Location: Minnesota | Who is your favorite NFR horse? Doesn't have to be one this year, last year or even 10 years ago. Feel free to post a picture to go along with your choice.
I would have to choose Nilla. I loved watching Nilla at the 2012 NFR. Something about this horse just caught my attention.

Twisted Sister was one wicked mare if the jockey kept up. She looks like one TWISTED ride, that's for sure.
I also am rooting for Nonstop Firewater gelding, Fashionable Boy, this year. I'm a bit biased though, because I can't wait to have the half sibling via Nonstop in the mare in my profile pic's oven this spring. haha |

Seems to me like the only time that mare made a run at the NFR, her jockey kept up well enough to place quite well ;) |

Exactly, she placed, so her jockey must've kept up ;) . I didn't say it like 'oh that rider sucks', I said it as '**** she looks hard as hell to sit'. I mean, not so often are NFR horses running in in vertical position. I wish they would've ran her more, she was faster than the other horse they had (a lot less sane, but brains don't matter to the clock. haha). |
