1D horses are the fastest and set the “standard” for what the other divisions’ span of times. 1D – Fastest time of race. 2D – .5 seconds off of fastest time. 3D – 1 second off of fastest time. 4D – 2 seconds off of fastest time.
Q. What is the difference between 3D and 4D barrel racing?
Barrel racing can be set up in many different formats, but usually it is in a 4D format. Meaning, the first division is the fastest time, the second division is the fastest time plus half a second, the third division is the fastest time plus one second, and the fourth division is the fastest time plus two seconds.

Barrel Racing Division Breakdown
- 1st Division – Fastest Time + those who place in this class.
- 2nd Division – Fastest Time + . 5 second.
- 3rd Division – Fastest Time + 1 second.
- 4th Division – Fastest Time + 1.5 second.
- 5th Division – Fastest Time + 2 seconds.
Q. How does the D work in barrel racing?
The Divisions or D races are split using the designations: 1D, 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D and 6D. 1D class are run by the horses and riders with the fastest times. The fastest time is a 1D, then the 2D would be 5 seconds slower than the 1D time.
Q. How fast is a 2D barrel horse?
Thus, 1d: 20.00” – 20.49”, 2d: 20.05” – 20.99”, 3d: 21.00” – 21.49”, 4d: 21.50” – the rest of participants. I hope we clarified the essence of these notations.
Q. How often should I ride my barrel horse?
I recommend working your horse on the flat for approximately 30 to 45 minutes, 3-4 times per week. I’m a big believer in walking, trotting and loping in both directions, as well as circles and bending.
Q. How fast is a 1D barrel horse?
Divisions are determined by taking the fastest time ran by a horse on a specific track and marking that as “1D,” then setting the following divisions by adding set segments of time to the fastest time posted. For instance, if a horse runs a track in 17 seconds, then 17 seconds will be the fastest time of division one.
Q. How much does a barrel horse cost?
However, in general, the going prices for horses vary from about $2,500 for a broke trail horse to as much as $25,000 for a competitive arena horse.
Q. What is a good age for a barrel horse?
Horses start training young, they’re typically broke for riding while two years old, and start working on lead changes, and general riding cues at three. But working on competitive barrel training is tough on a horse. The best age to start a horse on the barrels is generally five years old.
