She is 15 hh and has a huge stride, seems to be cool headed, and easy going? How are your propects going on the pattern with Jet of Honor breeding? Can they run?


This is her pedigree.

I have a 10 yo gelding we bought about 4 years ago who was started on barrels - he has some pretty good times on him and a great natural head set -

He gets really out of control when it comes time to go into the arena - I have tried to use the method of turning him into several cirlces until he decides he'd rather go forward then turn tight circles, that worked for a little bit - i walk him in and out of the area without working the barrel pattern, we go on trail rides, haul him different places besides barrel events, but once he figures out he is going run them he is a spaz. we usually end up having to back him in and then after we are done with the ride he wants to go back to the trailer. I've walked him the opposite direction of the trailer several times but once he gets somewhat close he finds away to get over there -

even turning the small circles he will still find a way to move the direction he wants to go - even if it involves running into a trailer, truck or another horse - so its getting to the point where it is unsafe at events for others and us - i'm willing to take the time to win this battle but again when it comes to the safety of others and their property i do not wish to subject them to that

we've even given him a two year break off of barrels

thank you for any input you may have

Okay, second problem. I am sure EVERYONE is having this problem right now. Money..... need I say more? I am currently attending 2 separate colleges. One is online and one I commute to daily. It is 45 minutes away. So my entire paycheck (little as it is) goes almost completely towards putting gas in my car. Luckily my parents help me out when I need it, but I owe them at this point. Especially since my car broke down and is going to be at LEAST $500 to fix. I'm just wondering what everyone does for extra money??? I have ways of getting extra money through my litters of puppies, but none of my dogs have been bred in the past year or so, so they're not helping me much at this point. Another thing I do is build websites, but usually only for family/friends, so this doesn't bring in as much as it should be because I try to charge them as LITTLE as possible.

Does anyone have any luck buying/selling tack at local shows or on Ebay? Could I get some different wholesale dealers to order from that are good? I've wanted to get into this for a while, but I guess I just never got around to it. I am sure I could borrow the money from my parents to get myself started.

Any other ideas would be great, too. I just need enough money to support my habit (barrel racing at least 2 weekends a month).

Thanks guys!!!!]]> Sun, 05 Oct 2008 16:37:28 -0500 http://forums.barrelhorses.com/index.php?showtopic=47006690 Barrel Racing http://forums.barrelhorses.com/index.php?showtopic=47006784 Thank you so much!
