Where are the NFR posts?  lol  Way to go Amanda and Firefly! and Cheyenne and VQ Sucker punch! Gonna be a fun 9 more days!

Great round.  Is Firefly a stallion?

Gelding, hes home grown/bred and trained by her family.. 

Jordan and Rollo has such a beautiful pattern and it was fast! Hailey bout gave me heart palpitations rocking 2 barrels a little. I think Lisa and Cutter will only get faster, too. Sure hated to see Nellie and Sister hit. It was a great start to the NFR! 
Also, for y'all staying on Fremont Street and anyone goinfo to watch the Jr NFR and barrel races at the the Plaza, they have some really really nice shopping on the ground floor. One of a kind turquoise jewelry, Elite custom saddles (several of the NFR breakaway girls ride in them) and other artisan shops are there. Unfortunately, the advertising wasn't great for the Plaza shopping, but they have really nice one of a kind shopping there. 

I have always admired Cheyenne's riding ability, she is a jockey! I am cheering for Molly Otto to nail that first tonight and see them getting faster. 

I have absolulety loved following Amanda and Firefly since Jan!  https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/frenchman+fire+fly

Gelding ;) 

Rollo is amazing!  I think Haileys gonna have to really work hard this week to keep this pack from #1... 

I am hoping to see Lisa get on the grey she calls Levee...her entire herd is nice though! Cutter handled it well! 

Cheyenne is a hand! and has paid some dues the last few trips to the finals... glad to see her shine... 

I have been watching Firefly since he was a yearling. I knew than he was going to be a race horse. Amandas Dad Bob raises and trains some really solid horses, The horse that Amanda rides in the grand entry is one of Bobs studs and he is no joke either. After watching how hard Bob and Amanda and her mom have worked to get here. I have a smile from ear to ear. Firefly is a machine and loves a small pen it's going to be a fast NFR.

Love this!!! I seen her run on TCC in Jan and was like... WHO is that?! so I found her and introduced myself... she is absolutely such a sweet girl.. and you can tell from her posts and posts about her how truly deserving she and her family are... Happy for them!!! Now you got me watching the grand entry LOL

I was so excited to see Amanda & Firefly split the win last night. I also really like the horse Cheyenne is riding. 

I was really surprised to see Ivy & J-Lo rock a couple barrels. 

I think it's a phenomenal pen of horses and ladies this year. It should be fun watching the next 9 nights!

But did y'all see Donna Kay's time? Just loping around in there. It's cool that Amanda made it there on a homegrown horse and not a single sponsorship patch. Bet that changes this week.

Barrel racing is going to be cut throat!!! Looked like quite a few had ground issues especially right barrel first horses.  Nellie's Sister inside front slipped a good 6-8 inches on the back side and she wasn't only one.

Cheynne Wimberly mentioned it in her interview with the money barrel. She said it is new ground and they knew it was going to be different after practice. She said they are working on it and it should firm up through out the week. They are hand raking after every girl, I wish they would show that on the TV coverage. 

I thought I read somewhere he was a stud.  Regardless she is riding a horse with a pedigree most folks can afford.   That is great for everyone to realize even though it helps to start with proven and expensive pedigree's a good horse is a good horse!

All the girls were great but that Cheyenne is a hand and a half!

As an armchair barrel racer, I'm trying to keep track of $ won and horses ridden in each go.  Can anyone quickly give me the names of the horse's ridden by: in the first go? 

Shelley Morgan?

Jessica Routier?

Nellie Miller?

Brittany Pozzi Tonozzi?

Wenda Johnson? 

Molly Otto?

or tell me please where that information is?  

Thanks much!

The WPRA websit will give you that information, I only know their barn names. 

So impressed with the runs last night and I am predicting it is going to get wicked fast this year. 

Also for those who know Amanda, is she running Fire Fly barefoot?

wow  i just watched on u tube  dang bad to the bone

NO

Way to go Donna and Valor!!! This team rocks!!!!!

i just watch  holy cow  fast     question is louie retired

Yes. He's been retired for a few years now.

Donna Kay & Valor came back with a vengeance last night!

That was a hell of a hit JB Mauney took last night, I hope he's ok. 

I hope hes ok too, that man took a hell of a hit a few times in a roll while being hung up. He was out to long in my opinion and then he wanted to walk out on his own that man is tough as nails. I watched the NFR Post Show hopping for a update on him and did get one but they really didnt know much since it was so soon after the bulls, but they did say he had Facial lacerations and more then likey a concussion which we all knew that was going to be the case, so we shall see tonight hopefully they will give us a good report on JB, I even think he'll be riding his bull tonight knowing him, unless hes in the hospital. Prayers its nothing to serious

It was a pretty run, I bet Donna Kay was grinning from ear to ear all night after that run of 13.56

i thought i saw him last year at nfr

You might have heard that Amanda is riding her dad's stud, Frosty Tri Star, as her backup horse at the NFR.

You didn't . Last time he ran at the NFR was in 2019.

