Oops - Brake Failure!

This is why barrel racers tend to use combo bits.

In this case, it didn't help.

The heavy bits are to stop exactly this from happening. Great run, then see what happens when she goes back in the chute.


On a trained gaming horse like this you don't use the bit much at all...but when you do, you dang well need the brakes to work. (Don't worry, the kid wasn't hurt - I'm guessing somebody took the time to teach her how to fall off properly - and like a proper cowgirl, she got right back on).
