I would like to send my video to some peeps to get some input.
Horse is up to date on teeth. Injected in April, recheck last week she was a little body sore (probably from learning how to collect and use herself correctly) and radiographs gorgeous (hocks and stifles). Vet said a few days off and to bute a few hours before runs for a few weeks until her body gets used to being hauled and running that way. She went from going down in her front end to turn to turning on her haunches and lifting her front end. She was taught to use herself off the pattern and then put back on the barrels. Not just worked on the barrels only.
Horse gets ranitidine every 8 hours when being hauled. i personally have never made a good first barrel on any horse in this arena but I have got to find out what it is I'm doing. Last run we made (before the rain, so 2 weeks ago) was 3rd in the 1D with a smoking run (for us) but it was not in this pen...
I'm afraid to post it but I would like as much OPs as I can get.

What kind of shoes is this horse wearing? If they are rims your horse is sticking too much causing soreness. A Body wash after a run will eliminate from getting to sore. 16 oz. Of witch hazel, apple cider vinegar, green alcohol and half cup of absorbine. Mix with water in a 5 gal bucket. 10-12 feet distance for first barrel . 5-6 for second and 3rd.
