magic gunsmoke - 2017-01-04 1:11 PM I often find myself liking the look of quarter horses started with a hunt seat background. My current barrel horse was actually going as a hunt seat horse, but was running bred. I found a grey cutting bred horse going as a hunter on Facebook the other day that I fell in love with the looks of.

This. Hunt seat and barrels are very similar. Soft contact. If you were to take a rider that can successfully compete in 2 events on the same horse in one day it would be HUS and barrels. The barrel rider is usually a bit too far forward a rider and hunter too upright, but it can be done.

Reiners often throw them the reins and ride with all legs and seat. It can take a bit for a horse to not over react when you pick up for a turn etc. They can't always keep forward motion when you ask them to ease off the throttle for a turn. But there are a lot of cowhorse rejects that make nice barrel horses.
