We have added a super cool overhead visual view to Interval Timing.com this year. We set up cameras around the arena and instead of the camera moving, the horse and rider move around the screen. It isn’t really for sharing with your non-barrel racing friends, as it is very factual. This view should take away any and all interpretations you might be adding into your run. The Interval Timers tell you exactly how long it took, and the overhead view shows you exactly where you went and now we have REALLY amped it up with the “MY PATH” option, which leaves a yellow line where you went. You can see each footstep, your hand position, your body position and the horse’s body position through every inch of your run.
This to me, is ground breaking and something everyone needs to see, but I have come up against some interesting thoughts from Riders and one person actually vocalized it.
No one wants to be the “SCAPEGOAT”, ESPECIALLY not your horse.
Are you blaming your horse for what is going wrong in your run? If so, you have a problem. Like a huge problem, because unless you lost all control of your limbs, brain and body during the run, you are the captain, so need to be taking responsibility for how and where the vessel is travelling. If you aren’t the captain, you need to address that stat.
This trend seems to be coming from rider’s interpretation of what is happening, not what is factually happening
It is an extreme advantage to start basing your barrel racing quantifiable information, and learn to sort out the opinions from the facts. The best way to start doing that is to pull up the good ole 5 W’s & the H – Who, What, When, Where, Why & How.
Are you using facts to help yourself dissect your run or would you rather put your head in the sand and pretend. I hope you pick the first of the 2 options 🙂 If you would like to learn the FACTS about how your horse is BUILT TO MOVE, join our next session!
