Seemed like there was still some ground trouble even with the new ground.
Wow - I didn't see much trouble at all on the ground...
I didn't think they had trouble with it like they have in years past, just noticed that some horses did have a few slips. Suppose that is me being too picky and looking at the small details. |

4roads - 2016-12-01 5:56 PM So exciting! Did not see the epidosode of religion of sports and bummed hoping it will be on YouTube it something ! Been following Kimmie wall on snap chat and enjoying the behind the scenes of what she's been posting So many great girls with amazing horses I am so pumped for round one!!!! I am hoping somebody puts it up on YouTube!! I am working the barn until midnight and the tv here doesn't have the channel :(
What is her snapchat username? Id love to follow some rodeo girls but I dont know how to find out their user names
When you go to take a picture on snap, you'll see the little ghost on the top of the screen. Tap him then you hit "add friends". Hope that makes sense! :)
I feel like such a creep but oh well! LOL

I know they don't go in the same tracks but I noticed the heading horses had some trouble also. One lost his hind end turning the steer. I don't think the problem is totally fixed because there were some slips. I also think some had trouble getting the correct line to first and it made them tip on the back side. Just my observations. |

Sarah came on strong too, looks like bling slipped or stumbled on that first slightly and just knocked it coming out! Of course they're one of my favorite teams since she ran with us down here for a while. Jana Bean had a super nice, quiet and well executed run! Congrats to all for a nice first round Didn't something similar happen with Ivy and Tibby at the American or the semis?  Yep, it was at the American, went on the wrong side of the third barrel, just like last night : (
Did she bring some backup horses? That's a confidence killer for the first night! I hope it was just another fluke! |

Pretty sure Ivy didn't bring a backup horse. But I don't expect Tibbie to do it again. I think she was just scared of the wall. She's young, it's a tiny bright yellow pen. You could see her not wanting to run to it on the 2nd, Ivy really struggled to get her in there, then after she hit Ivy quit riding to the third. No doubt Ivy will be anticipating that hesitation for Round 2. |

| I agree, not sure about the ground. Although better. I Didn't see the horses try to set & then get front endy like the past from being so hard but seen lots of back feet slipping & a back foot or two sticking hard in the ground causing to blow out or hit! Didn't seem to really have enough moisture & depth... watch steer wrestlers try to get in it & ahold, they couldn't!

| I watched and cannot even imagine what it feels like to run in the T & M like those incredbile riders. The pressure they must feel and coming down the alley for the 1st (or tenth) time has to be MIND BLOWING. The ground is HORRIBLE -- why can they not get it together? Someone who qualifed for the NFR a few times (in roping) told me this week that Shawn Davis owns the dirt and keeps it in boxes stored in Vegas. The problem is (I was told) it holds no moisutre. They need to drag and put some water on it!
WOW we can all play Monday AM Quarter Back but a 13 second run!!! There is a LOT Of repetitive motion of PERFECT habits you have to do in 13/14 seconds. Besides the ground being cruddy - you dont see the 1st until you are upon it. I hear them say you have to "drive" all the way to 2nd that visually its misleading. I am sure those yellow walls approach you at Mach .10
After looking at Ivy's run 20 times - Ivy stopped kicking and set her body up to make the turn about a stride too quickly. When Ivy set, "Tibbie" turned early and they popped 2nd. Just like at the American Ivy was still one handed in her turn and she was leaning slightly in her body postion to the left and was soaking in the nanosecond of what just happened - and mentally that it happened at the first round of the biggest barrel race of her life. She is 21 years old -- its POLARIZING!
I look forward to watching the next 9 nights and seeing all the jitters out of everyones system.
I loved watching the "Veteran Marys" ... Mary Burger & Mary Walker. Also I cannot mention "Veteran" without mentioning Jackie Ganter riding "Recent Release" / "R" who is 19 years YOUNG! He looked amazing!! I have always loved him and watching him is such a treat.
I heard she called Kristi Schiller about him and he was not for sale becuase her little girl was riding him. Then her daughter agreed that Jackie needed him more. The rest is history and hopefuilly they make history as well togeher this week. I hope every contestant has fun trying! Please WRAPSNAP do the commentary!!! |

Also, last year I was at least able to listen to the NFR live from prorodeo.com for free. This doesn't seem to be the case this year because sirus took over?! Super confused.
It's free. ProRodeolive.com to listen on your computer. If you already have Sirius is on channel 147. There is also an app I believe, Live 365, and then search ProRodeolive.com to listen on your iPhone or iPad.
Oh yeah! Live 365 that was the app I was thinking of, thanks! I lost it when I got a new phone.

Location: Arizona | I read one source that showed Ivy brought Wendy Chambers' stallion Flits Bravest Heart (aka Trace) as a backup. I think that was from the Barrel Racing Report. |

I know in the first practice session, I noticed she was on Trace. |

Location: Cocoa, Florida | I know some of you are saying the ground looks horrible but I think it's 99.9% better then last year, and seems better then some of our local rodeos, kudos to them for fixing it up, can't wait for round 3. |

Location: Illinois | I didn't think the ground was too bad either! Yesterday it obviously seemed a lot better less trips. Pumped for night 3!!! |
