Expertise

I can answer questions regarding barrel racing, pole bending, gymkhana, and also breaking in horses and any "problem" issues. I also know a lot of horse behaviour and horsemanship and reining. I also know a lot about riding skills, do's and don'ts, and overall riding position. Also, I know a lot about bucking and rearing problems and much more!

Experience in the area

I do quite a bit of barrel racing, overall. I also do my share of pole bending, and i have trained reining horses. I also do western pleasure classes and gymkhanas and I have also trained other people's horses. I also know a bit about English training, especially show jumping, since I have done a bit of that myself. But, including all this, I have only been around horses for five years, but I have done so many things already, including training, so don't let the few years bother you. I've been known to help many experienced people.

Organizations

I belong in the MBRA (Manitoba Barrel Racing Association) and HRA (Heartland Rodeo Association).

Education/Credentials

Been around horses for around 5 years, but would like to help more people and begin to explain about different things for different people.

Awards and Honors

I have received trophies for my barrel racing and once received a trophy and I was the youngest and least experienced rider there. I have placed a lot in gymkhana's and pole bending and also in western and English classes.

This is a situation where you need to know what's best for you and your horse. I personally believe in working my seasoned horse on the pattern a couple times a week to keep him fresh and reviewed. I have

Hey! So sorry I took so long to reply, life has gotten really busy for me. I had a very similar gelding that used to do this to me. It's hard to say what the problem is without really seeing what's happening

Hey, this is quite a complicated question because all horses are different. I've seen top barrel horses compete from a D-Ring snaffle bit to a comlicated mechanical hackamore. What I found useful from
