Can anyone give me info on this arena? Thinking bout going to the Wrapn up a cure race, never been there just wondering what the set up is like. Thank you.
Its a big covered arena with good sandy dirt. L shaped alley from the left. The times I have been there they have run a standard pattern but I know that other times they run a smaller pattern (15s maybe). The stalls are nice with big overhead fans to keep it cool in the summer! I reallly like going there and would go there a lot more if it was closer to me!
Now that I'm thinking about it it may have a straight alley. When I used to go there for HS rodeo/AJRA they may have just set up the alley like that with panels... maybe someone else can help with that? Regardless its a nice pen and I like going out there! Lots of parking too!
For the big barrel races like this one they should have alley set up with a holding pen and run it on a smaller pattern.
15.495 won the Open last year.
Small covered warm up pen behind the alley. Does get a little crowded with horses tied. Also have a pretty nice outdoor pen to warm up in.
