Ground is the most important aspect of our sport and all of us take it very seriously. From day one it was being emphasized and I can assure you we are as upset about problems as anyone. I'm very happy that it was better last night but as a barrel racer I'm still not completely satisfied about it. Ground is a very tricky thing as in this situation it's even harder to get it just the way we would like it. Please know that none of us on the board just sit around and ignore this situation. The chain of command in important at times like this and it was definitely "heated up" by those of us that were able to make our feelings known.

Industrial Srength Barrel Racer Posts: 7264	Here are my thoughts. The NFR has already lost the big name bull riders to the PBR, they are going to lose the big name barrel racers to the American if they don't shape up. Just my opinion but I would sure think twice before running my horse there and he's a dink.

Elite Veteran Posts: 889 Location: Kansas	Three 4 Luck - 2014-12-06 9:05 PM Kiss my ass. "Rodeo ground" is not an excuse: this is the NFR. We don't expect awesome, we do expect and demand safe. I don't watch it to see horses get hurt. They have proven the ground is capable of being decent in the past, so there is no reason it can't be made safe now. Agreed Three 4 Luck Rodeo ground is normally not perfect...but...did anyone else notice the 10 million $ check they showed, for coming year prize money. There is absolutely NO EXCUSE why the ground isn't the best at the NFR.
