  Shipwrecked and Flat Out Zapped
Posts: 16390
   
Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | I ran at two barrel races on Saturday AND lol, I didn't knock any barrels down. My knee caught one though, but I'm proud of my little bruise. My first run was a 30 seconds. Then, I had a 26 and a few 25's lol. I was stuck on 25 until the final showdown between Bryan and I. He beat me with a 23 and I got a 24!!! I waited all day for a video of me running so I could look for ways to improve. I finally got THE WORST VIDEO EVER on my last ride and see I'm slowing down a lot around the barrels....so, I'll certainly work on that. I shared Hearts For Lena with my two nieces. My niece, Abigal won 2nd in Pee Wee's at the first rodeo and 1st in Pee Wee's at the second! All in all, my family and I had a blast. Neither Bryan or I are walking upright today, but we have two weeks to recover for our next shot at it....MUST. MAKE. A. 23! LOL

Location: DUMPING CATS AND PIGS IN TEXAS :) | Oh, I forgot to mention that Bryan got bucked off on his first exhibition run. Mare never bucks, but she bucked from the alley to the first barrel where he fell. I haven't laughed that hard in years. That could be why he made sure he beat my butt in our showdown lol. |

| I think it's cool you're out having fun. That's what its supposed to be about anyway.
Even on my best day with my best horse, the best I could ever manage was a 20 on a full standard pattern. I thought I was flying until I saw the video...LOL |

I had a major embarrassing moment at a fun show a couple of weeks ago. I've been legging up and running a friend's horse while she's busy with nursing school. This is typically a 1D horse, and we just went to a little fun show for his first run after 6 months off. That darn horse stopped, and I mean STOPPED, from a dead run on the backside of first and third. His second barrel was flawless, though. Instead of the 15 second run we SHOULD'VE had, we "ran" a 25.
Needless to say, I was mortified. But that's just part of the game, and I can laugh about it now! |

And, thanks everyone! It was soooo fun! My family was there and my nieces and I really had a blast. I'm using kid stirrups on my saddle and I had too long of reins for my nieces lol....by the second rodeo, I had a new set of reins....now, I have to buy a good kid's saddle. They are serious Pee Wee competitor's now lol.

Yep, and you should.
You're making me miss running. When I used to hang with all of Marana's finest, they nick named me "Barrel Pacer" and I loved it. At least we're living. :) |

Man, those kids asked me 8,000 questions that day and for every 200 questions, I needed a beer....
When is it my turn?
Why can't I go first?
Can I trot?
Where are we?
Are we there yet?
Why is the saddle brown?
Can I go play in the tack room?
Can I hold the horse?
etc..etc...etc...etc....

Story of my life. Wrong kid in the arena, other kid in the bathroom, I'm yelling at one kid to get their brother out of the bathroom, husband is no where to be found, spill my beer looking for the camera... We never have our sh*t together... I can only imagine the looks and comments said about us |

LOL
I got the old, "I took my boots off and need help putting them back on" while they were calling her name......I'm pretty sure she raced with her boots on the wrong feet....
Me: WHyyyyyy, did you take your boots off???
Her: My feet were hot!
Me: (facepalm) Cowgirls NEVER take their boots off!!!
Her: But, my feet will get sweaty.
Me: GET ON THE HORSE!!!!

Location: Montana | It sounds like you had a lot of fun! I can't wait to start going again...the weather has been nice, but my schedule hasn't lined up with the barrel racing schedule, grrr.
My first barrel race ever, I ran a time only 1st and got a 24 something second run, then I ran and got a 22 something second run and won the 4D some how! It was a blast and I could have fallen off my horse from surprise at actually winning some $...now I'm going to be trying to break the 20 second barrier.
Your post reminded me why I like going so much! |

LOL this makes me question my mentor/dads friend we hauled with when I was a child...
It explains why he always bought cups of ice instead of a drink at pit stops LOL and why he always had the same cup for DAYS. Or Pepsi can....
Yup, explains so much! |
