The ground between barrels is basically regular hard ground and around the barrels is deeper, softer, torn up ground.It does get sticky when it rains.I know different horses prefer different grounds but is racing on regular hard ground or tore up dirt safer? What do you prefer?

However, you also don't want the ground TOO deep. But it does need to be dug up for you horse to get some cushion and footing around the barrels.

I do not rodeo and am surrounded by jackpots every weekend year round and can be picky where I go. I do this for fun and getting me or my horse hurt is not fun.
