Barrel Racing originates from horse riding and is a timed rodeo discipline that demands speed, accuracy and agility. The handler & dog’s skills and competitive drive in this fast and furious event make it a crowd favourite. The dogs race from end to end of the arena at full speed while twisting and turning around a series of barrels in a cloverleaf pattern. The handlers have to keep standing behind the starting line, while giving commands to the dog and making sure the dog runs as fast as possible.

Black Jack DTC is organising a Barrel Racing Training Session on the 28th of May 2011 from 12-2 pm, near Boston Lincolnshire. This training session is one of our regular training sessions for this sport. It is suitable for absolute beginners and for people with a little bit more experience. We will go over the 4 different patterns that can be asked in a competition and you will have a go at the barrels. If there is time we might even do a little race! We have limited handlers places and the group will be split in total beginners and more
experienced handlers.

Costs: £5 per handler (no spectators please)
