HOW IT ALL BEGAN

 

 

NORTHERN LIGHTS BARREL RACING was set up in 2014 by myself Sami Nash to encourage riders in the UK to take up the amazing sport of barrel racingand Pole bending. Its been a long journey but one that has been well worth it. NLBR is now a Event company specialising rider tuition and training horses. Since 2014  I have trained 2 World Championship Qualifier Teams in 2017 and look forward to training many more. I also hold a NVQ 3 in grass management / City & Guilds in Horse management & Equime Nutrition

Qualified Western Saddle Fitter

I have spent 15yrs travelling back and forth to USA training in barrel racing and continue to train so I am constantly up to date with training and learning barrels.

Barrel racing and Pole Bending  is a very fast sport and training both rider and horse can be a long road but done properly over time its one of the most rewarding horse sports .

Here at NLBR we take our time in training horse and rider from flat work to the pattern and onto competitions. Like dressage, show jumping, barrel racing training never ends but we aim to make sure you are living the dream
