Anxiety is something many of us face—it's that uneasy feeling of fear or worry about what might go wrong. As barrel racers, we know the pressure to perform, to improve, to win. But what is anxiety really? It’s our mind and body responding to uncertainty or stress, often in ways that don’t serve us. And here’s the thing—our horses feel it too.

When we’re anxious, our horses can sense it in our energy, our movements, and even our breathing. They’re incredibly intuitive creatures. If we approach the alleyway with tension and doubt, our horse feels it and mirrors it back. What we carry in our hearts and minds becomes the atmosphere around us—and that atmosphere shapes our performance.

But here’s the good news: God didn’t create us to live in anxiety. In fact, He calls us to hand it over to Him. Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV) reminds us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

God tells us not to be anxious because He is in control. He sees the bigger picture. He knows the outcome before we even make the run. When we trust Him and choose peace over fear, we can breathe deeply, relax, and ride with confidence—and that calmness flows to our horses.

Next time you feel that knot of anxiety tightening in your chest, remember: God’s got you. Take a moment to pray, to thank Him for the opportunity to do what you love, and to trust in His plan. Breathe in His peace and let it settle over you and your horse. Together, you can run free, not weighed down by fear, but lifted by faith.

So, let go of the anxiety. You and your horse deserve to run with joy, with trust, and with the knowledge that you’re already victorious in Him. 🌟

For your barrel horses, anxiety can be a signal to problems going on internally. Always work with a trusted veterinarian (for me, It's the crew over at North Texas Veterinary Hospital) and you may consider DePaolo Equine Concepts & Horse Hair Analysis testing to make sure nothing deeper is going on with your horse, then figure out what they may need to fill in the gaps, whether it be a vitamin deficiency, imbalance, or they're signaling pain somewhere.

Another option for yourself, or your horses when it's time to compete is Deanna Harrison Certified Aromatherapist's premier line of essential oil products. She has multiple options that can help settle the nerves, focus you or your horses and help a variety of other problems you may face in competition or at home.
