Location: Northeast SD | I feel like most of them are. I don't feel like a lot of them are really push style. One example off the top of my head would be JLo from this years NFR. |

| Brittanys mares were probably the most definition wise free runners imo. |

Location: 31 lengths farms | I see someone listed Paige as a free runner yet Amber had trouble at times getting her by the first barrel and some nights by the 3rd so now I've confused myself on what a free runner is. |

I was kinda wondering the same thing. Saying Paige is a free runner in the thomas and mack is like saying Bling was. Not so much... I think of a free runner as one that can kinda get by a barrel if your timing isn't just right to ask for the rate down. It would definitly be a horse that really listens to go forward body position coming into a barrel. Not one that you have to beg for 1 more step. |

I would think if you get a lot of the free runners in that small of a pen for that many runs they're gonna start cheating a little & need pushed around some. Some I thinks it's hard to say what they are too unless you're the one riding them. Sharpie seems like he'd be a free runner, Valor too. I kind of feel like thats not the best pen to judge what type of runners they are, especially the ones who run all 10 rounds |

Yep, totally get that. My little mare is a free runner but in small pens I don't have to beg so hard for her to rate and turn where as at Pendleton I start reminding her to rate when we unload. |

Amber lives up near me and I've seen Paige quite a few times and I don't think I'd ever consider her a free runner. I feel like shes either spot on or too tight/a little cheaty. I don't think I've ever seen the mare run by anything or Amber have to ask her to turn.. |
