Why do women only compete in barrel racing in rodeos?
Men compete in Barrel Racing, However, the reason they don’t compete in Rodeo is because they are discriminated against and not allowed to enter the event. Women compete against men in futurities and open Barrel Races, the evidences given about “center of gravity” have not been proven. LOL Men and women are equal in this sport. Barrel Racing is not about strength, it is about the horse’s and rider’s talent, speed and horsemanship. If you can’t communicate with a horse and he respond within a 1000th of a second, well, you will not excel at Barrel Racing. Horsemanship, I can’t say that enough times.
