You are frustrated which in turn is frustrating your horse.
Things happen in life and you need to just ride and enjoy your horses and start doing exercises to strengthen your body back. When you get back to where you can ride without pain and can be balanced in your saddle is when you precede with training. You're making yourself and your horse crazy. Your young and have all kinds of time to barrel race. Concentrate on getting yourself well and that includes physically and mentally.
Quit beating yourself up. Take it one day at a time and there isn't a better bunch of people to help your reach your goals.
The best teacher's in the world don't blow butterflies up your butt...they are direct. If I was needing an instructor...FatChance would be my choice as I know she wouldn't let me make excuses nor let me be a slacker.
Let's start over...

There is actually a NBHA clinic tomorrow at my saddle club. If I had the money to go I would, because its a really good trainer teaching it. I was going to take my chestnut, the one in the video if I had, had enough money. But I don't I tred selling crap ect nobody wanted anything so I am unable to go.
So, is that the deal at Everton? Who is teaching it? I saw they were having a clinic on facebook but I didn't see who was teaching it. I didn't think Everton was 2hours from Republic?
Google says its not what =O! The time I went there it took us two dang hours. Laurie Crane and someone else. Laurie had Littlebit last year and did a good job with her. Littlebit got sick for 6 weeks and I wasn't able to keep her training going. Laurie gave me lessons and now a lady named Jo Anna Pruitt is giving me lessons. |

Go audit it. Watch and listen.
I went last year, took my other barrel mare, helped us crap tons. I will go and watch this one for sure though. |

Joanna is a hand she has "been there, done that" and definitely not one to sugar coat anything. |

I know. I love her. She helped me with Littlebit last year in lessons and she works down at our gas station part time. So I have been going in and asking for advice and she's more then happy to help me. She held the clinic last year and realllllyyyyyy helped me then too.

Not sure what that meant.. i dont think my posts were being rude to her.I was stating though at clincis i expect it.. and seems on threads people always get upset and when no harm was intended.. they asked .. for advice.. and others give it..
If you were referencing my comment, I don't think you were being rude at all. I agree that I go to lessons or clinics to hear the truth and improve. My only point is, things can come across differently in writing than in person. |

 A Barrel Of Monkeys
Posts: 12972
Location: Texas | OK, here's my 2 cents.
I think you ride OK. And I understand about coming back after an injury. It really messes with your balance.
I didn't look for any lameness - I just watched how the horse is built and travels.
She has a short neck. Short necked horses do better going straighter into their turns. Cranking their noses around throws them on their front ends. If she were mine, I'd concentrate more on keeping her a little straighter and not starting my turn until your leg gets even with the barrel, then push her forward into her turns with your legs and guide her head and neck without pulling on her.
Good luck with her. I'd hate to have had video and internet 35 years ago when I was re-learning how to run barrels.

Yep. I'm pretty familiar with Everton's arena. I am 45 years old and have been to lots of stuff there over the years. It's about the best outdoor arena ground for several miles around. |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | How long have you had her on the pattern? She looks green and lost to me, you need to be useing your legs more, shes drifting off the barrel on the back side, hold her in with your outside leg. And I would get my hands down, your hands are really high going around the barrels. And with her being barefoot and on harder ground I would think that shes being a little sensitive in the foot department. |

A whole year. From April last year till now. She went to the trainer back in April, she came back sick with Strangles she was out for 6 weeks and the training I put on her kinda went out the door considering it was only two weeks of training. I haven't really begun to work hard and get down to it until about 6 months ago. All we have been doing is trotting and loping in between barrels. So maybe if I got her to an arena she'd do better? I have no idea honestly. |
