Developmental Skills for Balanced Riding and Performance - Many of the resistances we see in barrel horse are actually problems related to lack of balance or physical strength to complete the task requested, such as sharp turns at a high rate of speed. Our goal in presenting these clinic exercises is to provide options for creating skills required in a run without the repetition of pattern work. A variety of maneuvers designed to create impulsion and collection will be demonstrated. The skills are universal to traditional foundation horsemanship and although not limited to the barrel racer, do help in breaking down appropriate maneuvers that apply to the Approach, Rate and Turn in the barrel pattern. Problem Specific Corrections -The elements of each barrel create several common performance problems. This presentation is designed to assist the rider with identifying and resolving the problems. Areas covered are identifying problems in the Approach, Rate and Turn and when and how to apply a specifically designed correction or skill building exercise. The clinic is designed to help the rider isolate performance problems that result in poor times or inefficient training and competition.
