| Yes we did. Attended the ABRA WORLD SHOW in Tulsa OK. Got to visit with Lance Graves. We haven't seen him in about a year and a half so that was nice. My mare was World Champion in barrels and Reserve World Champion in Poles. I rode in Amateur Barrels and Poles and was in the top five. In that heat, that was a tired horse. I hope the image will attach. |

| Well the photo will not resize on my new laptop. I will have to get my laptop worked on.
There is one thing that seriously bothered me. I do not think that I have ever been to a barrel race or show where the people who were putting on the show actually made fun of someone riding. I can assure you that I have been doing this much longer than most of you have been alive. They actually laughed at the lady that went before me in barrels and right after me in poles. Very sad. |

Congrats on the wins!!! Way to go!
So sad about them making fun of someone. I can imagine her self-esteem went down the drain! They should be ashamed of themselves!! :(

Location: Texas | Congrats to you and shame on them. Just to enter a big show when you know that you might be older, your balance not what it used to be and maybe heavier than you want to be takes guts. |

I don't think the lady heard them but you don't know if someone has had a head injury or a riding accident or what. At least she tried. A am terrible but at least where I ride people are nice. |

Location: Arkansas | Congratulations to you and your horses 
And I agree--shame on them. I can't post because of my leg, and I've seen folks talking and pointing when I trot. It really hurt at first, then I decided I was finally doing what I'd wanted to do for so very long and that I was NOT gonna let them get me down. God gave me my love for my horses and some wonderful ponies, so poo on those folks!!! |

So they were making fun of her over the PA system or was it the barrel and pole sitters that were doing the making fun of?
The people who had something to say were the ones lining us up in the back-- basically the ring stewards. |

Those ring stewards need their hinnys kicked for being a-holes. I hope this lady didnt hear what they were saying about her, maybe someone turned them in to the ones putting on the show, we can only hope.. And congrats to you and your trainer for doing such a great job at the show. |

Thank you. Very proud of my baby. She had a hard day, having to run back to back 2 runs in barrels then immediately 2 runs in poles. She is just 5 and she walked in like a lady every time. |
