Training a barrel horse requires SO much more than repetition. In fact, if we understand how to CAUSE our horses to “crave” the pattern, it requires very little (this is covered in the ‘Start Strong, Finish Fast’ Chapter, Exercise 13 - Get Hooked)!
However, there’s possibly no place that requires more precise position and timing from horse and human barrel racing athletes both, than the approach to the first barrel.
Once you’ve perfected your form, it’s helpful to get it REALLY solid so as a team, you can take some pressure off yourself and let muscle memory kick in – that’s where Exercise 17 – Position Perfection from the ‘First Barrel Finesse’ Chapter comes in! When good habits are confirmed, your job as a jockey becomes easier and you can trust your horse to do his part.
