| Any updates on how Radio is after his fall last night? I hope he's ok. Scared the heck out of me last night, such a great team. | |

| I saw that and was wondering the exact same thing - his knee took an unnatural bend in the wrong diretion. Prayers out to them = I hope he is ok.
I have decided that the NFR stands for Nightmare For Rodeo.... they seriously know these big horses are coming - they expect this "great production" and yet they cannot give these girls safe ground to run on. Clearly if you are not in the top five of the draw - it's a dangerous adventure to run up that alley - may as well "high lope" to that first barrel and pray your horse can get around it. Shame on the WPRA for not pitching a holy royal fit and getting better ground for them.  | |

| I was wanting her on her backup horse, but I didn't want Radio to get hurt. :( I bet she does give him a night off though, I know when I had the accident on the horse in my prof picture and she did the splits like that, she was lame for a few weeks (she got up lame though, and he finished his run pretty well, it'll all depend on how he looks when the adrenaline wears off.)
I'd rather be safe than sorry with this good of a horse.

I'm sure that Carley will have Radio checked out thoroughly before making any sort of decision on who to run from here on out... | |

Location: That part of Texas | One of my friends who is very close to Carley posted last night that they are both okay. I'm sure Radio is sore this morning and could use prayers right now. I hate that for them but am glad they are going to be okay. | |

Sometimes those super quick splat falls are easier on them than the ones where it seems to happen in slow motion and they struggle to keep their feet, or they only go halfway down and keep trying to grab ground. I sure hope he's ok. IMO it's a crime to provide dangerous ground year after year at the biggest rodeo of the season. Makes me want to kick some ass on the girls' and horses' behalf. It's rodeo, it doesn't have to be perfect, but it should be safe. They have had problems from Round 1, it should have been fixed by now. | |

You could see going to the second barrel that it hurt, and he looked off when she stopped him in alley too, while full of adrenaline. Horse's can have a lot of damage done when their legs split like that, and his back right also went in a weird angle in general. I would seriously question her motives if she's on him tonight, that's all I'm saying. | |

| I just got back from Vegas. At the NFR booth at the Sands, they were selling little bottles of dirt from the T & M. The label said it was specially made dirt for the NFR and that it was still the orginal dirt from the first Vegas NFR. I just shook my head. Then I thought maybe dumb people will buy so much that they will have to replace it lol.   | |

Are you kidding me? I really AM being nice when I say that it is best to not make statements such as these when you are not there, haven't seen the horse and have no business running your mouth! | |

I can have an opinion of whoever I want. Where am I running my mouth? You can see in the video he takes several off steps, that means "ouch, that kinda hurt", but he kept running. If you can't see that from the video, maybe you need your eyes checked. | |

Yes, you are absolutely entitled to your opinion, but to make a statement such as "I'd be questioning her motives" is not only completely unnecessary, but tacky. As I stated in an earlier post, I am sure that Radio will be checked over, cared for and the best, most well informed decision will be made. To type a statement that would imply that Carley would be unconcerned with her horses well being is not stating your opinion of how the horse looked after the fall, but does pretty well show what your opinion is of her as a person. That is where you got off track. | |

Location: Cocoa, Florida | I think what Wrap n Snap means is that she's no dummy, none of them are, I'm sure she will have him thoroughly checked from head to toe and she probably knows her horse best, if he's okay then he's okay to run. It may have looked worse then it was, the only ones who know are Carly and radio.

Her horses are like family just like ours are... Geez.... | |

LOL. My opinion should not matter this much to you. I said I will be questioning it if she decides to run him, I'm not saying anyone else has to. That's my opinion, how am I running my mouth for saying that? I did not say anything you are accusing me of saying. If you assumed that's what I meant, then you know what they say about assuming.
Oh and by the way, I have a lot of respect for Carley, and backed her going into the NFR, but that doesn't mean that I can't question some things she does. She is still human, and is not perfect. Just like all of us.
