| What's that arena and facility like? I am making the trip to see a vet in Sturgis, SD on Thursday, so thought I might as well try to win some money too. What are the stalls like? How is the weather for my horses that have spent most of the last month in Texas?! Any info would be great, I found a facebook page but not much other information on it. |

Location: Northeast SD | Stalls can be inside a barn or outside in a covered shelter. The area is great, the run is indoors and usually has great ground! I'm guessing it is going to be slightly cooler in SD than TX and it does tend to get cooler at night (50's- 60s). Should be a fun weekend.. and the vets at Sturgis are great group to work with!! |

| Thank you! Is the arena big or small? Any idea what kind of turn out it might get? |

Location: Northeast SD | Im guessing there will be at least 150 runners, they have been advertising for it quite a bit. The arena is larger can easily fit a standard sized pattern in there. Also has a small warm up area inside |

| The arena is a good size, a little smaller than standard, I think. The turnout might be smaller than normal for a barrel race with this much added money. There are races going on in Bowman ND and Huron that might take some girls away. |

I hope they can figure out something better on the dates too. I'm going to Huron also, the SDBRA has had this weekend scheduled for as long as I can remember. There's not much stuff to go to up here and then they have to double up on a weekend. That stinks. I'd go to both if they were split up better. I love the pen in Rapid City. |

| Have the people producing this event put on many barrel races? I talked to one of the girls and I got the impression that they were pretty inexperienced... hopefully they have hired experienced help or they will be in for a long weekend. Got to give them credit for going big though. Hope it runs smooth. |

| Well here I am all the way up here in Sturgis,SD... and I am still very confused about this barrel race.
I cannot find a schedule ANYWHERE. Is there one? I have called and a girl told me "it will be posted this week". Ok well isn't it starting today? Does anyone know what is going on? The only information I have found is conflicting. I have seen it posted that it starts with PeeWees at 12 on Sat, and I have seen that PeeWees is at 1130? And I have seen it starts at 1, is that the peewees or the open? Is there still open riding at that arena tonight? Can you still buy exhibitions for tomorrow or were those all pre bought? When does that start? If any of you locals have any clue what's going on, please let me know? |

I will try to answer some of your questions as I understand what is going on. There is not open riding tonight anymore but they are doing just straight exhibitions. The people that had paid for exhibitions previously get preference (not sure how that works-they said different colored tickets) but there should still be plenty of time for people to exhibition tonight that have not paid for them previously. You can still buy exhibitions in the morning and they are starting at 6AM instead of 7AM. Again the pre paid exhibitions get preference and I think they had like over 300 of those maybe sold?
I believe the open starts at 1PM on Saturday. They have over 300 pre-entries and then they will run the late draw. I think you have to be entered for the late draw by noon on Sat. Sunday starts at 10AM. They reverse the order for Sunday again with the pre-entries and then the late draw. I hope that answers your questions. I have been trying to follow along. LOL! |

| I saw the pre draw, and I am not in it. But I saw 2 different draws one on the facebook page, and one on the website. Did they re-draw? Because the draw #'s were different.
Also, isn't the point of a reverse draw getting the opposite ground of what you drew the first round? Everyone on the top of the ground for the first run, gets the top of the ground the second run here... That sucks, especially for people that got bottom of the ground 2 days in a row. I'm really not impressed and starting to wish I didn't haul the extra horses up here. |

Yes they did put up a draw on facebook but I don't think it was complete because I know my numbers did change. I moved down 6 on one of my horses. The reverse order does put you on top one day and then the bottom the next. For example I am 241 on Sat. so should be first on rake and then on Sun. I am 74 so should be on the bottom. Are you supposed to be in the pre-draw? |

| I was not in the first draw posted. I am in the one posted on the website. I have 2 horses entered and have the last in the drag 4 times because of the "reverse draw". Why would they not re draw the second round? Who reverses orders for big barrel races? And then does it incorrectly? Sorry, all of this disorganization is really making me unhappy when I have no less than $5,000 wrapped into this weekend. |

I have put on plenty of barrel races, that is why I am SURE THAT THIS IS WRONG. It's not a question of whether or not they are being accomodating, it is a question of following very standard protocol to run things FAIRLY. I am not impressed.

