I have raced alot of good horses, but the horse I have now isn't quite how I would like a barrel horse.
My AQH Koko runs hard to the barrels, but turns the barrel and then kind of hangs around at the barrel before kicking up again and running to the next one. It's hard to explain. She'll kind of stand and turn at the same time, just for a second then head on. It really bothers me because she does it at Poles too and it makes me lose valuable seconds. It makes me feel like we'll never make it to the big leagues!
I have tried many bits, and I have found it's nothing to do with that. She doesn't do leg commands well, so I figure maybe if I get her to respond to them better, she will improve. Any suggestions? Please help if you can!
