to know how to care for a horse so it is
    healthy to ride and that means to make sure you
    feed your horse the right way, to get their feet
    done every 6 weeks , and to love the horse so the
    horse loves and trusts you.
  • Another thing you have to know is how to ride.
    Riding can be easy or hard depending on the
    person. For me it is easy because I have been
    doing it all my life.

    enough to do the WPR or Women's Pro Rodeo.

14
Barrel Racing Going Pro
  • Becoming pro is very hard and takes a lot of
    money and time . Money alone is a big reason a
    lot of good barrel racers dont go pro because
    paying for a show alone can cost from 30 per run
    to 300 per run.
  • You also have to figure traveling from state to
    state is a lot of money because of gas and buying
    a good horse can range from 1,000 to 100,000
  • Feeding them also takes a lot of money.
