Hey, it doesn't matter what you show up to the race IN, it's what you back out of the trailer  |

| I have to agree with vjls, I just don't hear too many complaints about the higher D runners. I always figure, hey we have all been there at some point on one horse or the other. I have a very dear friend that is up in age and I love yelling for her at the barrel race. She would just be happy to place in a high D. |

| There's a group of women in my area that are so mean and gossip and post very negative things on FB about other riders ane producers. I just don't get it. It's so junior high to me. I just think it's all what goals you have with your horse. Not what anyone else is doing. I never give it a second thought what people drive or what division they run in. Hell I have won some good checks in the 4d on bad runs. They all spend the same. My friend who is novice is more than happy running and getting checks in the 5d. That's what it's about. Being happy with yourself. Most people who talk bad about other people are very insecure. |

| I've learned lessons from those running in the 5D to the 1D and I've learned something from those driving the 100,000 rigs and those driving 1000 rig. I've seen it and I still do, those select few that give you the up down when you pull into a race or standing in line to pay your entry or warming up your horse. I was 17, living on my own, working two jobs, school, and trying to run barrels. I would haul almost 2 hours to make it anywhere. One weekend I hauled 3 hours for a race, showed up in my 1/2ton pickup, two horse(shoty little thing but it had tires and got me where I thought I needed to go), entered late so I had to be the last horse running. I got the looks, especially when I made it the barn with my hairy mammoth. Warmed up and stayed to myself in the corner waiting our turn. I placed 2nd that night. I loaded him back up in my little rusted two horse and headed home. I remember thinking to myself on my way home that night.... I don't have to have the latest and greatest to keep up with everyone else, I could feel proud of what I have. The next race I went to I was very surprised when a few people remember who I was and were all grins and smiles. I always felt intimidated by those driving the fancy rigs, or the high dollar horses, saddles, etc, that night I felt proud of my rusty two horse, little silver pick up, and my home grown cow pony... Even though I might have managed to buy myself the nice things, I still remember where I started and what it was like when those few people would take time out of their day to help me, give me a smile, congratulate me and I try to make sure I do the same now. |
