Propably the best breed of horses for barrel racing are the Quarter Horse. They have the strong hindquarters needed in order to turn sharp corners and slow down quickly. They shouldn't be too young though, or they probably won't be mentally ready to run barrels. The best age for a full fleged barrel racer would be between six and fifteen, of course depending on the horse.
no they are not
because Quarter hoses have muscular hind ends witch makes it good for barrel racing and western riding
Yep! they are known for western riding and racing. they are the fastest horses under a quarter of a mile.
Some do, it depends on the horse and how good the trainer is. However, the best barrel racing hoorses are probably Quarter Horses --------------------------------------------------- it is actually called a standardbred. ANd yes, they can barrel race, some better than others but this breed is known for its versitility
Depending on the standerbreds temperament it can make a good riding horse. But is preferably a more 'Cart pulling' horse and trotting horses.
It all depends on how spooky and good they are with water and other horses, and how they react when they are scared. I prefer geldings, but it also depends on the rider
Gypsy Vanner Horses are cart horses. They have good temperaments but are big! They are good for inexperienced riders but I would personally recommend a Quarter Horse. I grew up riding them since I was 3 and they are still my favorite. Goodluck :)
They just aren't built for it. Quarter horses have the ideal barrel racing conformation, with their well defined hindquarters, they are able to jump into a run from the starting gate and turn on a dime. Arabians are not built much like quarter horses. They can be good starter barrel horses, but if you want to go to the higher levels you need a horse with the build of a quarter horse.
Quarter horseor most horses that are bred from America
Of course! Any type of horse can be domesticated. Paint horses are very often seen in the wild, but domesticated Paints are amazing Western riding horses, and are good in English riding too. Paint horses are actually VERY common pets.
To be any good for breeding, a horse should have excellent conformation, great bloodlines, a good temperament and be proven in the showring. If you breed horses that don't meet these requirements, you are adding to the useless, unwanted worthless horses sent to slaughter, or worse- neglected and abused.
sure you can! Se,if you are scared of horses,the horsewill feel tha and wonder what is wrong.And the horse will nover want to hurt you.You just haveto trust them and riding lesson is a greatstart!!good luck!
