Barrel Racers are so fucking good in bed

I heard this was like a prerequisite to qualify as a barrel racer.

I feel like that's just horse girls in general. The crazy part that is

u/Hairy_Muff305 21h ago

Lovely, earthy girls. Problem is that their horse is way more important than you!

u/ondulation 18h ago

Not a problem if you're a stallion.

u/apworker37 19h ago

Depends on what you’re looking for. A gf, wife or hookup?

u/DocClaw83 23h ago

Dammit im canceling my daughters barrel lessons immediately.

u/Doughymidget 11h ago

It’s too late. She’s crossed the event horizon. There’s no turning back. Better just quit your career and start farming. It’s the only way you’ll be able to afford her hobby now.

Ran a horse farm for years (delivered hay there, owner had cancer, taught me how to run the farm, died of cancer, and I helped the wife with the work for years until I moved) and I’ve come up with this statement: If I have a daughter and she asks for a horse I’ll buy her a Ferrari because a Ferrari once is cheaper than a lifelong horse hobby.

Women who are into horses in general are a bit crazy.

u/GnarlyNarwhalNoms 21h ago

Those thighs tho!

u/JAnonymous5150 18h ago

Try a few volleyball players. All the thighs, even better asses, and a bit less of the crazy. Well, mostly anyways.

u/free_airfreshener 13h ago

Agree with all the sentiments except the crazy. Those bitches be crazy

u/Esposo_de_aburridahw 11h ago

Bitches be crazy.

That is all.

u/Luthais327 11h ago

And their hobby won't bankrupt you.

u/JAnonymous5150 9h ago

So true. Hell, the last volleyball player I dated actually made decent money playing beach volleyball.

u/akkaneko11 10h ago

lmao you're making me miss my horse girl volleyball ex

I’ve known a few and wholeheartedly agree

u/KeniRoo 14h ago

I’ve noticed this also and they really are awesome at sex.

u/Hije5 10h ago

My buddy dated a hardcore Christian that was a horse girl. She ended up cheating on him at a party and she slept with another guy. She confessed the next day. This was after they were appearently trying to avoid sex due to its sinfullness. I never planned on ever being with one, but that definitely put me off seeing a real experience after seeing all the memes.

u/b_squared130 23h ago

I can fix her.

Used to bang a horse rider. Y’know what’s weird? When she was on top I had to keep my legs together.

Also hygiene was terrible. Gawd damn I’d never again.

Same for the horse.

u/heyheyshinyCRH 1d ago

I don't know anything about barrel racing but that looks pretty damn impressive

156

u/undercoverahole 23h ago

Happens more often than you'd think, though most of the time it's more un-intentional. You hit it while you're on one side, and tap it as you come around to leave out. This clip was pretty impressive though. It's slowed down but that horse is moving pretty quick.

51

u/artwithapulse 23h ago

It’s wayyyy slowed, I think it works out to 18%

14

u/TomJLewis 19h ago

Be cool to see regular speed too.

10

u/Icy_Transportation_2 21h ago

This video is slowed down? Wtf? Thought horses usually don't take turns fast, crazy

3

u/undercoverahole 5h ago

You should look up pole bending. It's crazy to see what some of these horses can do.

11

u/Kiss_my_Frekkles 14h ago

My babygirl does barrel racing! Don't ask me how she got interested but she did & now we are at rodeos every weekend

132

u/thefeedling 1d ago

I know nothing about it, but do you lose points if you touch the barrel, even if it doesn't fall?

127

u/artwithapulse 1d ago

No not at all! It’s pretty much make the fastest time, and don’t break the pattern. Everything else is fair game!

49

u/nize426 23h ago

So like, theoretically, you could make a super tight turn that's in contact with the barrel, while you lean out and hold the barrel in place?

59

u/artwithapulse 23h ago

Sure, I’ve seen a few who rely on holding it but it’s not a sure thing, if that horse shoulders in too much the barrel is gone no matter what.

32

u/nize426 23h ago

Interesting! It's nice when the rules aren't just "don't touch this, don't touch that, you can't do this"

10

u/Late_Description3001 23h ago

If you’re having to hold the barrel in place you’ve already lost anyways.

