This is true for the sports that require experienced horses. The roping events, barrel racing, penning etc all need very practiced horses that will help the riders get the lowest time possible.Originally posted by bignerd
Is there an article somewhere that posted the age of the horses? It seems to me if you are going to an event to compete for thousands of dollars in winnings, you are going to take your tried and true horse that you can count on since it is sort of a one shot deal, not a horse that is green.
