Barrel Training 4 Drum Drill part 1: So I've had some requests for drills that I do while training my barrel horses. This is part 1 of my 4 drum drill. Place 4 barrels in a square like pattern. Start at the walk then advance into the trot and then lope. Perform a regular turn around each barrel while keeping an equal distance from the barrel throughout the whole turn. Also maintain the same speed throughout each turn. Make sure you keep your inside rein up while using consistent leg pressure. Your horse should be wrapping it's body around the barrel in a C shape. They should have their head collected with their nose slightly bent towards the inside. Repeat turns as many times as necessary around each barrel. While leaving the barrel be sure to look towards the next barrel while keeping a straight line in-between barrels. Repeat turns around each barrel.. Make sure to switch directions. I am willing to critique your form while practicing this drill at home.. Just tag me in your video on Instagram :) feel free to comment with any questions! Enjoy! #barreltraining #barrelracingtips #horsemanship #barrelracing #4drumdrill #clfperformancehorses #horselessons #horsetraining #ridinglessons
