Location: Montana | Because I didn't want to steal the other person's thread on here (I did see that video too), but here is another barrel racing horse wreck with a GOOD outcome.  This particular one had about 3 million views.

| I can't help myself when it comes to videos on fb, I read the comments lol! Some people said she wasn't a real cowgirl because she fell off so easily when the horse did a tiny crow hop. Geez... I think she did a great job, and so gracefully! It was a great lesson for that horse as well... pitching his rider on the way to the first , doesn't get you beat up or get you out of finishing the pattern lol! |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | LOL, I would not call that a wreck, just a horse being a butt head. To the ones on facebook saying she was not a real cowgirl because she came off, I say WRONG she is a real cowgirl she came off with grace and still had the reins in her hand and got back on, the horse caught her off guard and she was getting ready for the turn if she was not in that position getting ready for that first barrel she would not have come off that gray,, True cowgirl right there |

Location: Texas | Heck yeah, she's a cowgirl. She even let him go to the 2nd and 3rd barrels and run out. A lot braver than I would have been. |

Location: Montana | I know she handled it better than I would have! She did a great job, that's why I wanted to share it. I'm pretty certain if it were me I would have had tears streaming down my face (more from embarrassment, LOL), and I'm not sure I would have had the courage to get back on and finish the pattern.

Location: The best kept secret in TX | Oh my goodness. The fact that she was like: "TADAH!" After she got back up shows just how great of a spirit she has. She didn't scold the horse. Didn't get angry just kind of went: "Okay, I can roll with this, let's try again". I love that. Kudos to this cowgirl right here! |
