[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1248948, member: 19938"] BF my sister ran PRCA for many years and trained a lot of nice barrel horses. I always rode her hand me downs, after they were good and broke. So I am not the trainer in the family, she is. I know a mild gag bit is popular with barrel racers, and I do have a bit that she had bought for me, that she loved. I will try and get a picture of it tomorrow for you. Great bit to elevate the shoulder. She always had me do a lot of slow work, lifting the shoulder with the inside rein and moving the inside rib cage over at the same time. Perfecting the exercise at the walk, then the trot before adding speed. They have to get so light that you can pick up that inside rein to elevate the shoulder at any speed. If they fail as you add speed, you have to back up again in you training. Lots and lots of slow circles, picking up and moving over. I am sure there are some awesome videos on this. These exercises are used for all disciplines whether it's cutting, reining ect.. So you should find a lot of info. [/QUOTE]
