| Well we could set on up here. But I dont have the first clue about what is involved in one. The facility I board at would let me use their huge indoor, with fees for insurance and such...
But I'm not sure how many people would travel to TN for a benefit barrel race. I was honestly looking for a relax setting for all of us to get together, enjoy meeting new people, making friends and enjoying some of Gods country.

yea thats a bit of a drive my max ability right now is 9 hours hauling. Because of the gas, but I'll be splitting it 4-6 ways. We have two ppl who are not bringing horses, but are going to ride the ones they have available at that farm. That's an option if you have the time to drive that far and a cheaper vehicle( like I have a focus. lol that'd be like 2 tanks of gas at 20s a tank! )
I'm going to start trailing around more soon, especially once I get this new job and have 3 day work weeks. My goal is to trail in every state. I'll come visit all the BBs!  |

It's 11 hours from me too. I like the idea of having a barrel race though... My kids would even enjoy that. |

Location: Texas | What is the estimated cost of this? It will be a 4 hour drive for me..
So lets just say May 15/16 are the dates
do we drive up the 15th? or 14th? For those with a longer drive that won't leave much drive time. Then we have to add in lodging fee's.. This place has good lodging for a group like us, I personally think it would be nice to maybe make this a few days longer and make a camp out of it.
For those of you that want a barrel race, chances are you still wou;dn't drive 10+ hours just to go to a barrel race... The trail ride is different than what we normally do and would be a blast! And maybe a mini vacay as well |

I agree. Plus gotta start somewhere and maybe this could lead to regional BHW rides or barrel races. We love our trail rides and camp time! |

| I have been on this site a looooong time and forgive me if I am incorrect but wasn't there a trail ride or get together many moons ago or am I dreaming things? Either way, it's a nice idea. I just can't find time in my summer schedule.  |

A weekend thing sounds good to me. So let's make the Haul night The friday. We'll stay Saturday and Haul out Sunday, which will give everyone the time they need to get home. I just wasn't sure how many would participate an entire weekend. =)
There's a few good deals on bunk houses and of course those who haul living quarter trailers have places to hook up water/electric.
I really wish it would let me edit polls. I'll edit the main post and put this in there though.

You might want to leave at least one stall open in your rig in case you have to haul one of those hog-tied brothers home with you!! |

I'm gonna put an orange handprint on Bugs rump and paint a white TN in it. lol
Here's my main man who will be making the trip with me. This was us in the fall. So it was about 6 months ago.

Location: Arkansas | Hoping to come, just waiting on the "for sure" date. My boyfriend has to have back surgery the 30th so that outcome will decide if we can or not. I'm an accountant, so we always take a "thank the good Lord the 15th is over" trip with our horses and hoping this ride can be it for us for 2015!! |
