| Thought I'd share this. God Bless Her.
This is Rosie posting for Tracy- thank you for all of your support for Tracy and Dolly Jo. She reads all of your messages and knows you are rooting for her and Dolly Jo! She isn’t just “hitting barrels” she physically can’t ride Dolly Jo right now to the best of her capability. I took her to get an MRI today per Tandy- she has little tears in her rotator cuff and bicep, and in her neck she has 3 bulging disks as well. She will see Tandy’s recommendation for a surgeon next week. Please keep her in your prayers!!

| I thought this was amazing. 10 rounds on a healthy horse and rider is hard. To do it with that, is simply amazing. I know most of the time, the girls don't get any sort of mention of injuries to horses or themselves. Once in awhile an announcer will say why a girl is riding a different horse, but that's about it.

Location: Southeast Louisiana | Praying her pain isn’t too bad... I just re-watched last night’s perf. and she bounced pretty bad when her horse set hard at the second. That hurts when it happens to me and my horse is nowhere near the powerhouse hers is! I sure hope she is ok.

| Sending prayers. Also sending a message—I have some bulging discs in my neck but not a candidate for surgery. There are some other things that can help effectively. On the shoulder, surgery is tough BUT if she follows Dr instructions it will be better than ever. This is not something you can shortcut. That means not riding. I broke my shoulder several years ago. No surgery but Dr said follow his instruction or surgery would be necessary. A lot of PT and time that shoulder works better than the other one.
See if she can find someone with a MAGNAWAVE or something like it to work on shoulder and neck for now. It helps a lot. Best of luck and speedy recovery. |

| Continued prayers that she’s can tough out one more run.
You could tell last night knowing what to look for, especially in the alley, pulling up basically one handed.
Prayers for mental peace and skillful doctors who can help her. |
