Location: Texas | I'm not 100% sold on those barrels but they were good when horses hit them bad and then ran over them- no cuts.
I'm not going to lie I was very disappointed in my runs. Lucy and I ran a 15.1 in the warm up with mistakes so I was really confident I could improve our time for the qualifier. When it came down to it she cheated me bad at the first barrel and there wasn't anything I could do to move her over and save it. She doesn't do it often but she did it tonight. I guess she was just super ratey.
Poor Bunny...she ran OK on Friday but apparently my new saddle was doing something with her because she's started shaking her head leaving the barrels again. Thankfully my mom packed my old saddle so I switched in time for the qualifier. She had an absces blow out the coronary band of her heel bulb Saturday morning. She never limped and I had no idea she had one brewing. Needless to say I was proud she went out there and tried as hard as she did. But oh well. Not what I had in mind. |

That was my take on it too, little off on the first so out of whack on the second, plus this was a lineup of horses that one or two extra steps and you were out of it. They were all asking for every ounce their horses could give. Some amazing riding too saving some barrels to make the top 10. |

Lauren I know your take is right on on what happened with your runs. But I would like to say I have run in the pen numerous times and have watched what seems like thousands of runs there. There is a certain place in that alley (the alley being so wide) that you need to start from to get a good turn on the first. I am not saying that All horses need that spot but I promise you most do. And if you don't get started from that spot it messes your first barrel up in so many ways. Then the domino effect, bad first leads to a bad second and on. I watched your run on Bunny and you were not in that good place when you started. So as far as I am concerned things were sort of out of your control. I think you are a hero to me. You sucked it up entered and did your best. I am proud of you and your mares. Just keep on keeping on. You are a winner. |

Location: Texas | Thank you :). They were real sticklers on the forward motion rule in the alley and had a 60 second limit on getting in. At small races I can take my time and try and get her where I want but sometimes she hugs up against the wall and I can't pull her off it. So between the nerves of me not wanting to get DQed and I honestly don't even know the right place to position in that alley...everything was out of whack. I would definitely go back to the pen! It would have helped if I could have left in time for exhibitions. |

It's awesome you even entered! As we all know in barrel racing, things don't always go as planned ;)
There will be more races, and you will kick butt! You have some very nice horses. Everybody has some bad luck sometimes. Next race will be your day! :) |

Glen Rose is my favorite arena and I do love having the hill there but my mare has blown past first both days and I run left. Today will be better...I hope! Anyway, you've got some nice horses and you are a great rider. Chin up girl! |

She is a wonderful person! I am so happy for her! She won some good money too in the main race and in the BBR side pot! She's had her palomino gelding since birth and I think it's amazing how well she can train a horse. She stamps everything she trains. I also think its great how well her sorrel gelding is. He overcame a bad bad laceration that was almost career ending..I'm so glad she and him are doing so well!! |

Me too. I remember back.....lol........when you had made a smokin run in that pen if you had between a 15.2 to 15.4. So much for those days. I swear all the runs I saw everybody was giving it everything they had. Congratulations to all who entered. That was one tough barrel race. And yes Congratulations to Grinnbearit. You were awesome! |

| I was curious about the plastic barrels so this morning before the race I went in the arena to look at them. They are heavy, just as heavy as the metal. I hit the 2nd hard on one of mine today, had shin guards on and still have a bruise-barrel stayed up. I saw lots of barrels that were tipped and these barrels would have that slow motion fall just like the metal barrels do, where they just kind of hang there for a moment before deciding to go on over and ruin somebody's run. |

Wow Lauren! I said do it up good, but dang that is impressive! Your check is in the mail sweet pea! ;-)
But on a serious note… That is one of the sweetest things anyone has ever said to/about me, and it is so humbling that you would think that. And like I've told you in the past - God has a plan, He knows your heart and things will happen when they are suppose to happen. In the meantime, keep getting up and suiting up, knowing that He has started a work in you that He will see come to pass.

That 2nd took a beating! I was watching from right behind it and some of the girls approaches were a little off and some were just trying to turn it tight. The majority of the horses were HUGE and they were running as hard as they could so very little or no time to correct or adjust. I saw some amazing moves to save barrels too, incredible riding. |

There were some SERIOUS moves made. I know I saw one gal set back up all three barrels. It just seemed like the second was giving people an especially hard time. It was one hell of a barrel race, that's for sure. I'm thinking I'd like to drag my butt to TX next year to watch a qualifier! |

If it was a giant palomino that ran to the left, that's Orville and he might be the ratiest horse on the planet. Every time I've seen her run him, she's had him in a pretty light hackamore. When they make a clean run, look out. I want to say they ended up 18th in the world last year. He is amazing to watch. |

| Two of the top 10 or a 9 year old and a 10 year old. Obviously the parents have them mounted but these little girls can ride. They both were hustling, giving cues, turing and looking to the next barrel- definitley not just along for the ride. During the 5D I ran after one of them, her horse was a handful in the alley- not refusing but excited, hopping around, spinning, etc. she had no problem geting him straight and going foward, did not need her parents to lead her in. It was a blast watching them run. |

I bet we were sitting right by you.... I was down about 10 feet from the 2nd.
IT WAS amazing.. I would buy a dvd of the entire race. It doesn't matter what kind of barrels they use in Glen Rose, there's always quite a few down... I've smashed my fair amount.
You've got to nail your approach from the alley and it can be a little bit tricky. You're going straight into kinda tall white walls and horses get ratey. Ground is a tick on the deeper side.
All that said, it's my favorite pen to run in, I love it there.
Lauren - keep your chin up! You did great and ought to give it another go in Jan. I've never seen so many tough runs at any barrel race....ever!
