Barrel Racing in the UK - Any Help?

[icklejem]

Can anyone point me in the right direction of any barrel racing events in the UK? I'm drawing a blank at the moment. Anyone got contact details of the guys who do it at the British Open? Thanks

I suggest that you might do better putting this in Competition News or New Lounge. Try emailing Grandstand Meda for contact details of those taking part at the NEC.

Sorry for typo - should of course be Grandstand Media!

I'd be interested in this answer too - I did a quick google the other day but to no avail.

If you find out please let me know, I would be interested as well - te he te he maybe the black beast that donated me much metal work will be taken off broodmare duty (was national barrel racing champion in NZ)

British Open barrel racing was great but no contact I'm afraid. Hartbury college have western weekends (great western rider+fan)
so my adult friend and I are going one weekend I can find out about it if you're anywhere near - they'll have everything barrel racing and all the stalls of western tack
