Looks like 2015 is gonna be Sarah Mcdonald's year... Who is everyone else rooting for? I'm really excited to see who wins rookie of the year! Do you think we will see 2 or more rookies at the NFR this year?? |

Location: MD | When you look at what Sarah was able to accomplish last year without hitting the road until after Triple Crown at Perry on July 7th, it only stands to reason that if she can continue in the manner that she is right now, she's going to have a HUGE year!

Location: Cocoa, Florida | I think sarah and Bling are going to take it all the way to the NFR, that horse is a machine, I've never seen anything like it, I wonder how long it will last though.. |

Location: Stuck in a cubicle having tropical thoughts | I'm predicting that Sarah and Bling will be the 2015 WPRA World Champs and they are going to set a new earnings record this year. I think those two will 'do work' at the Thomas and Mack and maybe even set a new arena record (if the dirt is decent). They will be a force to be reckoned with for a long time. Sarah is already a NBHA World Champion. Like the poster above said, Bling is a machine!!! It reminds of the race annoucer for Secretariat in the Belmont, when he said he was a machine.
In my heart, I still want to see Lisa Lockhart win a World Championship Louie is the horse that dreams are made from. |

I agree, I've always idolized Sarah but watching her over the past year now I think she may be more then just your regular Nfr qualifier, I think she has BIG accomplishments coming her way.
I know it is still very early in the season and the big rodeos haven't even happened yet, this post is totally hypothetical and just for fun since we are so far away. |

Location: Online | Way too early to get excited. We will see 7-8 of the usuals, some probably aren't even in the top 50 yet. Then we will see 5-6 that have been there before and 2-3 first timers. A lot can happen between now and the last rodeo of the season. No reason to get our panties in a bunch now. |

Location: Peach State | Wishing her a lot of luck today at the American semi too! I think these big rodeos will give her cushion to let bling rest before the summer run. I would love to see her at the NFR. Also it's amazing to see how consistent they are becoming, they rarely hit barrels now. |

| Sarah to win it this year unless bling get hurts. Jackie Ganter for rookie. And Tori Williams will be up there this year in the top 15 too. Watch out for the East coast girls who wanna play the game! |

The 10 pros are the girls who finished in the top 10 after the NFR was said and done in December. |

Location: North Dakota | If Bling can stay sound there is no doubt in my mind they will take it this year! She is a competitor, she knows that horse, and that horse knows how to get the job done and trusts that Sarah will hang on for the ride. |

Does Lindsey have her permit/card? No doubt in my mind that she could fill it, just curious if she has. I thought she was going to Tarleton. It would be so aweomse to see all 3 McLeods make it... that would sure make hauling easier! lol Like the Wright brothers! |

I was a little surprised the first time I saw her too. I thought she probably just had to ride that one horse that way. Then she came out 2 more. lol This was way before Bling, and she was winning like crazy then too. It obviously works for her! |

I think they are set on waiting for Lindsey to graduate.. I would have to assume that since they waited for Katelyn to graduate and this is her rookie year.. I have no doubt that Lindsey's rookie year we will see all 3 Mcleod's at the NFR, there's another sister also, Jenna, and I always wonder if we will see her join them... They sure do have a lot going for them |

She has ridden that way for a long time I remember seeing her on her GC highly motivated horse, she is not a timid rider by no means, I wish I could push mine all the way around a barrel like that. |

BUT I still want Lisa & Louie to win a world championship! |

Location: Somewhere between raising hell and Amazing Grace | Don't discount Sarah with or without Bling. She has a harmful of nice horses. She's a hell of a hand with a horse. She's also about as kind and sweet of a human as you will ever get to meet. I don't doubt for a moment she will succeed, whether by winning this year, or in future years. |
