Barrel Horse Training
Kent and Beth Penland have been dedicated to the horse and agriculture industry all of their lives. Our approach to training is simple. We believe in good nutrition, great care and conditioning and a solid foundation on the horse.
Mason Penland is a dedicated equestrian. Barrel racing since he was 7 years old, Mason has won many awards and championships with his horses. Mason has won saddles and belt buckles and prizes with IBRA, NBHA and POBRA and Top 10 placing at the All American Quarter Horse Congress with horses that he personally trained himself.
Mason believes that a horse must be broke completely and soft in the mouth and able to move slowly and correctly through the barrel pattern before speed is added. "If the horse can't do it slowly and correct, it can't do it fast and correct."
