Is a Tennessee Walking Horse good for barrel racing?
Definitley not. Their gait is definitely un-suitable for barrel racing it could result in minor or major injuries, most commonly a broken leg. And for the retard that said "rolling run," it is called a running walk. Well, most walkers are gaited, which means they have a rolling run that is usually slower than a regular gallop. Some are trained to trot, canter, gait, and gallop, and some are only trained to trot and gait. If youre doing it just for fun it may work, but not if you are serious. The 1st answer about breaking a leg is not true. Call the association. I think they are great for barrel they will blow the quarter horses away in walk trot class. Second post is correct. WHile I doubt you'll ever see TWH place top three in the world, they dang sure CAN give SOLID, performance around barrels. What many folks fail to consider is that a four beat gait is an EXTRA gait these horses possess. They can also canter, trot, pace, gallup etc, just like any other breed of horse. While they aren't built really for explosive performance over ultra-short distances like a quarter is, there are exceptions, and any fairly substantially built Walking horse can scare some quarter horses in the cloverleaf. And I haven't seen where they are ANY more prone to leg injuries than any other breed.

Is barrel racing harder than jumping on a horse?
Speaking from experience ( I'm a hunter/jumper ) jumping is much harder. While I believe both are dangerous at times, jumping horses ( especially stadium jumping ) is much harder due to the actual task at hand. Barrel racing is like the jump off round but without the actual jumps. As jumpers we're making the same sharp, pivoting turns while also having to jump over a standard that can be well over 5 ft high and we're having to do this while racing against the clock trying not only to jump the jump ( w/out horse refusing) but also jump it cleanly. Jumping is MUCH harder!

I know that horses need shoes to protect their hooves for modern use but why do horses need shoes when they never did before man got involved?
Horses that compete in shows require shoes for the horses own well being. Before humans began domesticating horses, they were always able to wander wherever they pleased, which was anywhere where there weren't roads. Roads are much harder on a horses hooves than in the wild, where the earth was not compressed to be a smooth uncomfortable path. A horse that uses roads without horseshoes can become lame, have their hoof split, and other dangerous mutilations that could lead to putting a horse down. Now though, horseshoes can be replaced with equine boots, though a horse has to get used to them for a little while.

What can you do with your 5 year old hackney x cob with no riding school?
If you know what you are doing, you can do anything you want. You can go on trails, you can do jumping, dressage, barrel racing and other western sports- the possiblities are endless. While you may not be able to go to the top in some events because of the breed, (the only horses that really make it to the top in western events are mostly quarter horses, or other similar breeds) you can get a horse to do most anything to a certain extent.
