I am trying out a 17 year old seasoned barrel horse. She is really teaching me to go the next level from the younger class. I am 13 and competing with more experienced riders and horses. Trouble is she shoulders the 2nd barrel coming out of it.

I have found a special smooch-like noise that makes him run, but I am not sure if I should be pushing him. According to the trainer, he is mature as a typical three-year-old, but he is five. Should I wait another year or so until he becomes more mature?
Please help.
