Barrel racing is a rodeo event that has quickly become one of the most exciting events drawing crowds of all walks of life. The contest itself is very fast paced race event in which a horse and rider attempt to complete a clover-leaf pattern around preset barrels for the fastest time. This contest puts the rider and horse to the test to see just how well the endless hours of practice have paid off. Barrel Racing might very well be the most challenging contest of horsemanship skills and has become just as popular (if not more) as bull riding. The sport began among amateur cowgirls looking for some friendly competition, however, the sport has now turned into a multi-million dollar professional sport.
This sport is not for the weak or the lazy for that matter... the training and discipline is intense and requires dedication both physically and mentally from the rider and the horse. As a bystander, one might think the sport is rather simple, however, years of training is required to efficiently run the barrels with the precision needed to take home first place. Despite the rigorous training, the thrill of the barrel racing event lures the trainers back for more!!