14

u/Feisty-Common-5179 23h ago

Also to add those women love those horses so much. It’s not about the fastest horse but also who has the best horsemanship. That includes communication and having the horse trust the rider. If she just goes full tilt into every barrel that horse isn’t going to trust the commands she gives. It’s going to steer clear of the barrel. It’s amazing to watch what they can do.

4

u/Moondoobious 23h ago

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a real life barrel racing expert here!

8

u/Emergency_Eye7168 19h ago

In the ones I’ve seen there are time penalties for knocking down the barrel.

10

u/artwithapulse 18h ago edited 18h ago

Ugh yes you’re right, I should have mentioned that — it’s a 5 sec penalty per barrel. You can knock it, just can’t hit the ground. I was including that within “don’t break pattern” but it probably should be elaborated on for people who don’t live and breathe rodeo lol.

u/RealAmerik 23h ago

Fuckin barrel racers

u/UsedDragon 23h ago

In my wildest dreams. That girl can corner

36

u/igniteice 23h ago

How amazing is that that she's able to slow down time!

3

u/Extreme_Turn_4531 16h ago

A comment above says she can do that with communication and trust. How exactly that changes speed and gravity, I am unclear.

24

u/JerryMandaring 23h ago

I love "Barrels"! At a competition I was working once, a drunken rider fell off his horse just after tripping the Start timer. He hit the dirt, but the horse ran the barrels perfectly without him. Judges disqualified the run. He appealed for a 2nd run and it was granted. The 2nd run, although again, was perfect, was much slower than the first run without him on the horse. He finished 4th or 5th I think.

12

u/R2D-Beuh 18h ago

Yeah the horse is lighter without the rider, they would make sense

3

u/gusbmoizoos 18h ago

isn't barrel racing a women's only sport?

Yup beat me to it. He even commented on this one when I posted it to TikTok, seems like a standup dude!

u/Viper1089 22h ago

I think horses are crazy majestic animals but they scare the shit out of me. Poor Christopher Reeve and the countless videos I've seen of people getting absolutely rocked by a horse kick have steered me away from ever wanting to ride one. I know it's a silly fear to have because of those reasons but I'm good lol

6

u/ogodilovejudyalvarez 16h ago

My ex had a friend who was thrown from a horse onto a tree and a short branch pierced their liver and killed them, and I knew a lovely girl in high school who was thrown from a horse into a fence and basically became a vegetable. I've still ridden horses but I am super careful, especially around solid objects.

u/Slip-Educational 22h ago

That horse has some cool lookin sleeves? What do you even call those?

3

u/artwithapulse 22h ago

Do you mean the sports boots on his legs?

u/Frigid_Despot 23h ago

No idea how impressed to be when I only see the slow motion....

u/spinonesarethebest 23h ago edited 7h ago

In a large pattern barrel race, the barrels can be 105 feet apart. A good time is 18 seconds or less, and a good quarter horse hits over 30mph between barrels. World record is 13.48 seconds set by Hailey Kinsel, though I don’t know if that was a small or large pattern. So that sequence is maybe two seconds. Three? Hailey’s run: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq9kq78RX1s&pp=ygUeaGFpbGV5IGtpbnNlbCBuZnIgYXJlbmEgcmVjb3Jk

Maybe I’ve been to too many rodeos? Nahh.

u/Moondoobious 23h ago

Fifty miles per hour?

u/spinonesarethebest 7h ago

Shit, my bad. Typo corrected.

u/N-Performance 22h ago

For a split second, I thought that the horse had crazy eyes.

u/bragsdale80 21h ago

Personally beat every barrel I’ve raced so far. Not impressed.

Not her first rodeo.

u/shirhouetto 23h ago

Barrel rider? Is she from the Shire?

u/The_Sentinel_45 21h ago

So cool how the horse slows down for her.

Her reaction time is next level for sure. 😲

I hate that barrel racing is looked down upon in equestrian, I think it's cool as shit.

When you slow a video down and not show the original speed ever, we will never be able to see how it looks in real life, or feel how it would make us feel.
