Elite Veteran Posts: 614	I need some tips on sitting a horse that leaves a barrel hard. He has the thing where he plants his inside foot about 3/4 of the way around the barrel and pushes off hard. I have never rode a horse that leaves a barrel that way and it is popping me up and leaving me behind. I hope that makes sense Really it is more horse than I am use to.

When your leaving a barrel, you should be pulling your body forward and looking to the next barrel. (aresized.jpg) Attachments ---------------- aresized.jpg (50KB - 148 downloads)

When you're working slow think about it every time, at every gait. Make yourself think about it so much that you don't have to think about it anymore it's just a habit to get forward?
