| All of you need to watch this kid ride. There are three things that are in her favor. She is extremely well mounted--which means the horse matches her abilities and a little gas never hurts. I don't know who taught this kid to ride but she knows how to let the horse work. She weighs about 50 pounds. I think that everyone better watch out for her. When she gets to be 100 pounds she is going to be twice as tough too. That is name that you better remember. |

| I agree she is a heck of a jockey. And she just might win the million.

Location: In the Hills of Texas | She is a little hand and I love her horse but if the ground had been the same for the last 2 semi's, I doubt her time would have held up. Not taking anything away from her but I could just puke for all the girls that got screwed over by the ground last night and today. Absolutley no excuse for ground conditions like that in this day and age. I thought the BBR had control over the barrel racing...evidently not. Prayers that all the horses that slipped today are okay. |

Location: The Great Northwest | The ground I saw too was not consistent! It is just rodeo with some very valuable horses and riders.
Chani still did outstanding taking advantage of her go that day. Good Luck Chani! |

Tana and Goose were smokin' and they weren't even completely in a hurry from the third after the downed barrels. Don't know if the ground was a factor in them getting barrels for him or not, but they were scooting! |

Location: Crowder, OK | I think Chani would have been at the top or not far from it regardless of ground conditions, that was an oustanding run in that arena and if you watch her video, flojo slipped on the third barrel & caused him to step off just a hair so they could have been faster! that horse is awesome! I ran against her momma and that horse when my old horse was still alive. hes been a smoker for years! thats a great family and Im excited to see them do well. that lil girl rides better than most youth ive seen. i was sick for Karsyn cause she had a smoking run as well. those two lil girls have huge futures ahead of them.
as far as the ground, it really sucked for the other two go rounds! no rodeo round is never the same, thats rodeo, but when you are talking about an event like this, it should have been better.......I just really hope no one left there w/crippled horses, it was starting to look like the nfr................................

There is no doubt Chayni would have been at the top or very close to the top. Like you said she wasn't as tight on that last turn, but still smoked a run. Nice horse and jockey! Her interviews were so genuine and sweet!

I agree that if the ground was even, Chayni still would have made it back. Very cool horse and great little rider. |

Location: Kansas | Sorry to not be on the same team, but weight is a HUGE factor in barrel racing as in horse racing. If they're going to let children enter, then they should have a junior division. Isn't this why the WPRA, then the GRA, decided to make an age limit for members. |

Location: Adopt a homeless pet - www.petfinder.com! | I think it's fine if kids are allowed in the The American. This event is all about being able to enter and run and make it on your own merits regardless of age, gender, experience or amateur/professional status. May the fastest team win!

And then they would get told they shouldn't enter the youth because they're too good. Open to all comers is just that. Weight is a factor, but there are many others. |
