The girl that fell off at 3:25 I think it was, she was on the forehand when the horse was trotting which most often does throw a horse off balance, and you can also tell that the horse was very heavy on the forehand at the trot, walk, and canter. I'm no barrel racer, but I do drill riding and natural horsemanship, so I'm really good at picking these things out.

If the runs were more consistent i could tell better but it appears to be standard? I spoke too soon I think standard those seniors were all about the same time with good runs.

And that is why you wear a helmet kids. If you really want protection, wear an impact vest too. It will save your life.

Some of these kids are so young😭

Some of the riders need training and most of the horses need training, but it's amazing how angry people who have never run barrels or never been competitive at it get over things they don't understand. The horse's job is to run fast and make tight turns. They get a lot of momentum going. You need a bit that can stop that momentum before you hit the fence. Your priority should be safety, and part of being safe is making sure you can stop in time. A lot of them need spurs to keep them off the barrel going in and have them complete the turn going out. The head and the body don't always go the same way, which is why you sometimes have to have spurs to push them over. A lot of these people aren't even making much contact with their spurs. They're hitting their back cinches, which doesn't do anything more than a regular kick. I also really like the whips with fuzzy ends a lot of them have. They don't hurt. They're awkward to use and are basically an empty threat. They only hurt when your friend is riding past you and decides to take aim when you aren't looking. Little kids should be wearing helmets, but there comes a point where you're a grown adult and you can decide whether or not to wear one. Personally, I don't. I've always found them uncomfortable and I have a couple of incredibly sure footed horses that I can trust aren't going to dump me. A helmet also isn't going to help if you land wrong. You can still break your neck with a helmet on. I've never had an accident that did any damage, but I know it could happen at any time, and I accept that as my risk and ride defensively. I don't do stupid things and don't take green horses away from the house unless they're doing an in hand class. These people have the right to ride as they please, and most of them are actually being pretty nice. Almost all of them totally give the horses their heads to run home. It's just a matter of slowing down where you need to and the can't stop wont stop mentality of a barrel horse. Plus, no one here knows what these horses are like outside the arena. One of my horses can gather cattle bridleless at home, but she'll dump you if you attempt to run barrels in anything less than a mild correction bit. Use her normal bit and she runs a fast clean pattern with only verbal cues for speed. It all just depends on the horse and how they respond cues and what they're like in different environments.

3:25 is why you should always wear a helmet no matter how you ride. If she'd landed on her head, she could've been seriously injured

@jstringfellow1961

The horse was lame before he came into the arena. The horse weighs 900 pounds wet. The rider is an easy 260. This is NOT the first time this rider and many like her have taken a bump. You are 100% correct, a helmet would have helped, but putting down the burritos and Twinkies will help a hell of a lot more.

I feel so bad for the girl at 2:47. She was TERRIFIED, tense, and inexperienced. She had a death grip on that saddle horn. Not to mention, that horse is too much for her. I could tell that sucker was going to buck the moment she got to the first barrel. Pairing inexperience with inexperience gets someone hurt and kills confidence. This little girl may never want to ride anymore because of it. She needs a “been there and done that” horse to learn the basics on until she gains more confidence in herself and learns to trust her horse 😔

Actually, believe it or not, spurs can be really useful if used correctly. People that are completely against spurs use the argument that they’re abusive, but even a leather rein can be abusive if used incorrectly… My horse can be ridden without a saddle or bridle and responds to the slightest pressure from my leg, but another horse I just started working with has bad habits and is unresponsive. For these horses, I use spurs to get them sensitive to my leg pressure, and in about a week of training, I no longer need to use the spurs

Folks, PLEASE for the love of god and all things holy. LET.OUT.OF.YOUR.HORSES.FACE! You’re giving them stop and go cues at the same time and wanna act surprised when you get thrown! Its your fault! Your horse is about confused at hell and doesn’t know what to do!

If I could ONLY say what I want to say. This group needs so much work, so much direction, and so many hours of dedicated practice. To allow young women to become so obese in the first place is unacceptable, but to allow them ride horses and fall off, kick, spur, whip, and yank like maniacs is horrid. You don't follow NBHA rules. You allow animal abuse. You encourage accidents to happen when you don't speak up regarding weight limits on horses. A 1000 pound horse can ONLY (ONLY) take 20% of his/her weight INCLUDING the saddle. For Shonda to be in this event her horse would need to be 1500 pounds. I keep hoping that with each video I watch I will see improvement, but I don't. It would be so much better if the sponsors sat each contestant down and literally taught them how to ride. Lizzie, Kelsey, Carla, and a few others may be the only exceptions. HELMETS on kids would be AWESOME.
