| I really hope Bo and Taylor can keep their momentum moving from top of the ground to bottom of the ground.
I wish I had a stable full of Bos and Stingrays!!! So smooth and fun to watch! They certainly make it look easier than it is! |

Location: MI | I think in the last Barrel Horse News mag they talked about the 2, and had mentioned that Bo had a different registered name prior to Taylor getting him. I don't remember what it used to be, but I had to laugh, because his current one is definitely more "distinguished"! I agree though, they seem like a great pair!
(I totally could be wrong that Bo was the horse with a different reg name....I don't have the mag in front of me, but I think it was him) |

| Awesome thank you! I didn't realize she did so good at Ft. Worth, I thought you had to qualify for Ft. Worth but I was looking on the WPRA website and looking at the ground rules it sounds like they just take the first 210 cards entered?? Uggh I hand to those girls for just getting entered, it all seems so over whelming. I heard Taylor does her own entering also, kutos to her!! |

I know, but people were talking about her 13.49 and it was on the top of the ground, first out. I wondered if she could get faster at the bottom. The 13.77 wasn't faster. :) |

Here ya' gohttp://www.barrelracingreport.com/issues/2_12_13_BarrelRacingReport_HighRes.pdf He was bred by Shomaker Farms (Jayma Jo Shomaker is a barrel racer & show producer in this area. ) of McKenzie, TN, where Bo's sire stands. Tim Morris & Jamie Sellers of Pontotoc, MS bot him. Tim broke & trained him. They sent him to Marnie Loosesnort to futurity him & she puchased him shortly afterwards.

| I kind of like the first name. I had a couple with Devil in their names and lots of people balked at that. I thought it was catchy. I guess I'm not as superstitious as other barrel racers. LOL!
Good for her! Living the dream. |

Marne is a hell of a hand. I had a 4 year old I was going to send to her, but I sold the mare before I was able to. I may not be able to afford her now!  |

I wondered the same thing:) Also, did King of Jackies always run left? For some reason I think he has been a right handed horse until recently? |

It is easy to do UNLESS: the horse has an AQHA performance record, has been bred or if a mare, has APPEARED on a breeding report. |

Did you see her interview where she said he is moody, sometimes wanting to be petted on and other times acts like a wild man. Taylor said before one of the rounds she won it took both her and her mom to get him saddled he was such a handful. She went on to say her it never ceases to amaze her how he can go from wild to all business as soon as he hits the alleyway, she can feel him starting to focus and get ready to run. |

No, end of October or September I think is when she switched. Not sure what's going on but she's been having issues with him since around that time. I sure do hope she is ok and they get everything figured out, he is an awesome horse and Jackie is a hell of a jockey! |

Location: La Vernia, TX | Horses don't have to be crazy in the alley, just the same as rope horses don't have to be nasty in the box. It's all about what you're willing to put up with. Most people "telegraph" their anxiety to the horse and it becomes a ritual. |
