| Okay, so I guess I have lived under a rock or something. Not trying to start anything, but I keep seeing all these posts about starfishing. I google it, and can't really find anything that will explain what it is?
Is this some made up term? Good/bad?? |

| I'm not sure,but I think it has something to do with kicking (big) while running barrels. I could be wrong,though  |

Location: Stuck in a cubicle having tropical thoughts | I'm glad somebody else asked because I must be living under that same rock. All I can figure out is I think some people were 'making fun of' or 'bullying' Sarah McDonald because of the way she rides Bling. I guess I don't get it. She is the reigning rookie of the year and will be making her first NFR appearance and don't forget her NBHA World Championship......so she must be doing something right (insert sarcasm)

This. From what I gather on Instagram there are some accounts/users that are taking pictures of random barrel racers w/out their permission and posting them to their "animal abuse" accounts and calling the girls bad horsewomen. They have been posting negatively about Fallon, Sarah, Lindsey McLeod.... The barrel racing community (Fallon and Co., Callie D., and Team McLeod) are all banding together and trying to stand against the "animal abuse" accounts from bullying. Atleast that's what I gather. |

| Well what a shame. People can be rude. Makes me think of this certain FB group......with the word tack in it.
Anyways, thanks for letting me know. Sounds like a lame term made up by haters.

Location: In the saddle enjoying the East Texas sky | Yes and the hate and criticisms are mostly from people who are not barrel racers. The ones who are (or claim they are) have not proved to be very successful, but still manage to label themselves as trainers. Just jealous kids getting "Instafamous".
ETA: I have never cared what other people do (as long as it doesn't affect me) , and now a days there are people investing their time into creating anonymous social media accounts to make fun of other people. I wish I had that kind of time on my hands. Lol

Well don't feel bad. I started out wondering if there was a market for these things that I'd never heard about.

| I could call my pictures bullfrogging because I look just exactly like a big fat bullfrog sitting up there running out. No way in this lifetime or another for that matter, would I buy a picture of me running out of the arena. Also there is no way I could possibly get my legs up that high. Just doesn't happen when you are 65. |

I don't know how folks have time to argue about barrel racing when they don't participate or know anything about it. Lol |
