But no more. This week we're working everyday, and next week my times are going back the other way.....:)

There ya go!

Fear's a normal natural part of me... I understand.

Have you had other horses that were runaways?

Not really, I've had horses that were harder to stop. I think only one time I was on a horse that just didn't stop. He wasn't mine. But I've always managed to get them stopped. I think it's just I've seen alot of barrel horses that were really stupid. I've always believed it was the training that made them that way, but I still wonder.

Mack is going to get a stop watch today, and we're going to practice, by first just timing me going straight lines. Just down the arena. That way I don't have to worry about anything but going straight. He thinks, and I agree that if I can see my self speeding up like that, then speeding up for the barrels will be easier. He thinks seeing improvement with real times will boost my confidence.
