 Don't Wanna Make This Awkward

Location: Texas | Well I for one will say Chayni and Flo Jo are a perfect match. You can look on youtube, she knows how to ride, there's video's of her doing well on other horses.
Not sure how or why this turned into a bashing post for Allie & Max Cheoust.. Allie is 14 and Max is 11?(not 100% sure on his age) BUT they are still kids and don't deserved to bashed publically on here whether you say their name or not. If you think they won't see it you're wrong, you would be surprised at the number of people that read these posts on here. If you don't like the way Talmadge rides/trains take that up with him, i'm sure no one on here would even say anything in person. I'm pretty sure they've had several of their horses for 2-3 + years they have to be doing something right to keep them winning.. |

| Ground can change from day to day - rodeo has always been like that and always will be. I think that little girl did a great job and nothing should be taken away from that. |

For the final round Samantha Lyne was there along with Shada Brazile. Samantha was the only barrel racer for the first two rounds. |

It is sad when adults are proud of themselves for putting a child down. They are out there trying and learning. We all had to start somewhere. They just so happen to qualify for a very large televised event instead of just sticking to 4H and playdays. Good for them! There are days I wish I was strapped in on one of my horses! And as for the bad behavior of the boy after his run...remember he is young! He is just a kid! I bet every single one of us on this board have had moments when we took something out on a horse when we shouldn't have because we let our emotions get to us, but lucky for us we most likely did it at a small little show without thousands watching. Keep in mind we probably only had a ribbon on the line and not a million dollars. Give the kids a break and just be happy there are youth out there wanting to do their best and continue to work hard in this sport even if there are adults out there clucking behind their backs. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I'm still chuckling about Chayni's response when she was asked the first time what she would do with a million dollars if she won. She said she would build an indoor arena and then give the rest to charity. After Uncle Sam gets his cut..that should leave her with about $12.00. LOL
Chayni is certainly a cute little girl with lots of positive energy. She was certainly raised right and we need a lot more kids like her. Seems like she is a champion in and outside the arena.

I will be rooting for Chayni all the way. I think she is a really neat little kid and she could ride the hair off any horse you put under her. |

Spin Doctor - 2015-02-23 5:35 PM Just curious...how many of you have tried to keep ground even for all perfs? I know I try my best but it is a struggle. 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.
But in that case they are maintaining it throughout, working to make one discipline happy. So you notice it's getting a little dry at run 145, you probably have a big drag at 150 to put a little water on, you're keeping it worked up with drags every 5 etc etc.
Not trying to make it good for Broncs, then ropers, then bulldoggers, Broncs again, Ropers again, barrel horses, and bulls.
Because if yours going to work the ground specifically to one event you have to work it specifically for all of the events.
I'm not saying the ground couldn't have been better, it could have. But comparing it to the consistency of jackpot ground isn't apples to apples either. |

Agree, I guess trying to mix a barrel race with a rodeo takes more work than they were willing to do. They need to figure something out though because they qualified through barrel races not rodeo and BBR was supposed to give them barrel racing ground which is why they dragged the ground to groom it. |

Yep, thought of that after I posted, you are right. I got stuck on the qualifiers being barrel racers and BBR dragging during the rodeo. |

There was a lot of money generated from all the barrel racing entries. Maybe they will have an American Barrel Race straight race in the future. |

| I was once the little girl on the powerful gray horse running against the adults. The hatred was insane. I'd love nothing more than to see this little girl take it all! Go all the way Chayni! |
