I ride horses western style. I started barrel racing a little over a year ago. I love horses, and when I ride I feel like I'm in another world. I love to run; fast. That's one reason I picked barrel racing;you get to run your fastest, and it's fun competing against people. Horses make me feel good. I think it's amazing how much a horse knows and how they can sense what your feeling through the reing, your legs and even your thoughts. They make wonderful friends/companions. The feeling I get when I'm around them is too strong for words.
