| Can someone explain what this is about in a non-Hitler kinda way?
We have ride times where 10 people are in the arena at a time and can do whatever they want for a 20 minute block, but we still have regular exhibitions too. |

| We Texas girls do have it good, I don't think we would survive up north. I have noticed in the run videos from up north, the tiny pens, closed gates, dry dirt, people standing behind the barrels. We are spoiled, someone is sure to pitch a fit down here if any of the above happend at one of our jackpots, lol. We don't go to any tiny pens or ones that require a closed gate. Our 60 second exhibitions mean just that, for 60 seconds we control the arena. We don't have timed riding slots in the arena for several horses at once, most all of our pens have a separate warm up area and our weather allows for year round use. I was at a local jackpot, took 4 horses, plan for one was to make a run during exhbition just like a regular run since I was not entering him. There was bad weather so they were letting people warm up behind the 3rd and some people were circling the 3rd. When my turn came up I asked the gate worker if everyone could just stand in the corner for a minute, didn't want a wreck and also was trying to mimic a regular run. He was from up north and boy howdy, he called me a jackpot queen, made quite a few faces, mumbled and grumbled about being down south at which my friends jumped in and proceeded to give him a mouth full, that we paid for 60 seconds, it is our 60 seconds to use as we wish. That is the way we do it down here. |

Location: Jersey Girl | Seriously, there are venues that allow others in the arena during your exhibition?  I wouldn't like that at all.....
We usually have open arena before exhibitions and sometimes just after exhibitions but not during....

Location: sunny california | not everyone is going for it for an exhibition. I usually just trot or lope to settle my horse and welcome others while i am in there. however I have seen others want to make a run and the girls left without an attitude. maybe we just get along better and are more cooperative in these parts. |

Location: Displaced Iowegian | Even though we are continually told that things are MUCH better in Texas……shame on you for “dissing” the barrel racers from the “North”. You “might” have seen videos of such things but it is NOT the norm. Yes, there are places that sell 20 minute time slots; yes, there are places where there is an open arena BEFORE the exhibitions and yes, we do have small pens just because we don't live in boondock junctions. I have NEVER made an exhibition run with other people IN the arena….so please, do the “northerners” a favor and don’t make “blanket assumptions”. |

I am from the north and our exhibitions are not on the stakes, and are not timed but we have the arena to ourselves for 60 seconds (though in most places it is one time through the pattern only). I have allowed others in during my exhibitions when we were at a large show and they were getting close to stopping the exhibitions and there were others left with paid tickets in hand waiting. We also have time slots at some of the bigger runs which I actually prefer. I feel for $10 for 10 minutes in the arena and the opportunity to go around the pattern as many times as I want in that amount of time is a much better deal than $5 for one time thru the pattern plus everyone is always very courteous. |

Slow down there grumpy bear, I was not dissing the "northerns" at all, I was more poking fun of us southerners and how cushy we have it and how we have come to expect it to be that way. No where did I state it was being done wrong up north or not done as well as we do it or say we do it the right way or a safer way. Relax and get happy, you might take things differently! |

Location: California | I loved this video! TOs aren't like this at all the races, but definitely the bigger ones I've been at. They don't bother me at all, but I think I would like being assigned a time slot. At the West Coast finals they had a full day of TOs and the line was crazy long. It would have been awesome if they had sold time slots, but I was grateful to have the opportunity to do a couple of TOs with standing in line for awhile vs. not having them at all. |
