No that is NOT the Lone Ranger, it is Tyler on his pony Barley. He and Barley attended a barrel racing clinic on Saturday and he had a good time. Learned a little bit about his pony and a few good technics on how to have a good run. Entering the gate to a good, full day of lessons with a professional barrel racer!
This was the first barrel of 3. He practiced all morning before watching themselves on video during the lunch break.
Barrel number 2 and look at how close he is! On his way to teaching this pony how to do it right.
And on the the third. The one thing the clinician taught them was to remember,"Practice does not make you perfect . A perfect practice makes you makes you perfect." Meaning if you practice all the time wrong, then it does not make you perfect, but if you practice right and slowly, then you are on your way to a perfect run. Believe it or not, he retained that!I don't thin Mini McKinney will have to worry about growing out of that pony for a while, he comes from short stock!
You go Tyler, Debbie you'll make him a cowboy yet!
