| I saw Shane Hanchey and Marty Yates listed in the calf roping results for the Helotes, TX rodeos. So have they dropped out from the ERA? |

Shane & Marty were competing in both associations. Only the stockholders cannot compete in both, if they don't own stock....they're still in good standing with the PRCA. |

I see, that's pretty confusing. Nick Sartain must be in the same boat then, as he is entered at Guymon? |

That would be my bet, I know some bullriders were that way as well. I think some can survive without having to do the PRCA rodeos for a bit and have held onto their stock, others need to be able to do both. |

Frodo - 2016-04-26 2:31 PM MS2011 - 2016-04-26 1:54 PM Frodo - 2016-04-26 1:41 PM MS2011 - 2016-04-25 8:31 AM Frodo - 2016-04-24 4:04 PM I've watched several now. Not impressed. What makes the contestants elite. If they're elite and special then prove it by competing against anybody who wants to butt heads with them. What makes the 10-year-old girl elite? Many questions. I see a pattern of arrogance here.  I'm just going to go out on a limb here and bet that little 10 year old girl has a resume much longer than many who question why she's elite. Â How about a 4th place finish at one of the BBR rounds just this last weekend out of 1780+ horses? Â Winning the semifinals to the American? Â Top 25 finish at a go there in 2015? Â Winning a round in 2014? Â Those took about 2 min of googling to dig up. Â What's wrong with just being happy for a kid having a chance to run at a top level? Â It's not like she hasn't been able to handily hold her own. Â Â Nothing umpteen jillion other 60 pounders haven't accomplished. Be real. She's there because she's a draw for the "cute" factor. The little person. The awwwww thing. I can maybe only think of a handful of kids that have accomplished what she has.....not that many adults either.
What's wrong with choosing someone that happens to not only be able to be competitive at that level - but is a great marketing draw? Â I fail to see an issue. Â
 The issue is the weight factor. Always has been.....always will be when you run juniors with adults.Â
Â
Oh....come on....then please explain why the guys can out run LOTS of women and children that weigh less than they do...... And I know a LOT of 60# kids (and lightweight women) that can't out run a fat pig.....It takes a "talented" rider on a "talented" horse.....plain and simple!
A lot of the guys I know that run barrels weigh as much or less than the women! Also, I don't see any heavy set jockeys running at Churchill Downs, or any other racetrack. If it was true it only took a talented rider on a talented horse wouldn't you see someone who is talented but weighs 140# and is 5'6" on a racehorse? How much weight is carried over a distance is a factor. Other factors include straight lines, distance from the barrels, etc. But weight is a factor when dealing with a timed event. If it wasn't jockeys and NASCAR wouldn't obsess over being lighter for a race. |

If "weight" was the only true factor in barrel racing....then EVERY (or 90+%) of Open Barrel Races, Rodeos, Jackpots, etc would be won by a 60# child ..... But it is a good excuse for those who get outrun by them...... |

This ^^^^ what Norma said.  Its not the weight that matters, its how the horse is jockeyed/riden, balance is what counts/matters... |

They haven't shown Taylor Jacob either on her last two runs. They have only showed about 8 or 9 of the girls for each night/performance. |

She was, but she and Cory both pulled out early this year. |
