I caught a glimpse of Chayni on ESPN when I was at lunch today at a local sports bar... 
She is pretty classy for a little kid!!! Like one commentator said you ha e to appreciate the honesty of a child. |

| I witnessed Chayni make a smart run at an American qualifier. She is a great hand that pushes, but doesn't over ride her horse.
Perhaps they call it "The American" because so many individuals can make a go at it. It isn't restricted. It is open to all!
Good luck to all this weekend! |

This is why I started this thread...take a look at how this kid rides. Wherever she learned to ride, she learned correctly. I think we all need to find out and attend a clinic put on by that person. Her parents have her perfectly mounted too. That sucker works and some gas helps too. |

She was 14?? They made a big deal about her only riding horses for 2 years. She was strapped on and just along for the ride, horse was way too fast for her to keep up with. I don't know who in their right mind would strap their kid on a horse going 9-0 when they obviously don't have the ability or experience to stay on and ride it.
Flame away... Just not something I would let my kid do. Learn to ride first. The gal you were referring to also had a brother that ran in the slack, he also was strapped in. They were trained by a well known trainer that I have no respect for and needs to teach these kids a little horsemanship before putting them on these high powered horses. Everyone can flame me too. 
Yep, he ripped his horses face off coming off the 3rd, then spurred him into the alley, then ripped his face again. That's total class taught to him by a guy with total class. I'm being sarcastic. |

Her parents are good hands.
Some parents don't seem to understand that because you win doesn't mean you can ride and have good riding skills.

Location: In the Hills of Texas | There were quite a few kids that really rode well and they were from rodeoing parents. Etbauer, Nevala and Skelton jumps out right now and I'm sure there were more. Love watching those kids and then there are the others that you want to jerk off their horses. Been like this forever..LOL

Why not just say who it is? Everyone knows who you are talking about?
When you put a name on it, the thread gets frozen. It's better to let people quietly figure it out. Gotta leave room for deniability. Lol |

Usually, especially with a indoor arena, the ground is questionable/bad at first and by the 3rd or 4th day they have it figured out. NOT good ground the first day ( slack) the second day ( the first perf) to only get worse by the 2nd and 3rd perf? Sad when 6 of the top 10 all come from the first perf and the tuffest perf, the last perf has the worst ground. Things that make you go hhhmmm. Maybe, for marketing reasons, they wanted Chayni to advance in the #1 spot because it IS quite the story. She would have advanced, but advancing in the #1 spot is so much more marketable. Even ESPN thinks so. |

Oh Good Grief... And I am sure they rigged her time too. Because thats the only way they could ensure that happens.  |

Nooooooooooooo. But when she is sitting where she was, it is pretty easy to just not do the ground right to try to help her, stay in the #1 spot. Dont even try to tell me it doesnt happen because it does, seen it over and over again. Especially when the stock contrators daughter is running. Wonderful ground her perf. Crappy ground all the other perfs. |

Own It and Move On
Location: The edge of no where | Ground was no bueno for slack. We went and watch.... it started out sorta ok, went to crap...and then got better again. There was a big barrel race there the Sunday before 370ish, and I thought the ground was great when I ran. I just don't think the ground was very well prepped...but Northside is notorious for getting slick & hard, it wasn't anything new. |

I know I try my best but it is a struggle. It is never the same and I have been doing for >10 years. |

It is never the same and I have been doing for >10 years. I don't rodeo but have been to plenty of 3 and 4 day races with 600 plus runs a day and ground has been pretty even from the first run to 1800th run. If extra effort is required for a race of this magnitude and an opportunity to run for htis kind of $$ then do what it takes- I am sure it can be done.

Wow, you figured me out. I'm just so jealous because I have an opinion about the tactics of some barrel racers. Dang, my cover is blown. (((facepalm))) |
