Regular Posts: 57	I know I only have a couple of days left to make a decision on going to BBR finals or not. I have a question for locals. Do any of you that are close just haul in on the days you need to and not stay over night. I was just wondering if it is possible at a show this large and how easy it is if it possible. I am a little over an hour away and would prefer to just drive back and forth. I would only be taking one horse.

My horses are WAY happier when we come home for the night, so I don't see why yours would be any different, and mostly likely way cheaper at a big event like that!

The Worst Seller Ever Posts: 4138 Location: Oklahoma	I live 2 hours away and usually just hauled in. The only reason I sayed overnight was if I drew up late one day and early the next. I just stayed at a barn over by Remmington. Super quiet and large stalls with turn outs.

Regular Posts: 57	I was thinking he would be much happier staying in his own pen, just really wanted to see if anyone had done it and it was possible. I never haul more the 2 hours away really and don't spend the night anywhere. I stay pretty local and never ran at anything with more the 300 or so entries, so something as big as BBR is a little scary.

Shelter Dog Lover Posts: 10277	I have not been to the BBR but I have been to many huge shows and I would definitely haul in and go home anytime I was close enough to make that possible.

Witty Enough Posts: 2954 Location: CTX	Yea anytime I am within 60-90 mins I haul in every day. Anything longer than that I usually stay the night. At home they are on a pasture 22 hours of the day. So if possible I just bring them home where I feel they are more comfortable. Doesn't matter how big or small the show is. Less stress on them from being stuck in a 10x10 stall all of a sudden, and also less chance of catching anything that might be going around. (I do desinfect the stalls if I stay overnight)

Regular Posts: 57	Thank y'all, just wanted to make sure it was doable with parking and a 1000 plus runners. Thinking I will be getting my entry in the mail.
