Veteran Posts: 262	Is 60x120 arena big enough to gallop a barrel pattern? Not looking to run a standard pattern. Thanks!

Lived to tell about it and will never do it again Posts: 5408	We are getting ready to do a 60x100. I figure that I can do some slow work in it, that is if the husband and boys don't try to fill it up with hay and equipment! LOL

Elite Veteran Posts: 865	I have an 80X120. It is definitely good to to school and hi lope the pattern. You can make a run, but the 80' width will have your horse on its game at a run

I would think that would cause more problems than help, Not if your going to winter rodeos in North Dakota!!! I've seen results where the winning times were in the 11 second range.
