astreakinchic - 2015-02-24 5:19 PM Well I'm glad this post got the Facebook posts took down JUST now proof team talmadage reads this....
Actually, the neat cowy turning barrel horse, BUDDY ROSE, that Destri  Devenport qualified on, is one of Allie Chouest horses. Buddy Rose is not registered, and I believe he was her main mount when she & her brother Max, started running a few years ago.
What does this haft to do with what I said? And I know the horse..

| As someone pointed out earlier, here you can hide by a screen name and facebook has no hiding. Once again you are flaming the McKenzie Morgan family when on facebook by their real names, both parties have supported each other and said kind and wonderful prayer words for each other. As for that wonderful horse H2, he has been cleared to run and did not run in Texas until Wednesday of the slack performance. McKenzie rode a borrowed horse on Sunday. You have stated enough bad vibes about this family and this horse.
As to Chayni, go get um KIDO!!! You can ride with the best and smile better than the rest. Don't let all these bad words drag you down. You did not purchase your way into the finals, you rode your way into the finals. You are not a passenger, you drive your horse and you ride as a team. My hats off to you and your family for giving you the chance and my prayers to them for having the strength to let such nasty people roll off their backs.

Location: Riding Crackhead. | Just Bring It - 2015-02-24 4:03 PM rodeomom13 - 2015-02-24 3:52 PM I have no problem with the kids. That's not my issue. It's the adults who are in charge of the kids and their tactics. Putting kids on horses that they are not experienced enough to handle properly. Horsemanship first is what I teach my kids. And it shows with Chayni's parents, she has real horsemanship skills. Hate my opinion all you want, I have a thick skin.
If you want to call an opinion bullying, that's fine. Attacking someone for sharing an opinion you don't agree with is no different. Hello, pot. I'm kettle. Guess what? We're both black.
Having an opinion is fine! I am not saying you shouldn't feel the way you do or have your opinion. Not everything is directed about what you had said either. But the way some things were worded by a few posters would be hurtful for a child to read. There are ways to word things that are constructive and ways that are hurtful. Some comments by a few came across as snarky and not nice. They were not just voicing an opinion.
Anyways GO CHAYNI GO! 
Sara you're probably referring to my opinions and yes I do think its dangerous to put kids on horses hat are too much for their experience level and I put that blame on their so called trainer. I also agree that Chayni is well matched with her horse and I give her folks a huge pat on the back for that. |

Actually, again,,,,,I have not seen ONE single bad thing said about Chayni. NOT ONE!! So you all need to get off that horse.
Now, as to the rest about the other kids mentioned in here, Phulease. I for one applaud ANYBODY, for being safety minded and taking care of themselves by wearing a helmet or a magic seat for that matter!! Seriously???? Do you buckle your seat belt? Would you rather see anybody recieve a serious brain injury? If I rode the horses that kid is riding, I'd use a magic seat to!
Truth be known, I fear for Chayni running on sunday back into that extremily short alley box, without a helmet on. Yep, she rides the hair off that horse and he is a awsome horse! Yet, she is very little so not a whole lot of leg on that horse so it is easy to get launched and that run out, is EXTREMILY short! Not much more then a ropin box.

Location: Kansas | Soooooo if some racehorses in the Kentucky Derby were forced to carry an extra 100 lbs, you're saying it would still be an even contest? A little confused here. I remember in our NBHA group junior riders carrying off the trophy saddles every year. They didn't want anything to do with the junior division. There was more money in riding with heavier riders and their parents knew that very well.

There are plenty of other events for adults only. This is just happens to be one where anyone can play. Let the kid have her day in the sun. If I were Chayni, I'd be insulted. Sure she weighs less than a tick, but she outrode. Period. |

Agree, advantages come in all forms, from coming from a rodeo family and growing up riding vs beginning as a teenager. Congrats to all who made it however they got there.
There were probably way more riders in the open which added to the pot. We have 8 and 9 year olds in our area who can win the open, I never thought they should not be able to enter but always admired their ability at such a young age. |

Location: Riding Crackhead. | The American was designed to give a shot to the underdog and to change lives. The actual rodeo isn't even here yet and lives have already been changed. Mission complete. I also want to say I've had my butt kicked by kiddos smaller than me and adults bigger than me. |

| I am a Chayni fan all the way. I think this little girl has more class in her Pinky than a lot of people do. She outran a lot of people by her horsemanship. Her run was as smooth as glass. Smoothness makes up a lot of time. She sat on top of her horse and never got in his way. Her horse fits her like a glove! A race is won by team effort and that team is awesome! Hats off to you little angel! Ride like you did with that run and you will be there again! GO CHAYNI!!!!!! |

And like I said previously, I am probably one of those youth riders you are talking about depending on how long ago you want to go back. I had the horse of a life time when I was little, he (Kansas Poco Star AKA Feet) was 18 years old when I was 11 and I had a few years that I still dream about. BUT what you are saying is because I was a chubby little 11 year old, I should not have been able to run for more money, and possibly take yours because the only reason I was winning is because of my age? Not because my horse with or without me could out run most other horses!?!?!?
Plain and simple this is pure JEALOUSY and IGNORANCE! You are just jealous it isn't you or your child kicking butt!

Wanted to add that I think everyone agrees that weight is factor, along with which ground you get to run on, how long you have been riding, whether you have a rodeo horse or a jackpot horse, male or female jockey, etc. That is the American Rodeo- open to anyone- no artificial controls on who gets to play, no controls to try and "even" the game. I love it.

As said many times on this thread, FloJo was ran by Chayni's Grandmother and Mother and they both have won some good money on the horse. I am sure they weigh just a little more than a 9 year old.
Weight does play a factor BUT I think being in tune with your horse and having great balance is an even bigger factor. |

Don't like the premise???? Don't go......stay some place where YOU can control the outcome of every race.....maybe run in your back yard against the neighbor????
