| My daughter had only ridden a 1d horse one time until she trained her own, green broke to squeaking into the 1d in 8 months. Now that we know her fading out of barrels is a "mare" issue they should be really solid this summer. Cant wait! |

Fading out of the barrels is a mare issue? That's one of the most ridiculous things I've heard on the internet or IRL.
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while, I'd say that should be your motto from reading your posts.

| The trainer we use has clocked in the 1D after just a few months of hauling and entering. She is very careful though and does not hesitate to throttle back her runs if she feels anything that makes her think the horse is not handling the pressure. |

Location: Oregon | Every good horse I've ever had was in the 1D within 6 months. But I have been extremely spoiled with good horses. Possibly I've been the blind squirrel myself. I know the first couple were freaks of nature since I didn't have a clue. |

Our horse gets sore ovaries and that causes her pain and she doesnt turn a barrel clean at speed.
And I do believe there is one nut on this thread... |

I thought you meant she was fading out because she was a mare, I didn't catch the reference to ovary pain.
I'd like to see the videos also. I love seeing naturally talented horses. |

I trained my first horse by hitting it on the shoulder with a whip to make her turn and I won money at WPRA rodeos on her. So those horses exist. |

 I've had 3.  One started winning horseshows 6 weeks after I started him and won 10 in a row before winning his first rodeo--he was a team penning horse before I got him.  One was winning and placing in good sized jackpots 6 months after I started him even tho he spent 3 of those months recovering from a stifle injury--he worked cattle for a living before I got him.  One I spent a year at home getting him trained because he had no previous job and he ran in the bottom of the 1d the first time we entered and started placing from there.  And another that was hitting the 2d 9 months after starting her and literally 90% of her barrel training was done at jackpots a couple of times a month because it rained a lot that year.
They train faster if they're really broke before you start and having a previous career makes it easier too. Â You start having delusions of grandeur about your training abilities if you start with the right horse. Â LOL
Completely agree that a really nice well broke horse with some "life" experience can hit the winner's circle quickly. Years ago I started an 8 year old on barrels after he had been a hunter/jumper and a rope horse -- he took to it immediately and was winning practically overnight. He was a sweet ride and if you just showed him what you wanted, he did it. Happily. Miss him. |

Location: Where the pavement ends and the West begins Utah | I have on that was running in the 1-D with only 10 outs. it is possible once you understand the fundamentals and have a really broke horse that makes the difference in all the world. |

| The paint in my avatar fell just out of the money in the 2D the second time he was run in an open barrel race. (by my trainer) His very first run in any open was with me riding him at the Josey Reunion. He had not been exhibitioned very many times before that. Just have an exceptional trainer and an exceptional horse. |

THIS for sure. The horse in my avatar was on barrels for 30 days before I took him to an ARA/IPRA rodeo. This was his first time EVER down an allyway--not even an exhibition anywhere. He won a 3rd. The first jackpot I took him to we placed in the 1D. However, he was 5 when I started him, REALLY broke, and had been hauled as a team penning horse.
It DOES happen--sure wish it would happen to me again, lol.
