Trail Barrel
Why wont my horse turn on the first barrel?
i have been doing barrels with my horse for years but for the past 4 or 5 rodeos my horse will not turn on the first barrel. she will lean into it but then quickly change her mind then run off. she is not being spooked, she just doesn’t want to do it. After she is under control and gone through the first barrel she does amazing 2nd and 3rd barrels. i have tried giving her a break and even started doing polls witch she has no problem with. she has no problem doing barrels in practice either. i trail ride her almost every week and sometimes we go weeks without even seeing a barrel. whats wrong with my horse?
Since the first barrel is the opposite turning direction of the second two – I wonder if it has to do with her not seeing the barrel combined with not wanting to do it. Since she is fine in practice it makes me think she isnt burned out just slightly sick of it. Maybe you could take her to a run that allows you to go to either barrel first, go to the other one first, and see how she acts.
