boots

people put these boots on their horses when they do barrel racing so if the horse crosses his legs over and hits them together the horse wont hurt his legs.

these rubber boots are called bell boots, people use them for barrel racing they are are also used in jumping and flat work. they stop the horses from hurting them slef. they go on thier front feet so that when their back feet hit their front feet they dont cut their feet.

the barrels

for barrel racing every one just use the big round oil barrel. every one puts their own covers over the barrel with the name of the barrel racing club. the covers also help when your going around and you hit your leg on it, it dosnt hurt as much.

going around the barrel

when you are turning around the barrel your carnt just run fast to the barrel and pull your horse around. you can break the horses leg if you dont prepair them to go around. you need to take then up and then when your at the barrel you need to slow down tell the horses your turning.
