Wondering why no one is posting about the NBHA Colonial Nationals? I was over there today with a 2yo just so he could "see the sights". It was HOT and HUMID but looked liked plenty of trailers rolling in.

I've opted out for years. It was too expensive in $$'s, time, and energy, and stopped being as much fun when NBHA stopped caring about this show. Used to be one of the biggest NBHA national shows annually and is now only slightly bigger than the VA Classic in May/June.
Wishing any BB's much luck running this weekend there tho!! And I'll be out to watch my colt run with his trainer on Saturday.

Well, I can't wait until I have another horse that is ready to compete at this show. I'm partial because I love the Virginia Horse Center facilities and it is 20 mins. from my house. I am always riding a young horse so I need plenty of room to ride/warm up and do not have a 4 wheel drive truck so parking is important. The horse center trys really hard to keep everything top notch. Stalls and wash areas for the horses are great too.

I like NBHA but sadly I think the numbers everywhere have dropped. We used to have one of the largest districts in Texas. Had at least 125 at every barrel race. We don't even have a district anymore. I joined TX00 then we lost that director. I go over to Louisiana to run. I joined there. I don't know what the answer is.

I know a bunch of people that are there, but they are not bb's. Also that one is not and has never been live streamed for some reason. I am only seeing videos that my friends post on FB but they don't tell who's leading and the time. lol

I would think that would be because of who the videographer is. Don't know