Lisa was riding Rosa last year in Arlington, Texas.. 

I added a picture of Louie and Rosa for you.

WOW!!! WENDA!!!! Holy smokes!!! That horse had an accelarator! 

AND I think he will get faster! Those turns scared the **** out of me! LOL

Does anyone know the payout of this years average. I know the standings but not the amount.

I cannot seem to find the updated world standings?  I know Hailey is still in first, but unsure of others who have moved up. 

I think the arena record may be in jeopardy. .  that horse is crazy fast! 

Thanks I know the standings I was asking about the money payout for the average.

Acutally, I was asking for myself. lol 

Go to Prorodeo.com cliclk on NFR than click results and click on text version

Thanks

Emily & Chongo were moving last night! The race for the world title is going to be exciting! 

Been trying to find info on Wade Sundell, he got hurt last night, he got bucked off his Grand entry horse and then bucked off his bronc, they think he hurt his ribs when his grand entry horse bucked him off and that really hurt his bronc ride last night, they were saying he was in a lot of pain and going for mri/xrays last night so just wondering if anybody has heard anything yet. Man the poor guy!!!

I haven't seen anything on facebook for an update. I've been wondering too. I bet they talk about it on the pre-show tonight. 

Poor guy can't catch a break 

His GF updated the Wade Sundell page and said it isnt ribs. They are waiting on answers. 

Broke his back

Out for the rest of the NFR

Well sh*t. Wade is out the rest of the NFR. 

https://www.thecowboychannel.com/story/45391317/wade-sundell-out-for-remainder-of-2021-nfr?fbclid=IwAR3X9db7d12cdFfEGrKAVn6no05o0OfJG6H2umnpig9M237BLTOEz2APaq0

Yept just saw this.

Wade Sundell - I ended up having a fracture in my spine. 

I feel so bad for this man, he worked really hard after his last bad injury in Aug. of 2019 to get back to where he is today and now this!!! Prayers for Wade

hey  the best part is he is not paralized  thats a blessing

there is a nother nfr down the road

Wades response was basically that's part of it...  I hate it for him, but that's a great attitude to have.  

The world title in barrels is going to be epic... these girls are absolutely amazing!!! 

Who brings the horses for the grand entry horses for the NFR? I know some find their own mounts, does everyone have to or are there grand entry horses there to use? 

Tonight the top 15 women ride for The Fallen.

This is my program!  I thought about it while on my knees praying my son gets off a mission in Afghanistan..lol

Anyhow a huge shout out to Jimmie Munroe, the WPRA and top 15 who help me keep this program going.

Honor Tags for Heroes

I guess I should of registered it as .org not .com...whatever was I thinking?

When I click onto your link Gail it dont work for me "(

I fixed it.  Try this.

Honor Tags for Heroes

It works!!!!! ")

So cool Gail, you did a super bang up Job!!!!!!!!!

I was going to be there tonight but came down with some crazy virus...cough cough,,not it is not Covid..lol

Thanks for your kind words.  I love this program but dang it sure takes a chunk out of my soul. I need help for next years program!  Volunteers anyone?

My FAV!!!! Thanks for all you do Gail!!! I love this night

What are some things volunteers can do to help?

Very cool program. Hailey mentioned it in her interview with the Money Barrel.

How about Stetson Wright!?!? No matter if you agree with the calls last night or not, that kid is all heart, try and a total badass!

I missed that part about the interview with Hailey, I was hoping someone would bring up the Honor Tags

Was the interview during the Tail Gate party? 

Hope you are feeling Better Gail, or you planning on going at all to the NFR? I got the NRF on my Bucket list, would love to go at least once just to get the feel of it, but love watching on Cowboy Channel now that they have taking it all on, we get to see so darn much of behind the scenes so to me thats a big plus. 

I love watching the Wright Boys, they make things really ramp up during the rough stock ... And happy to see Wade Sundell hanging out with his buddys. Ty Murray watching sitting with the crowd was really cool too.

I really wish they made a bigger deal, especiAlly this year with the debalcle in Afghanastan , about  the Honor Tags for Heros.  The barrel racing has come so far at the NFR but the fact the network still doesn't delve into this aspect tells me we have much further to go. 

Someone explain how Stetgot a score. Both legs were on the same side of the bull and his butt was off the bull's back at 7.9. He did not make the whistle. He was simply hung up for a second. 

They were saying as long as hes got his hand in his wrap/rope he still gets a score. I kinda though the same thing how did he still get a score but after watching that ride a few more times he did have his hand in his wrap/rope still and he did look a bit hung up but the Judges say he rode the 8 seconds so no argument from me I'm no judge, lol..

Probably would have suffered some backlash from the crowd if he didn't score on that 3rd ride. I was thinking the same as above posters .... they didn't spend much time on it... needed to move on I reckon. Oh well.. I'm glad he got to finally make it to the buzzer 

It's plain wrong. If that was the case, every bull rider that gets hung up would get a time. That's cheating. Josh Frost was the only rider that made it to 8. If going down on one knee was cause for a reride in rough stock, everyone at Pendleton would get rerides. Nobody cares when the barrel horses have ground trouble. Wasn't Stetson's fault, but I guess I think he should have manned up and said he didn't make the whistle. I'm super disappointed in the whole thing.