I do not see your problem, reverse order is done several places and it works just fine! How can it be so bad? For example Deb Cox (sorry Deb I just happened to pick your name out of the list) runs #14 on Saturday so number 4 on the drag and on Sunday she runs #301 which is #1 on the drag BUT at the end of the day.
I think you're splitting hairs. Calm down and go have fun. I don't know how far you're hauling from but if you have 2 good horses to run and 1 that needs vet care, you are doing something right! Give me an example of unfairness here and I will chew on it, maybe I am wrong. Clear up the confusion for me. ND state NBHA race is run reverse order and seems fair enough to me. |

Dragging every 5 to my knowledge. Have never been there but heard it is deep sand. Which makes running at the bottom of the ground 2 days in a row extra frustrating. |

I believe I was there several years ago and the ground is EXCELLENT and shouldn't be too much of an issue. BUT that is old lady talk :) I hope it turns out better than you're expecting for you! I have a feeling that the pen will be able to handle that many runs and be relatively "fair" for everyone. |

Everyone else has a different place on the ground. I don't even understand how that outcome came about, but the fact is that it is an unfair draw. |

I don't have a bone to pick because I'm going to the SDBRA finals in Huron instead but I will say this. I've run in that pen numerous times and it doesn't matter if I've been top of the ground or bottom, its not deep IMO and the ground is great. My horses love it.
You mentioned something about this weekend costing you $5000. That's not the fault of the producer, that's the vet visit. Heck if you want to get technical if both times you run at the bottom of the ground you have a better chance of running a consistant time which gives you a good chance of winning the horse trailer. |

Ok, so why not call the producer and voice your concern. If that doesn't work, then ask for your money back and go home. Its not that big of a deal. Do I think its fair to have bottom ground both runs, no, do I think it was done on purpose to screw anyone, NO. It was an oversight on the part of the producers who are young and have jumped into putting on a huge barrel race with both feet. I can honestly say no one else has EVER put on a barrel race up here with $10k added, a horse trailer, and tons of other prizes. So I'm either going to cut them some slack and offer my help, or I'm going to keep my yap shut, but I'm not going to go on social network and complain. Be a part of the solution, not add to the problem. |

Location: Mayerthorpe Alberta | CheckItOut - I think if you have a chat with the producers you will feel better. It sounds like these girls are doing everything they can to put on one heck of barrel race. I hope you get the answers you need and that you have great runs and a ton of fun.
Please dont go to the jackpot with bad feelings and ruin your weekend. Good luck and hope things go well at the vet for you.
To everyone running GOOD LUCK!!!

Location: West River - SoDak | Just got off the phone with Maegan and Whitney, and the order will stay reversed as posted, but the rakes will stay in place so anyone that drew bottom on Saturday WILL be top of the ground on Sunday. If there are any more questions let me know and I will do my best to clear it up for you. As you can imagine those girls are busy today! |

That's what I figured they would do. I was so confused why there was so much uproar over the drags when they weren't even posted on the draws. The places that I ran that did a reverse order kept the drags the same. |

Location: western Nebraska | I went to this barrel race and it was a great race. They had a ton of entries and it ran off very well. I entered four horses yesterday in the late entries and they did their best to split everyone as well as they could. THey ran exhibitions as much as they could and it looked to me if you wanted one -you got one. The prizes were wonderful-even though I didn't win one! They had a door prize for every single rack-which I did win one and forgot to get it. My luck!! haha. Anyway hats off to a great weekend that will only get bigger and bigger as time goes on. Thanks for all your hard work!
Also I am sorry to everyone my horse ran in to when he had his meltdown today. I don't know where that came from but I hope it never happens again.

| What a great barrel race! Very nice people to work with! They put in a lot of hours. I had to stop by the office 3 or 4 different times and the people were great! |

Location: Northeast SD | Great event!! They ran 50-60 an hour and the ground stayed great throughout the whole event! And they made sure everyone was in the correct position for the rake. Goes to show that we can't jump to conclusions and trust our producers and talk to them directly... Excited to see what kind of $$$ is added next year and prizes.. Way to go Today's Horse Crew! |
