Location: Texas | What's the scoop of the Kendra D hosting the WPRA show on RFDTV? Just saw a little video clip on Facebook and thought she did pretty well.

Location: Texas | Someone from the WPRA Today replied to post on Facebook that they were going in a different direction. I will probably still watch the show because, well, it is about barrel racing. I don't think they will pick new viewers by going with Kendra. I already didn't like the little video clips that they have shown on Facebook because she seems to be self promoting her horse business. |

Location: TN | I thought last night's show was good. She does seem to be talking a lot about herself but maybe that's because it was her first show and they wanted to introduce her. |

| It seemed like they changed the host, but kept every single detail the same. Her clothes, the background, the commentating style, EXACTLY the same, IMO. Maybe these two ladies really are that similar, but it really wasn't as refreshing as I was hoping for. I guess I am just old school and could do without the blingy, Charlie One Horse, look. I feel like it takes attention away from actually listening to what she has to say. I WAY more enjoy the interviews with the individual girls entered at the rodeos they show. They look like they have acutally been out brushing, saddling, and working with their horse, and I like listening to their strategies for the different set-ups and getting more back stories on the equine athletes. |

Location: Texas | You are exactly right. Didn't really get the 'going in a different direction' when the only thing they changed was the host. They should have just said they thought it was time for a new host. |

I have first hand knowledge of Kendra... she bought a horse from me at a horse sale cheap. She was cripple and I just needed to get rid of her, didn't put anything about barrels in her ad at all, but it was pretty obvious with her breeding I guess. She was finished pretty decent, but I never ran her because when we started adding speed her issues were obvious. So I sent her to the sale to try and recoup a little of my money.
Kendra turned around and sold her a couple months later as a 1-D horse with a "slight" first barrel issue...yeah right.
Since Fallon's name was also thrown out there, I will say I know a girl who was so happy with her horse purchase from Fallon, she went back and bought another. Two really nice mares.

I can't say anything about Kendra other than she seems to me to be a very nice lady..
I will say for Fallon I absolutely believe she did some shady horse deals in the past, but since she's been on her own I think she has worked really hard to make things right and build up a good rep, it makes me happy to see someone try and make things right again. |

And you know perhaps the same can be said for Kendra. My experience was several years ago...

Location: Moving soon..... | I have heard all of the "dirty laundry" in the past of Kendra and Fallon.
Personally, about 4 years ago I went to look at a couple of horses that she had for sale (just riding horses). She told me everything that she knew about them and it was spot on.
As far as what Kendra is wearing on her show a lot of it she designs herself and I give her a thumbs up for that.
As far as "letting go," life is too short to keep the past in your life. You don't have to be friends with her, but just move on. |

| Did not like the new host. She looked and sounded like she was reading a script.
Miss JK and her 'personal' knowledge/touch on each horse/rider.
I'm done watching.
Or better yet, "I'm going in a new direction".....

Location: Texas | What aggravates me is the fake hand gestures they are both made to make. Just seems unnatural. I first thought it was just jk until I saw Kendra making them too. Just let them be natural. I would like to see more rodeos instead of watching rodeos that are filmed 9 months ago, and less I go about the town they are in |

Location: The best kept secret in TX | I always felt the show was very scripted and very.... fake looking.
I agree that the producers need to stop hovering and let them be natural. I stopped watching a while ago when the same hoakie background kept showing up and the same hand gestures were being used EVERY SINGLE SHOW. It got boring...
Coverage of up to date barrel races would be great. I stopped watching and came here instead to get a reacap of most of the bigger races when people post about them. BHW is more up to date than the show and it annoys me less than the hoakie background and blingy clothes do LOL  |
