Oh, I think you were speaking of Harley...
Well, yes and no on him. He would make a wonderful competitive trail horse, if I can get him to stand tied to a trailer. He'd make a great barrel horse to, just not for a "beginner" barrel runner. I can train him, and should be able to get "use" to his willingness to "go", but I'm afraid if I tried running him at the start, and always asking him to slow down, I'd train his "willingness" to go so easy out of him, and that wouldn't be good for a barrel horse. Harley is very very controlable, not a runaway, but he doesn't mind moving. I don't want him to lose that.

I was speaking of Harley.... It could be that you 'need' them both to do all the things you want to do ;~D
