| Considering what they had to work with the committee and the judges did an amazing job fixing the ground!! They truly cared about the barrel racers and it showed! Thank you CFD and judges!! Hats off to anyone who put up $400 to run at one of the biggest rodeos of the year and no matter if they cracked out a 4 year old or rocked orange pants they were busy being awesome while others were busy being negative. Enough said. |

| It's funny to me that every other sport can be on SPORTSCENTER and be analyzed to death, but anytime someone gives their own opinion (which they are entitled to and free to speak it) about a barrel race they are vilified.

That is what the mods put there after Obama got elected and some on here thought he was going to be a great president. I then said I would also prefer living in a fantasy land but unfortunately I live in the real world.

| Wow. When I made that post, I was simply mentioned what was going on with a few of the key players and horses people have been asking about recently. There was no sarcasm or malicious intent when I posted it. So if you view my comments as being negative, then that is what you made up in your own head and not at all what my intentions were. Christy, your daughter sure had a nice run. I remember her when she was little and you were pregnant with your son. She sure has gown into a lovely young lady. |

I can't tell from the website--what day will the second go take place?
I may be wrong but I believe the top 96 from the 1st will be split over next week (starting this Saturday til next) 12 will run each night and then the top times on a two run average will advance to the final go. |

Thank you, I am very proud of my daughter! I guess I found your comments about Fallon's clothes being hideous extremely negative.she is a personal friend of mine and has always been kind to me and my family. While I totally agree that you have the right to speak your mind in here it would be awesome to be positive and encouraging. I find it disappointing in our barrel racing community that even though we all share the same passion for something we all are so critical. Just a side note: Kids love Fallon and her crazy orange pants and I can't tell you how many times I have seen her and her alone stay to sign autographs for every single little girl barrel racer long after everyone else left.:) if your intentions were not negative then please forgive my post. I've been wrong before:)

Posts: 5417
| SKM - 2014-07-16 7:38 AM There were only 6 tipped barrels in all. The ground was not as horrible as all the Facebook posts by people that have never been to the pen told everyone they were. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang looked like a 4 year old at this rodeo and had problems. Fallon was sporting her Denver Bronco fan outfit. Orange pants and hat with a blue shirt (I personally thought it was hideous). Sherry Cervi was on a sorrel with a big white face. Jana Beams horse looked like he was out there just loping the pattern but he really clocked. June was on a palomino that I believe is owned by her sister. JMHO but Laura Lambert should be the one that could very will jump in there and win it as basically a wild card no one really expects.
I do see Christy's point about the negative comment towards Fallon. Seems like there are a few people around here who like to not like her, but from what I've seen, she's one of the only girls out there who always has a smile on her face and actually makes eye contact and acknowledges you when you ride past her. Believe it or not- that's not real common out there- |

| I'm sorry if my finding the color combination of orange and blue as not working and looking bad together was viewed by you as being negative. I never once assaulted her character ot her as s person. I said I found the outfit to be hideous because the only time orange and blue work together is during football season. If it was orange and yellow, I probably would have liked it. She is a very personable girl and I see why young girls are drawn to her. But even fashion icons like Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron and Beyonce have made The Fashion Polices worst dressed list. Again, I never said anything negative about her as a person. Just that one particular color combination choice. |

 Own It and Move On
Location: The edge of no where | SKM - 2014-07-16 9:34 AM Yeah, lol! She got real strong going to first and basically stuck her nose in the air and did her own thing. Britt was not looking very amused after she finally got her stopped and was exiting the pen.
Babies are SUCH fun...... I really like that mare, I think given a bit more time to mature and get consistent...she'll be one heck of a horse (not like she doesn't have a pretty incredible record already).
My hats off to Brittany for the job she's done with her.

Fallon's outfits are meant to be out there...wild, bold and fun...that's the whole point...I admire her free spirit.
Watching the Calgary Stampede, I admired her petting on Babyflo leaving the arena...
The time to be critical, is when someone is jerking on their horse after a run....that makes barrel racers look like fools....and we shouldn't be afraid to speak up, and tell them to knock it off...or at least give them a cold hard stare. |
