blackhorse1 - 2016-04-13 9:23 PM So I am watching Redmond 2. Where can you find any info on this other than here say? Do they have slack or are there only a certain amount of entries per rodeo? Oh and please dear Lord..give a Rodeo 101 for Dummies for the announcers...I'm dying here!!!
What you see is what you get. There is no slack. All the contestants on the "tour" are during the performance. If you go to their site, you will see who is on the tour for each event. Those are the only ones competing..... at least right now.... Check out the www.erarodeo.com and their Facebook page. It's a public Facebook page anyone can view it whether you have a Facebook account or not. https://www.facebook.com/erarodeo
Why do they not show all of the competitors runs if there is only 11 of them???? |

| I agree. Why are we just showing a few? Also they didn't show that they DQ'd Callie for turning around in the alleyway. They showed her as winning 2nd I believe. AND then there is the Vegas comments. They won't say NFR or PRCA but they will refer to the NFR as VEGAS. WTF. They said Taylor has the record at Vegas. Well Vegas what?
It has been rumored that Wrangler dropped Trevor, Bobby, Kaycee, and Richie. Trevor has been wearing both Wrangler and Ariat at his last few events. also interesting as the rodeo world goes round  |

Location: A Higher Elevation | The rodeo at Redmond was about 3 hours long. There were no clown or specialty acts. There is no reason a rodeo with 7 events/10-11 contestants, should run 3 hours! If they compress that down to an hour, then they would show 5-8 per event, for time.
Just because you have a Gold Buckle, doesn't mean you know how to put on a rodeo.

I wonder if they will have a second year. I've heard so much negative about the venues, the announcers, the production, etc it seems like they are doomed to fail. But then again I wonder if it was like this for the PBR in the beginning?
They also don't seem to be getting as much outside attention to make rodeo mainstream like they thought they would. It's all a little lack luster. :/ |

| Why are they running back to a closed gate? They have run back to a closed gate in every performance I have watched in different venues. Why aren't they setting up some kind of alleyway? |

Location: Kansas | I've watched several now. Not impressed. What makes the contestants elite. If they're elite and special then prove it by competing against anybody who wants to butt heads with them. What makes the 10-year-old girl elite? Many questions. I see a pattern of arrogance here.

that's a good description 'pattern of arogance'. We are too good to compete with the riff raff, so we'll start our own organization so we can 'showcase' our talent. Turns out it's like just about any final night at a big rodeo. |

I'm just going to go out on a limb here and bet that little 10 year old girl has a resume much longer than many who question why she's elite. How about a 4th place finish at one of the BBR rounds just this last weekend out of 1780+ horses? Winning the semifinals to the American? Top 25 finish at a go there in 2015? Winning a round in 2014? Those took about 2 min of googling to dig up. What's wrong with just being happy for a kid having a chance to run at a top level? It's not like she hasn't been able to handily hold her own. |

 Why are they running back to a closed gate? They have run back to a closed gate in every performance  I have watched in different venues. Why aren't  they setting up some kind of alleyway?Â
Being in coliseums that aren't set up to be horse friendly most of the time, there could be concrete out back. Just a guess. |

Nothing umpteen jillion other 60 pounders haven't accomplished. Be real. She's there because she's a draw for the "cute" factor. The little person. The awwwww thing. |

What's wrong with choosing someone that happens to not only be able to be competitive at that level - but is a great marketing draw? I fail to see an issue.

Redmond always ran back to a closed gate, circuit finals and the fall rodeo last fall. Last time we were at Nampa and SLC, they ran back out an open alley way. |

The issue is the weight factor. Always has been.....always will be when you run juniors with adults.

There's so many other factors involved that being the lightest person in the field does not give you a win. Juniors are allowed to enter futurities, open races....there's a long list. Yes, some of them do well - but they don't stomp all over the competition. There's the people that will work harder, stay in top shape and do well............and there's those that will cry about smaller people taking their money (instead of getting in better shape themselves). |

Oh....come on....then please explain why the guys can out run LOTS of women and children that weigh less than they do...... And I know a LOT of 60# kids (and lightweight women) that can't out run a fat pig.....It takes a "talented" rider on a "talented" horse.....plain and simple! |
