Training Horses Key to Winning Girls Barrel Races at Mesquite
Kay Gay, veteran trainer and wife of Neal Gay who started the Mesquite Championship Rodeo, explains that success in girls barrel racing hinges on horse training, timing, and keeping a horse engaged. She describes starting young horses, teaching pattern runs, and the value of varied arenas to prevent overfamiliarity. She notes entry fees and potential prize money and says self-training is often more cost effective than buying a seasoned horse. The Mesquite weekly races draw 15 to 35 competitors from Texas, Oklahoma, and beyond, with five of the nation’s top 15 hailing from Texas.