The thing is that only the judges know what their stopwatchs said.  The clock we see running on TV is not the official time.  

Additionally.... the rule IS ..... as long as his feet nevers touches the ground

R9.6.2 Requirements for Marking. If rider makes qualified ride with any
part of rope in riding hand, he is to be marked

Rough stock riders get rerides all the time for any little stumble or even if the horse doesn't buck hard enough. It happens at the NFR all the time, yet the timed event boys hardly ever get a rerun. I have seen many times a hung up bull rider get a score as long as his hand is still on his rope and his feet aren't on the ground, where their butt is has never been a factor. I have seen a bull rider still on the bull but his hand is blown out of his rope not get a score just because his hand was not on his rope. Stetson's hand was still in his rope and feet hadn't hit the ground, so scoring him was right according to the rules. 

Anyone heard where Rosa is? Or who the gray Lisa was on? He/she handled the atmopshere well, barely cought that barrel and clocked well for just cruisin. 

Exactly, the judges have the stop watch and they say he was there for the 8. The rule that if the animal stumbles and goes to the their knee is a re-ride is a newer rule. Stetson deserved everyone of those re-rides.

Do I think it was a 90 point ride, no, but in rodeo you take the gifts because the next call could go the other way. No matter how you look at it that kid is all heart, try and a total bad ass!

The gray is her 5 year old Levee.

Agreeed!!!!! what we see from sitting on our couches while watching on TV and what the Judges see while standing right there at the NFR with the rough stock are two different things, I'll take the Judges views/calls.

The Wright Boys are really all about True Grit!!!! Heck all the Rough Stock riders are tough as Nails and have alot of respect for them all..

I missed the luncheon and Military Night - darn virus.  ( it was not covid!)

Next year we should plan on getting together in Vegas for Military Night!

Levee- https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/promise+me+fame+guys

Owned by Teton Ridge Ranch (purchased this summer from breeder Tenley Epperson)

Futuritied successfully by Samantha Flannery the spring of his 5 yr old year until TRR bought him. 

Thank you! I thought he handled things super well. 

But I am curious about Rosa. It said she was bringing her so i am being nosey! I know she can tip but shes after go around wins anyway. Seems like the best time to bring her out. 

This is my question too! I thought for sure that Rosa would be her main mount this year. I have seen many videos of Lisa this year on Rosa and it seemed like they had their timing together and she was able to get her past the barrels now. I keep hoping to see her. 

Ya'll are complaining about rerides etc. I remember a few years ago when someone drugged Cody Ohl's calf and it came out of the chute and just fell down.  Somehow he got a rope on the thing and when he picked it up it could not stand.  It was very obvious that the calf was drugged and I think a blood test was run after the rodeo and did confirm that.  No one offered to give him a new calf.  It cost him the world championship.  

I've seen some sloppy steers and calves tripping, hesitating leaving the chute etc etc ... the ropers don't get another shot do they .... its the "luck of the draw"  right? Bit odd it's not across the board...  I've never heard that story on Cody Ohl ... that's a darn shame especially if there was proof in a blood draw 

I remember that it was in 2013 that happen, I never heard of the calf being drugged and that the blood was drawn to prove it.. I'll ask a friend when I see him this coming week if I can remember, if he knew about that calf being drugged.  

How about Jordan Briggs & Rolo! That horse is so cool & she's a jockey! 
I'm also loving Stevi & Lemon Drop. I might be wrong but this has to be one of Stevi's best finals! 

I love that all the events are coming down to a one header. The difference between 1st and 2nd in the dogging is $117! 

Yep tonight will be a nail biter for sure, lol..

Shad Mayfield sure got a bad draw in tie down last night, I felt so bad for him.. 

That would be cool Gail!!!!

What a great NFR this year! The women sure put on a great 10 rounds and Jordon and Rollo were exceptional! Congrats to her and the other Champs and Average winners. 

Great NFR, I enjoyed the heck out of it, was fun watching the last round and watching the expressions of the Champions. 

The highlight for me was the gutsy decision Joe Frost made for the re-ride in the 2nd or 3rd round.  At least I think that's the one I'm thinking of!  He scored in the 70's and I think only one qualified ride had been made up to that point, with only a few left to ride. He opted for a re-ride even though he'd been guaranteed a decent check at that point.  He wound up winning the round, scoring a 90 on his re-ride and picked up $33K because there were only 3 qualified rides.  I loved it.

When Dusty got hurt in round 9 that was a heart sinker, but sounds like hes going to come back in about 7 months and do what he loves best and thats fighting bulls and saving the cowboys from getting hurt. Dusty's a cool bull fighter!!!!!!

What a great 10 rounds! When it comes done to the last round in all events!!!
