| The one girl on Big Tips Texas thinks she can make a living off barrel racing. I think everyone can have the dream of being a pro, but let's be realistic you can't live off of barrel racing. I mean even her boyfriend wants her to quick her job and do barrel racing full time. I just don't see how they both think this a realistic goal.  . I could be wrong, but it takes so much money to earn just a little bit. |

Location: Central TX | im not sure exactly who you are referring too But I think it is possible to make a living off of barrel racing if you are going to the NFR, thats what brittany pozzi...etc are doing. they do not have any other "job"persay other than barrel racing. But i do not think it is possible to make a living going to ammys..

| Morgan from Big Tips Texas she is a beginner barrel racer. I mean once you get to the Pros you can make money, but if you count your costs from the start of your barrel racing I think it will be a really long time to fully cover all the costs. |

| I just meant realistically for the average person it would be hard. I am not judging I was just pondering why you would want to give up a stable job for a very costly endeavor. I mean she could be rich I don't know, but I was just looking at it from an average job stand point lol.  |

Location: Never in one place long | Oh well I guess let her try and see, if she can do it, great, if not she will learn and go back to a "real" job. I wish I could at least have tried to do it but I'm pretty happy just doing the occasional shows. I Love seeing people follow their dreams even if they DON"T succeed at least they don't regret NOT trying it. :) |

Her other job is raising, selling, and training horses.
She doesn't make all of her money just rodeoing. None of the pros do that. They may not have a 9-5 regular desk job, but they aren't just sitting around doing nothing in between rodeos. |

Yeah I didn't think they could live off just barrel racing. I think fame helps them make money I mean who wouldn't want to be able to buy one of their horses saying they bought it from so and so. |

Yeah it's interesting watching someone try for it and it's great she's following her dream. All I was saying throwing in everything when you are just beginning seems crazy. |
