Horse Rodeo
Whats the best way to keep my rodeo horse in shape?
I need some really good workouts and other ways to keep my highschool rodeo barrel racing horse in shape. Out workouts consist of the usual circles at every pace, going throught the barrels slow. stoping, backing, spinning. Then a ride through the pasture for a cool down. But I can tell he’s getting bored. I know I am going to have to keep him in shape this winter in order for us to be at the top of our game next season. Any suggestions on what I can do??
i also barrel race with nbha and american west and many rodeos, i usually have something going on year round, but if i do get a break i use my horse to pleasure ride or just trail ride, nothing worse than a horse that gets burned out or becomes an arena idiot and can not do anything else, i let mine be a horse and do trails, it keeps them in shape quite well and gives their mind a break from the arena and makes a better horse, because when we go back in she is rested and happy and ready to compete and give me her best, have trained and rode barrel horses most all my life and this works good for me. i still take her into the arena for practice but i just dont overdo it and she stays happy when we limit our practice time and then she gets to go out and just relax and ride, horses will get bored many times, especially competing horses so try to give them a little variety and think about what you would want if the tables were turned. they get bored when they have to do the same thing everyday over and over. sometimes i will go in and just walk her around and do a little bit of easy loping and that is it. the next day i will go in and take a couple of easy trips around my barrels, a lot depends on the horse and their attitude ….the trick to a barrel horse is not just to keep them physically in shape ..but mentally too.they both go hand and hand. just let him practice lightly thru the winter with your basic figure eights and such and some trail riding and he will be fine, then start more when spring gets here as you get ready for the road..good luck
