Once, you get on the horse you should flex the horse to each side, do side passing each way, and do other light reining exercises. Then, start galloping in circles, small and large, and transition into loping, be sure to do this both ways.
Completing all of these both ways of the horse is very important during the warm-up, because you want to get all the muscles working and going. The horse needs to begin the actual training session within several minutes after the warm-up is completed, if you wait too long you will need to do more warming-up. The actual training part itself will need to be tailored with exercises that meet the requirements of your horse.
It needs to be designed to know their specific skill set, so you know what areas of strength and speed need to be improved. The drills you so choose will need to increase the speed of the horse and the strength. Working different muscles can help build strength and doing footing exercises will help the horse be able to move more quickly and hug the barrels better. Whatever drills you choose to do during this time should reach the goals you set earlier, but you need to make sure you are gradually increasing the workload.
If you are not careful with this aspect of training, your horse is going to get over-worked and develop great fatigue, which will in return lead to injuries. The last part of your training should be a cool down. There are several different ways you can choose to cool down your horse, but I prefer trotting for five to ten minutes, then walking the horse for another ten to fifteen minutes.
Although, these cool downs can be an easy step to skip, they are extremely important. During intense exercising, there is a buildup of lactate, which is known to make muscles fatigue.
By cooling down, the rate at which lactate is removed from the blood and muscle will increase. Barrel racing is a very exciting sport—for both riders and spectators.
