Question: how long does it take to learn how to barrel race?
Answer: It's really does take approximately 2 years to train a solid consistent barrel horse. You will move faster if your horse already is broke, broke, broke. Walk, trot, canter, back, sidepass, WHOA, rollbacks, leg yields, turn on the haunches, bending, flexing etc. Barrel horses must know more then to go fast and turn.
