Location: Florida | I just like having something to watch on barrel racing. I don't think they'll give too much away because most of these girls have things you can BUY for tips. Yesterday's was better than the dog training one! lol
I do agree I wish they'd talk more about some things related to their processes with their barrel racing careers and their horses, even if they didn't give out too many riding tips! |

Location: Missouri | I have been enjoying them all. Are they completely about barrel racing, no, but it gives an inside look into these girl's lives. Barrel racing isn't just riding and training and racing, it's a daily routine these girls do everyday and the look into these girls lives is interesting. Horses make them money, but their pets and daily habits is what separates them. We can buy training tips from these girls or go to clinics, but we can't buy a look into who they are as people. |

I left a comment on the FB page! Maybe if more would do the same, they would change?
I thought about leaving a comment on their FB page too but didn't want to seem like I wanted to take anything away from the service man who was on there. The first 2 shows were good but the exercise show, the dog training show, and last night the bird and pig show....UGH, lol. Also, I'm not sure letting them know we would love more barrel racing content would help for this season anyway....I'm sure all the shows were filmed months ago. Does anyone know? I really love the idea of this show and appreciate all the hard work and effort that has been put into it though!!  |

I think the name makes it misleading... "Racers Edge" gives me the impression that you are going to hear about things that give them an "edge" over the competition. I'm not a very starstruck person so the spotlight on who the barrel racer is doesn't really interest me. I do wish them luck with the show though.

| I am not a star struck kind of person. I don't buy People or any of those mags, but I love people watching. I am a pretty plain person and I love seeing how different everyone is. If you really watch you will see a little bit of why they are where they are in barrel racing. Did anyone catch how honest Taylor Jacob was about doing so well at her first NFR and then the following season? Or Ryanne's view of herself. To me it humanizes them and encourages people to keep trying to be their best. |

I loved the show featuring Taylor!! It was so great to hear her talk about that pressure she felt which she let get to her. She forgot to just go out and ride for herself and not for everyong else. It was so real and I think we all can relate (maybe on a smaller scale but just the same). |

I really enjoyed the show with Taylor too. That is more of the meat, for me. Good one on one conversation about the struggles they have delt with and the things they have had to overcome. That is good stuff to me!

| I really liked the one with Jolene and Ryanne, and thought the demonstration on sitting to outside then stepping in to make one snappier was useful and informative. I wish they were all like that one... I guess we can always buy a trainingbarrelhorses membership though if we want to see more stuff like that. Does anyone know if that was from the Q and A webcast they did |

...how do I know i don't like it, till I watch it?? The name implies it's going to be about racing, not dog training. I think Dena would not mind input on what viewers want to see. High view ratings =high advertising rates=ultimate longevity of the show. Do the math. I love Dena, by the way, and didn't necessarily DISlike the dog thing, but I recorded it to watch and learn about barrel training, not dog training. It's simply my opinion, you don't have to be rude. Have a nice day :) |

Good input. My sources tell me Dena will personally make a visit to BHW and answer and listen to all suggestions! |

Kinda where I'm at on it. I tried to be a fan, but I think I'm giving up on it. |
