Start off with barrel racing lessons first if possible. If not possible, the second best thing would be to get some videos and books and study up on it. Then if you decide you really like it, try to get your hands on an older horse experienced in barrel racing. Depending on your previous riding experience would determine just how old he should be. for a beginer rider, you want to look into 10 year olds or older but if you have alot of riding experience, you could go for a horse closer to 5.

Is all your life by foo fighters good for a racing game?
First of all, its "All MY Life". Whether it's a good song for a racing game depends on what kind of racing game it is. I imagine it would be really good for something like dirtbiking or something extreme like that, but a song like "all my life" would be terrible with, say, Mario Kart.

The pattern for barrel racing is simple, and goes like this: 1. leave the starting gate and head towards the far side of the barrel to the right. 2. go around the barrel to the right and head up the the right side of the barrel that was to the left of the starting gate. 3. go around this barrel to the left, then head up to the right side of the point of the triangle and go around to the left. 4. race to the finish line!

How old is a horse when it can not race anymore?
when it died. A horse can't race anymore when it is permanently limping or has a permanent issue. If you want your horse to be seriously injured you can continue racing it. I have an Arabian who is 20 and fully capable of racing but when we trailered her the first time she injured herself and now has a HUGE scar. I would still be racing her except every time she turns the 2nd barrel on barrel racing she falls because the scar stretches and hurts her. I also have a horse over 30 yrs old and she is still racing w/ a slight limp. If yours has any serious issues you should stop racing it, if not you can keep racing it but when it gets to a point where it doesn't like racing or your not so sure about him/her anymore then you should retire him/her. Hope this helps!! :)
I am 13 and would like to start practicing barrel racing on my 18 year old Quarter horse gelding with an old ligament injury to his left hind leg is this a good idea and how do i fix it?
You should have your Equine vet examine the leg first to see if the tendon will hold up to the strain of barrel racing, if the vet gives the OK then you need to slowly bring the horse back into shape.
