Making a Barrel Horse: From the Ground Up

Posted in: Ask A Pro, Barrel Racing, Featured, Horse Training, Rodeo

The foundation of any good horse begins on the ground, and it’s something I do with any future barrel horse. In this video, Luna (Shesa Quick Dasher) and I will show you what basic groundwork looks like.

In the follow-up video I’ll show you what the ground work, looks like from the saddle on a green horse, and then in subsequent videos you’ll see what it looks like on a more advanced horse.

I hope you enjoy following along on my journey as I make a barrel horse or two!

Happy Trails!
