What does it stingy when?
when barrel racers say get the horses failure in to the turn or something like that? and what is an average good point for a barrel racer?
and what do you think are better at poles and barrels mares stallions or geldings?
When running barrels the horse requirements to drive from the rear around the turns and not pull itself around the barrels. If they can not drive from the rear they will lose relatively a bit of time.
As for size it will have more to do with the size of the arena in which the horse perform and how well that horse can rate and turn more then anything really. If you have a life-size horse it will do better in larger arenas. If the horse is smaller it will tend to do better in small arenas. There are always exceptions to ever rule but these are more of the norm.
As for riding mare stallions or geldings. I have always shown stallions and mares. I have never have a problem with either and I have haul a lot of miles with both.
Getting a horse's hind end into the turn is getting the horse to used it's back legs to push itself through the turn.
The average largeness for a good barrel horse is anywhere between 14 and 16 hands. As for the rider, it doesn't really situation. Horse height isn't really important either [it depends more on the horse's readiness.].
It doesn't really matter on gender much either. It's really freshly a rider's preference. Some people will only ride geldings because they are "more level-headed". Some general public like mares because they are sometimes feistier. Stallions aren't seen that much, except for within very large [breed or international] shows because they are too unpredictable and hard to control.
Answers: You want them to push themselves around the barrel. It doesn't business the height as long as they have the heart for it :D My horse is 12 and had never see a barrel until I bought her. For the past two years we've been doing western pleasure (and purely trotting and cantering the barrel pattern within between there) and and she L-O-V-E-S it, haha. She's only 14.3 and tends to knock barrels (don't we all, haha) but she enjoy it, I enjoy it, and we usually place 4th or 5th.
As far as gender go, I think that geldings are the best because they listen better and don't have as much of an attitude. Mare's tend to get an attitude, and I'm not certain about stallions (which are most likely the worst) because I've never seen one drum race.
when they say get hold of his end into the turn is meaning to get his fund legs under him more so that way it is easier 4 a turn so its sorta like collecting the horse b4 the turn close to sorta doing a half halt b4 the turn that way his legs r well below him.
height truly doesn't matter unless its in the horse u can enjoy a tall horse say 16.3 hands is towering and a horse that is 15.3 hands is still a good distance from the ground. its all in the stride of the horse. long strides make 4 more coverage of distance. small strides not so much. i enjoy found big horses like 16.3 or so its harder 4 them to really go fast next to so much leg unless they r on a race track. so its all up 2 you and wht u like.
and any horse is going 2 be pious at doing poles and barrels it doesn't matter wht gender. like one and the same r women better then men? are men better then women? it doesnt matter the sexual characteristics its all up 2 the individual to decide how good they can be!
stallions can b powerfully frisky and hard to manage some of them if not breed r fine.
mares can be really sweet but enjoy moments...it all depends on the mare.
geldings i find are awesome i got a gelding he can be super sweet and still act approaching a stallion people even ask if he is. he just think he is only with a gelding u wont have problems u might catch wit a stallion.
