Wow! That's a great action shot!

Does that kind of launch whip the rider's head around? Seems like it would.

Just like in your jumping, you better be in tuned to the horse. Deep seat and all. So many riders get behind the horse and just hinder the movement. There were quite a few good barrel horses, but over reining and an unbalanced rider can really mess them up.
