| I would love to see her run again. IMO she can shut the clock off!
You want a horse that can clock even after major mistakes!
As far as her in the alley...here are my thoughts:
I have never ridden the horse, been around the horse, schooled the horse....nothing.
How can one make a fair assessment if you have not done any of those things? IMO-you can't!
Hope to see her again!

| My biggest hope each night is to see that mare run again. The way she acted in the alley doesn't scare me near as much as her speed...I bet she'd leave somebody at a barrel in the blink of an eye pretty easily. |

If so, I can see why she chose to stay on him. I would ride my main mount too. Don't get me wrong I would LOVE to see Twisted Sister but I can appreciate wanting to stay on your main horse for the NFR. |

Location: Eastern OH but my heart is in WV | Has anyone ever seen TS run in a different venue? I am just wondering if she is this "high wired" all the time? What is she normally like and if the set up at the TM center along with all the excitment of the atmosphere makes the mare more on edge than normal?
We have a gelding that can be a handful when we have to enter from a side gate & get lined up to run. He works much better at the gate when it is a "straight" run in. So this just made me wonder about TS.

Yes, Clancy won probably 80 percent or more of her money! |

that's fine but Clancy hasn't shown that he can get it done at the T&M either.....by about .2-.4
maybe some small change can get it there because he doesn't look comfortable from about 10 feet before the 1st and 2nd barrel until he is lined up coming out...
idk... |

| CYA Ranch - 2013-12-06 11:19 AM DunIt - 2013-12-06 10:41 AM Do yall not remember Charmayne talking about how bad Scamper was in the alley at the TM? CJ has always talked about how Scamper was a handful only because he WANTED to run which looked no different to me than Sister did last night. Its not like she was trying to get the flock out of there, she wanted to hunt down a can!
CJ made the comment at a clinic I was at that her biggest fear was Scamper was going to take off before it was his turn and take off with another horse in the pen.
Yep. I think I remember an old story that because of an odd set up, Scamper took off too soon, ran into a cement wall, knocked himself down. Got up, made the turn he should have made, ran in the gate and won the rodeo. Tough sonofagun. |

| In the video of the outdoor pen, TS just looked anxious and was ready to go, but completely controllable, not refusing to go. I think the tunnel at T&M makes her claustrophobic, plus the tight quarters and other horses jammed up against her. I feel sorry for that mare because of all the people on here calling her crazy. I don't think she's crazy, her nerves obviously can't handle too much. Not that I would desire to own or ride one that fractious, but you have to accept them as they are. Think about it- we are asking a WILD animal to do all sorts of unnatural things, just by letting us get on their backs!! I hope Sydni can run a few more rounds on her.
this got me to wondering, are they allowed to "school" their horses and ride the tunnel during the day while nothing is going on? |

Yes, and she is like this all the time. Brenda has seen her snubbed to another horse until time for her run and then Sydni climb on and go. You can't have another horse with you in the alley, and was suprised to see TS in there the other night, unless Sydni made a last minute horse change and then they couldn't get TS out of there. Grounds for a fine, but don't know the circumstances so don't know if that happened or not. |

| she is super fast, but a handful at the gate and has always been this way, I could be wrong but I don't think you will see her run again there. Barry Bader is the one who has been working with her and he is there to help her get in but he had his hands full he had a leather line run though the neck rope like the do when they load race horses and just let go of one end of the leather so it came off and just left the neck rope. I just dont want to see anyone get hurt. I know that Clancy hadn't been clocking lately but he is the one she rode at most rodeos, she did run Victory AKA "twisted sister" at a lot of the indoor rodeos. I'm sure there is a fine for having them both in the alley the other night. I sure thought Clancy looked a lot better last night, cleaned up his turns, I bet he gets faster.

Do they have "alley bosses" like they have the "chute bosses" that make sure the rodeo keeps moving along? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I would guess they want you mounted on your horse while you are waiting in the alley. Since Sydni walked her all the way down and didn't get on until Trula was running, I would guess the "alley boss" didn't really like that so much and said you have to be mounted or you can't run her or face a fine?? |

I just love how people think they "know" a horse based on seeing it ONE time at ONE run. Then they call it names, say it's unsafe and act all knowing.
Truth? You don't know ANY horse seeing it run ONE time.
The NFR sure brings the Idiot out in people and sure does show the people that should and shouldn't be giving advice out on a public forum.
I'm assuming this was directed at me. First off you have no idea who I am or what I do , have done or have seen. Secondly, seeing 14 horses that are controlled without issues and not rearing straight up and taking off out of control is quiet enough to to see the true horse. As we know you see the true horse when its under pressure. She can't handle the pressure without losing her scrupples. And I was not giving advice I was giving my opinion which obviously some people cannot handle if it is different than there own. To throw accolades at a horse that is acting like a screw is a total disrespect to those that are keeping their composure in the alley. |

I am not sure why they would have a problem with her not being on the horse, look at all the ropers and doggers a lot of them wait till last minute to get on because they are watching the start. I will say though when sister came up the alley being led in front of Shada, then they showed Trevor on the camera screen he looked kind of P.O.ed but not sure if he could even see what was going on. I thought that was kind of rude to hold up Shada like that, I am thinking she run her again when she is towards the beginning so she doesn't have to sit in the alley for a long time. |

Some people are really getting happy with the dislike button. The other day I made the comment to htbrlvr because he was complaining of seeing the same commercials over and over. I just said I was happy that they didn't have the Viagra commercials they kept running a few years ago when it was on ESPN. I got a dislike! WTH? Oh well |
