Member Posts: 20	I recently started barrel racing but I have been riding horses all my life. My horse that I have was trained to shoulder the barrel so I have been trying to fix that. She is also super rates and it's hard to ride her especially when she is rating extremely choppily. However, since I am new to this I know that I am causing problems too with my body position. If someone would be willing to watch some videos of me running my horse that would be great. I will get you the link and post what time in the video we run. These are ugly runs and I am aware that we are extremely sloppy. So I need all the help and advice I can get.

Ride with this person as much as you can. Not just once or twice. These problems are going to be fixed in slow work, and you NEED an outside perspective of someone who is there physically to help you.

All what rpreast said..^^^^ You need to go to someone that will help you and take lessons from , someone watching a video of you cant help you you need hands on lessons. good luck to you
