I have a horse that is 10 yrs old and I would like to get her started on barrels, do you think she is to old to train. I have had several people tell me that. She is very nice to ride and learns quick. Who do you think would be the best trainer around this area (Dallas / Ft. Worth).

Hi, my name is Randi. I have an APHA gelding that is 2 turning 3 next May. I have a horse show in September and I was wondering if it was too early to take my horse and walk/trot the barrels. If this is to early would you be able to tell me when I should start training him. Thanks so much for your time.

I have a 20 year old gelding that made a lifestyle change from western pleasure and trail to barrels about 2 and 1/2 years ago. He has really started coming on and inhaling the barrels. Here recently, especially in arenas with solid concrete walls he has started slamming on the brakes about two to three strides in front of the second barrel.

I have never rode a mare with a colt before and am not sure where to begin. I live in the country and have miles and miles of open country to ride in. I cannot tell you both enough how much I have learned attending your clinic’s so the old saying you can’t teach an old dog new tricks does not apply.

I have a 4 years old mare. I have your book and really enjoyed it. I have been riding horses for over 10 years. I have never done barrels and really would like to do barrels on my 4 years old mare.

ok i have a 9 yrs old quarter horse and i was wondering if she was too old to run barrels? she learns quick and is in great condition? im just wondering if she is too old too do it and don’t want to risk hurting her!
