Hey! I don't really ride barrels, so I can't help you, but I wanted to welcome you to the board. Jessi is from NY but I don't think she does barrels. Gaby does barrels, but she's not from NY. lol.

But welcome!

Hey, I'm the gaby they talked about. There are tons of barrel races in upstate new york. If you go online and type in New York + Barrel Racing I'm sure you'll come up with lots of options. If you find a small, backyard show to barrel race at your first time that would be key. Theres actually another site, called Amateur Barrel Racer, that people could tell you much more.

Here is the link:

Welcome to the site and good luck starting barrels Its a lot of fun.
