If I was 36 with back pain and 2 herniated discs, you couldn't force me to do barrel racing.

You have a life expectancy of 40+ years, and you will be living with the consequences of your actions for years to come.

While it is POSSIBE to continue barrel racing, I would advise anyone NOT to do this based on your history!
