Pay attention to your horse. If you're both in tune with each other, it should go smooth. Remember that they are really sensitive to your moods, so try not to be too nervous.

Never barrel raced but tyre races were a fashion when I was a child: read on:
The Hoops Season.
It’s hard to think, for the modern child,
When we were young, what drove us wild.
For computers and those mobile phones,
Are never likely to break bones.
Each year, just as the seasons came,
We boys would play a certain game,
The one that I will tell you true,
Is Hoops, and what we used to do.
A bicycle wheel with the tyre removed,
Was not so bad and so it proved,
A car tyre – never big enough,
But a lorry wheel – now that’s the stuff.
Hoops was what we called the game,
And often ended with great pain,
For when the lorry tyre we’d use,
An unlucky lad we had to choose.
Up the hill, higher and higher
We’d roll the lad, inside the tyre,
Then with a push the mighty load,
Gathered speed towards the road.
Cars were fewer at that time,
So things were looking pretty fine,
Until the wall at the hill’s end,
Came much too soon before the bend.
Each lad, he had to take his turn,
And with each run, he had to learn,
How to make the tyre brake,
Before he reached the road and gate.
‘ Till blood was drawn, or bones were broke,
We treated this game as a joke,
But then we’d tremble with great fear,
And stop the nonsense for another year.

Like the sport. Don't know much about it, but I say watch doctor dolittle 3 if you haven't yet. I is a good movie and has a girl that barrelraces in it. The only word of advise I can give you is just have fun with it. If you win that's great, but if you lose It is not the end of your life, hence why I say just have fun.

Stay inside the barrel and don't eat a lot before your competition. Not only will it make you lighter and the barrel roll faster, but you're less likely to be sick while spinning around inside of it.

yess! its fun. iv done it. just make sure you dont go faster than the person in front of you, then you'll fall and your partener will fall, and then lose. just kinda urge the person in front of you to go faster if you're holding them. the person weelbarraling the other person is just there to hold them. now if your the weelbarrel, your the main part of the race.
