| The 2 episodes with Kristie and Jordan are REALLY good. I have watched them several times each! |

 Vodka for Lunch
Location: Lala Land | Although I think that safety is important when you're hauling, I thought it was such a horrible episode in general. :( I really thought the show was going to be a lot different than it's turned out to be. I'd rather see shows that are more behind the scenes with trainers & lady's on the rodeo trail, shows with tips, heck, even have an episode or two of some stallions since breeding season is coming than the shows that we've seen lately. |

Location: Wild Wild West | I think she was just showing the other side of barrel racers. The weekend warriors, the barrel racers that work for a living but still love their horses and the competition of the sport. I don't think it was "horrible" and I hope these girls don't come upon this post and read that. It might not be everybody's cup of tea but you don't have to be rude. I enjoy watching the NFR girls and the futurity girls but I also like to see the different side of things. But that's just me. |

Location: In The Land of Cotton | Actually I and my husband both thought it was a good show. How many of you, men and women get out of your vehicles looking at your cells. Look at your cells while fueliing? I bet more then will admit to it. How many don't pay attention as they fuel up? Check tires, etc?
We had semis for a long time. Truck stops used to be a safe haven at the fuel pumps, (the lot not so much). That was another world. His advice was good, simple and to the point.
More people need to pay attention. |

| Some pretty good points made here. I guess a few of us felt a bit mis-led as you would think having a 'racer's edge' will help show you how to be a cut above the rest. In reality the show seems to cover more than that and as you guys mentioned the many different aspects of barrel racers. Honestly, that's alright, I have to say I'm just happy to see a genuine series for the sport! (Y'all remember 'Rodeo Girls' I'm sure!)  |

Location: North Dakota | For myself personally, when I watch a barrel racing show, I expect the topic to be on barrel racing. I have not cared for the last two episodes. I didn't care for the episode on the nurse and I didn't care for the episode on the lady running Wolfgang's in Las Vegas. I understand that many of us (myself included) have a day job and don't rodeo/barrel race full time, but if I want to learn about someone running a restaurant, then I"ll watch the Food Network. IMO. Nothing against the people they chose to interview; that's just NOT why I tune into the show.
Loved the shows on the Petersons and on Amberly. Wish I could have heard more from Britany! Even if we're not necessarily watching or listneing to them run barrels, I like hearing the backstory about how they got where they are and/or the backstory on their horse.
I don't like listening to things that have nothing to do with horses .... when I'm watching a barrel racing show. Again, JMO. |
