| Thank you! It is a juggling act, but I feel I am doing what I am meant to do because God keeps putting great horses and people into my life and he has given me the most supportive family ever. |

Location: CTX | Carlee R Pierce - 2014-11-19 11:05 AM Hey everybody. I am new to posting on BHW. I usually don't get info from this web page until one of my kids or a friends tells me. Which I usually don't pay much attention too. However, since I know everybody is curious about who everybody is running at the nfr and why I am riding two very green to rodeo horses, I thought I would answer any questions y'all might have. I sold Arson. I love him and he is a super cool horse. I however, have to find a way to make rodeo pay. I have three children and a husband and real life expenses. So in order to stay on the road and continue to be the best home body I can be also, I try to sell the horses I can and replace them with horses I feel with time can be the caliber of Dillion and Arson. The girls I am taking to Vegas are young, but both have a solid foundation from great trainers. Lolo was started by Andrea Cline and Tiny by Samantha Flannery. Although, I may not have the NFR I want this year I know the experience will be great for them and I know after hauling in 2015 they will be super horses and I'm very excited about them. We all know my last two finals weren't the best with the best horse (IMO) out there so why not go in there and have fun and try my best with these two. My goal this year is to keep barrels up!!! Happy Thanksgiving and if anybody has any questions please ask me.
Good luck, and have fun in Vegas! You never know what might happen!   |

I think it is great to see real people living the dream. With real life comes hard choices, like selling horses and running new ones. This demonstrates to me someone who has thier priorities in line, and is still living life to its fullest. Good luck Carlee and have some fun!
Well said !!!!! |

| What are these two horses bred like, and what do you think are their strengths (as barrel horses, not necessarily for the NFR atmosphere). As a breeder (small scale) I always like to read up on the qualities and characteristics of talented barrel horses. Thank you, and good luck! |

Yes to what Whiteboy said. And as I stated on the other post I love the ASOF horses so I will be anxious to see how these two mares work out for you in the coming year. Good luck! |

| Both are A Streak of Flings. They are total opposites! Lolo is very conservative and just goes with the flow. I feel like she is a winner and can be great because even though she makes mistakes (or I do) she is very willing to make everything correct. She turns super fast and correct. I like the four wheel drive feeling when they turn a barrel and she has that. She has the want to in her eyes all the time. She has shown she can compete with the best it's just not as consistent as she will be in the next year. Lolo looks the part. She has great confirmation from head to tail to feet.
Tiny on the other hand is a fireball. She isn't, in my opinion, put together as well, but she has a natural ability like I've never seen before. She still goes in and makes stupid mistakes because she is so talented and thinks she is better than she really is. Lol. But she right now is capable of winning at any level as long as I ride her correct because she is not as forgiving as lolo is. |

| I went all the way around that question. Lol. I like to buy horses that are at least started and show athletic ability and if they are running I like the ones that are not winning necessarily but I can see they have a lot more to give with a little fine tuning. I love trainers because they get them to the point where I can take them and make them rodeo winners. I feel not all great futurity or jackpot horses will make great rodeo horses. Just like not all rodeo horses make good jackpot horses. |

| Carlee,
Thank you for coming on BHW and talking with us. I think that is down right awesome of you. High fives! I was fortunate enough to have friends send me the pedigrees to your ASOF's and Holy Smokes! What a nice set of horses! The one out of the Doc O Dynamite mare made me seriously drool. I can't wait to see her in action. How can you not have a blast on those mares! Good luck and have fun!
ps....if you have any old tack, trophy saddles, etc hanging around that you don't want, I take donations.....just thought I'd throw that out there :) |
