In the east (of the Mississippi) I would say that men top the divisional barrel racing, or at least split it, with women.
Yep here in SE Louisiana there are quite a few guys entered capable of winning any given day. |

streakysox - 2019-02-13 2:06 PM The only drawback is the weight. It is hard for a 160-180 pound man to compete with a 90 girl on an otherwise even playing field. I have a lot of friends of the male persuasion that run in the top of the 1D.
I wish I was a 90 pound barrel racer  LOL, I kid of course but had to.
Well, I wish I was a 90 pound barrel racer too. Heck, I wish I was a fat 1D barrel racer. Haha. Just isn’t happening |

Location: MN | Brett Monroe and Kebo Almond come to mind as well. I grew up running against them, as well as the Green's and Craig Brooks. I think they have all gone to show what they can do for and in the industry! Winning the World, making it to the American, etc.
As for bloodlines - My Corona Cartel/Bully Bullion is really impressing me. I'd take a handful of them if I could!

Location: South Dakota | lonely va barrelxr - 2019-02-13 1:29 PM Go Lucky Dun - 2019-02-13 1:58 PM Lance Graves is an exceptional horseman, trainer and rider! One of the best in the industry!
He is also a great teacher. Loved his clinic. So kind and talented. Always happy to help. Love his smooth and easy handed style.
There are lots of men that run barrels and are very successful!
I'd go to one of his clinics if it would be within say an 8 hour drive!! Truly talented individual.
Agree! |

I'm sure it all comes down to Bear's post on pg 1 about when he moved to Texas and heard a lot about male barrel racers being "well, you know." I'm assuming insinuating that all male racers are homosexuals. Derek D. has a long time girlfriend...Lance graves was (maybe is?) married and has kids, and I don't know enough of the rest of them to say.
Guess what?? Who cares! If they can ride and treat their horses good, I don't care if they are purple and tattoo'd and full of piercings. LMAO |

| Pete Owen, Dustin Angelle, James Barnes, Kelly Conrado..along with all the others named. I think there is a stigma in Rodeo still, but not near as much in the barrel devisional/futurity game. Tons of men out there that can take your money! |

What’s everyone’s thought, opinions on male barrel racers ?! Can men do anything substantial in the industry. And what is everyone’s current favorite bloodlines
Some already are and have been for a long time doing substantial things.
I dont have a favorite bloodline. I like trying lots of different ones. |

Lance Graves daughters probably weigh less than 90 pounds and they both are kicking butt right now. One is ten and one is six. |
