Barrel Pattern Work – FOR US!

Byoutsidetheturn October 26, 2023

I’ve often said that barrel pattern work really isn’t as much for the horse as it is for us. It’s for us to gain consistency in where we want their body, how we want them to turn, and more. Basically it’s drilling us for the consistency we desire in them; that’s the real goal.

In this video below, I talk you through some barrel pattern work – as I do it at home on my horses. I do this to help me become more consistent. We want our brains to go into “muscle memory” mode during a run. This is one way to train your brain. There are other ways to train your brain of course, but by training our brains, we train ourselves to be confident and believe that we can do it!

Speed Control

We like our horses to tune into our seat and our body, so we can use the reins and our legs to refine the cues we give them for turnarounds, rollbacks, spins, or gathering up so we can do a canter pirouette (or swap directions quickly to corral an unruly bull come fall). Plus, anyone else can use “whoa” or “ho” and that might mean something to our horse when we don’t need it to.

My Warm-Up

Keep in mind, you only have about 10 minutes of quality time to train at the lope. Due to this, I do most of my softening work at the walk.

Let’s Talk Rein Length

Let’s talk rein length, shall we? To me, rein length is really important. When we’re training a horse, we are, or should be, teaching them to search for the release. We do it with our feet, and even with our seat, so why do most barrel racers not do it with their reins?

2020 Better Barrel Races World Finals

Due to the dumpster fire that is 2020, the Better Barrel Races World Finals had to reschedule. The event, typically held in April, had to move to August. Now, for some of you, that’s not a big deal. But when you’re not used to 80% relative humidity, and the sweltering heat of Oklahoma in the…
