Angie Meadors: Developing a Young Horse’s Barrel Racing Style
Built to Last with Angie Meadors

15m
Angie Meadors works through how she develops a 3-year-old barrel prospect without trying to force the mare into a style that doesn’t fit her. With a naturally stiffer, lazier mare, Angie focuses on creating forward motion, roundness through the ribs and shoulders, and better engagement from the hind end so the horse can stay balanced through a turn. She also demonstrates her spiral drill, using progressively smaller circles to teach young horses to collect their bodies while continuing to move forward, and explains why she asks her horses to take more responsibility for holding their shape as their training progresses.
