GET NERVOUS BEFORE YOU RUN BARRELS? (HOW TO CONTROL NERVES BEFORE A BARREL RACE)

Thank you so much for this advice ❤

Omg Thank you so much I am having first race chitters bc my run is tm and this helps so much! Bc even tho this is a local show it still has over 300 ppl running and alot of ppl ik! I am still so nervous but this helps alot!

Great video. Such good advise. I use to downhill ski race and I wish someone would have said exactly this to me.

Side note, kind of off topic but I’d love to know how you learned to drive a horse trailer. How did you learn to back up? It makes me so nervous I make my husband do it which means I’m super limited by when he’s available.

this is so helpful! i have tryouts for a rodeo team tomorrow and i’m praying i remember it all. i can do it!!

this video has done wonders for me i get so nervous and i just realized i dont breath i forget to breath and kinda blackout and forget my whole run i have a rodeo in a couple hours and i am so happy i watched this thank you so much!!!!!!!!

Thank you for the advice it was very helpful I just got up enough nerve to race again and I went to my first rodeo in 20 years . I ended up leaving and another chick ran my spot with my money. I’m humiliated. But I’m going to try again this weekend thanks

I wish I could bring you along with me! Thank you so much keep your helpful hints coming!!

i dont know if you will see this or no but i get really nervouse and nausis (sorry cant spell) but im not really sure what im so nervouse about i will get nervouse weeks before this helped a lot do you have any tips if your riding a horse your not super familiar with? and cant ride that often before hand?

Yesterday was my first day of practicing barrels a little faster than I used to do, to get more comfortable with the speed. And it was a complete disaster ... I was so focused on speed that I completely forgot what I had to do ... I get so nervous when I'm about to run.
And when I finish the race and especially when it wasn’t a good run, I feel more nervous than ever ...
I loved your video and today I will try to put your advice into practice. I really think that they will help me a lot.
Thank you very much.

I always freeze going to first and don’t push as hard as I need to or don’t check up my horse and we end up taking a trip to Mexico 😂. Then I get everything back and 2nd and 3rd are always perfect. Any tips for this?

I have a race tomorrow, so this helped a lot! Thanks!!

What breed is your dapple? And what is his name? Cause he’s beautiful.

My daughter is 13 has been riding since 6 and rodeoing since 7 running barrels and poles and has made hundred of runs but she still gets nervous. I still stay in alleyway with her to help her relax and check her tack and tell her her run is not that big of deal. I learned early on if I told her we need a good run for a check or buckle she would mess up but when I would act like it wasn't a big deal she would do better. She doesn't like the competition but just goes in and makes her run quiet and calm.

Hi! My parents are letting my barrel race as long as a wear a air vest. I already wear a helmet, but yeah.

Can you make a vid that is like a POV of you giving a pep talk for before a run?

I can't find the list of books!!! Thank you so much for this video! It's great! ♥️

I’ve stopped running bc I was so nervous thank you so much!!!

I seen your TickTock account and I came and watch this video and it has helped me so much

I am having an issue with Fear of pushing my speed after an accident that fractured my back. This did not happen barrel racing and on a different horse. I trust my barrel horse 100%, but when it is time to run, my mind gets blocked. How can I get past this? It is do frustrating for me and my horse! She wants to go so bad and I pull her up and she gets so angry at me! PLEASE HELP!

This is recommended to me 5 months later🤣😂😅

You probably won't see this but my problem is the speed. I am afraid of going too fast. I don't know how to fix it. Btw I love you so much your an inspiration.

I’m always nervous at rodeos because my friend was killed in a freak accident at a rodeo. Her horse spooked and flipped back on top of her. I’m scared that my horse might slip or rear up and flip over. But it’s only at a rodeo. I’m ALL FOR riding a bucking horse at home and practice, and I’ll go and make a GORGEOUS run at practice. It’s just I’m scared when it’s like 10 people away. Then in the alleyway I’m also nervous. But as soon as my trainer lets me go, I’m completely fine.

Wow! I thought I was the only one that wouldn’t eat when I was at a rodeo 😂 my mom would freak out bc I actually wouldn’t eat the whole week before a rodeo and my mom hated it!

I messaged you on TikTok about this. I absolutely hate bothering my trainer. I live in North Texas. Like in the same town as that person who sells your saddle sack. You never know who’s going to be where you’re at. I’ve had been inches away from NFR qualifiers watching my futurity horse exhibition. Now I have a horse that’s broke and more my speed while the other one is doing her furturity stuff with my trainer but I want to be both of their full time jockey eventually. This is beyond nerve wrecking and it doesn’t help that by virtue of being born where I was born I live in the same area of so many great barrel racers. I’m going to try these tips this weekend when I exhibition this weekend.

Great video! I think this applies to me. Thanks for sharing!😊🤠

Omg yes! I use to focus on not hitting a certain barrel and boom I would hit it every time! Great tips!

Mine is not having enough confidence in myself

Tommrow is my first rodeo and I'm running a haflinger cross arabin and people doubted me and her that we would never get there that she would never be able to run

I agree with @marina fernandes !! 🥰

This is so interesting!| I love how most of what you're saying also applies to me as a jumper xx

Very good advice!! I like how you put thought into it!

I don’t get nervous now, but as I get older I might.

Great video!! You gave so much great advice. Thanks for this 😊

This helped soo much thank you. Can you maybe do a video on how to get into high school rodeo?

Love it! Helped a lot!

Thanks for the advice

Thanks so much! I don't eat either until after I run. I used to get nervous and throw up but luckly I have out grown that but I still get nervous easily

Love this video! Thank you for helping! What app do you use to edit your videos?

Thank you great video I think we’ve all been waiting.😋😋🐴🐴🐴

I personally don’t get that nervous, but this is some great advice!!❤️
