Horse bolts during gymkhana game [01:24]
When I'm going to get the flag during a gymkhana race, Jake gets spooked and gallops off. It looks intentional but he was actually spooked and only calmed down once I dropped the flag. PLEASE NO CRITICISM. I was holding the reins in one hand so it was a little difficult to control him in a gallop and I had to keep turning him into circles to calm him down. No worries...
Gymkhana Play Day 2-23-13 helmet cam [02:54]
Using the GoPro Hero 3 White edition, I give you five events I ran with my horse, Drummer. The camera's quality is AMAZING, unfortunately, when I went to edit it, rendering the video out proved to be a challenge, so the little horizontal lines were from the computer, not the camera. Events ran (in order of clips): Cloverleaf Barrels California Speed Barrels (or Speed Barrels...I've heard it both ways) Speed Ball Bi-rangle Single Stake I don't quite remember the times on each event, it was more for fun. Drummer is my all around western horse, so we just wanted to let our hair down and have fun...despite the wind being horrific.
Last Barrel race of the Winter series! [00:39]
My boy did awesome! I love him! I think we are understanding each other more and listening to each other more. But anyways, the race... of course it started raining hard before our real race, so that's why I took the turns wide. I wanted to be safe since a lot of the pro barrel racers were slipping and knocking barrels. I figured my greeny should take them a bit wide! haha! but we did a lot better then the other two races. We always have problems with the first because Diamond is a pretty "hot" horse, so he gets all worked up going to the first barrel and makes them really wide! We ran a 22 something! haha! but pretty good since I've only been training him on barrel for a few months. I love my greeny is worth everything we have to go through! ....tho... it would be nice if he was a little less hot..... hot! jk! He is the best horse ever!
