i never thought horses could lean low like bikes.

Bah, the rider is artificially inducing extra lean angle by leaning away from the turn.

But that's how you barrel ride... If she leaned as well, she couldn't get as tight a turn around the barrel, therefore increasing her travelled distance and time....

Edit: Oops!!!

I should have known better...

I can see where you're coming from, but if it was like a motorcycle racetrack they'd be wasting precious cornering ability!

I guess we will find out the day the MotoGP boys replace the wheels with legs.

4 indepenant traction control devices with thousands of auto adjusting stability devices along with realtime yaw/pitch/roll countering calculator and 4 independant speed sensing throttle controls. Plus eons of evolved cornering capacity and technology.

and it has a mind of its own too. Unlike the bike though the 1hp machine may not nesscessarily respond to rider inputs, or may work without rider input altogether.

Umm. guys thats a woman on that horse. Men dont barrel race. A good barrel racing horse also costs about as much as a sportbike too.
