I like barrel racing i had a horse that was getting good at it, then i moved out of my step moms and she told me i could not have him and she gave him to my step brother and won't give him back. When i wanted my horse trailer and horse my mom told me no. She did not want me to move out and now she has given everything that i had and bout like my sattle and everything and gave it to my step brother. My step mom did not think it was time for me to move out on my own. I lived with her longer than any of her real kids. It hurt me so much. I can't afford another horse right now or anything else.

[edit] barrels

How far apart should the barrels be spaced?


The barrel distances for a standard size arena (130 ft. wide by 200 ft. long) are as follows: from the score line (starting line) to the 1st and 2nd barrels is 60 feet. The distance between the first and second barrels is 90 feet, and the distance from the 1st and 2nd barrels to the 3rd barrel is 105 feet.<33 audrey


There's a nice diagram on Barrel racing

this article sucks, someone should fix it up. i would but im lazy

Ehhh.. Clover Leaf isnt the only type of barrel racing.

[edit] Edit

The entire first paragraph needs to be rewritten. It doesn't make any sense. __________________________

Yes, I went to this page to find out about barrel racing, and wound up laughing sadly at the grammar and structure. I added a cleanup tag so that someone who (I hope) knows both barrel racing and English can rewrite this article. StavinChain 14:06, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I have redone the Barrel Racing article! Hope it helps. --TTURodeoBaby 03:35, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

The first paragraph reads like a breathless endorsement of the sport


In response: It is it what it is, its not an endorsment its the sport in itself. If you were a barrel racer I am sure you would understand, but I take it you are not due to your lack of understanding and perspicacity. --TTURodeoBaby 04:01, 21 August 2007 (UTC) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TTURodeoBaby (talk • contribs) 03:57, August 21, 2007 (UTC).
