Answer 1

well to train a brrel horse first you get them used to doing a fast gallop then one barrell at a time u go around it make sure u stay as close as you can to the barrel with out nocking it over as your going around the barrel bring the horse to a canter when u make it around the barrel go back into a gallop and repeat as you practice this start at a trot the canter the full out gallop and keep practicing this if you have any question send me a message or even on just horse qusetions feel free to ask

Answer 2

You go in a clover leaf pattern around three barrels with your horse and the objective is to see who can go the fastest and if you knock down you add 5 seconds to your time. You can go either left or right first but, most choose to go right.

There are also many other patterns that are popular including pole bending and cones. Other patterns exist but they are not as widely used.

In a standard clover leaf pattern, there are 3 barrels.
