Location: Arizona		Sure looks like it to me, rodeowithjoker. He was on his left lead behind & right lead in front for the first few strides leaving 1st; right lead behind, left in front for a couple strides (when his hindquarters come back into frame) leaving 2nd; right lead behind, left in front on the way home.

cheeka77 - 2016-07-17 9:47 PM As soon as a young horse gets put on the barrels they should be taught to change leads from one to two right AWAY!  Something Ed Wright taught me...cone drills are good to work on this, saves you time on the clock having them come out of the turn and switch right away! 
That does make sense. Then not so much happening at the 2nd barrel and all they have to focus on is turning. And less likely to duck in because of the lead change at #2

Sorry just saw this :) Ill draw a picture and try and post! He would put a cone about 4/5 feet (also depends on how big your horse is) away from the first barrel and a little "up" towards the third barrel. Then practice loping a figure 8 between the two a bunch of times and make sure your horse stays engaged and doesn't break down into a trot. You may have to start with it farther away but it will teach them that after coming in they should switch right away :)
