very few good barrel horses have aqha points. barrel racers compete for $$$$, not points. Jeez have I said that enough times?


You are 100% correct. As just winning AQHA points & a ribbon just doesn't make sense when you can win lots of money to help recover ones expenses it took to get the horse to be a winning horse....

If I ran at AQHA shows, it was usually in the "Open" barrel race they had, where a lot of the entry fee was put in the jackpot to the winners.

I won literally tons of first place ribbons & trophies (high point trophies too) as a kid, I don't need any more dust collectors & more boxes packed full with ribbons, as I now & have for many years, train & win for just MONEY!!!image
