[QUOTE="Ojp6, post: 1248949, member: 23608"] I think somebody who can really take control of him should probably get on him for a couple rides. It would probably be good to really pick up his head coming into the barrels you're having trouble with and keep him a little wide so he can't dive at the barrel and then when you bring his head to the inside hit him with some inside leg so he doesn't just drop down and hit the barrel. If you can get her to hold him up so he can't dive at the barrel he shouldn't drop it as bad. Barrel racers always want you to have a pocket coming into the barrel and then really come around close on the way out. They say if you make a horse stay away from the barrel coming in and don't let him get right next to it until they are leaving they can't dive and drop their shoulder because you are keeping them up with your hands and your feet. I'm not going to pretend I'm a barrel racer or that I really know what I'm talking about but I had little sisters that thought they were going to be barrel racers for a while and I had to take them to a clinic or too. So don't take what I'm saying to be the correct answer. [/QUOTE]
