Location: Displaced Iowegian | grinandbareit - 2015-10-21 9:10 PM Well... that did it for me. I'm happy for Chayni, but that just took it out of "professional" for me. I don't think that kids should be allowed in... not that my opinion matters two doodles! LOL
The word "professional" does not appear in their name....Elite Rodeo Association |

You're right about that... maybe that's why. Maybe because I have raised my kids, but I just feel like there should be some things that are reserved for adults only. I guess I'm old school. I don't like that kids go to Vegas... Who wants to take their kids to Vegas???? Go to Disney for Pete's sake, and leave us some grown up stuff that we can do, kid free, that doesn't have XXX over the door. :/
PS... I LOVE kids... I have four of my own and five grandbabies that I adore. BUT there are some places that I think should be left for the adults.

Location: MD | I think it's super cool that the ERA is allowing a youngun' in. As was stated, Charmayne started winning world titles as a teen. Fallon, Angie, Rachel Myllimaki, Lindsay Hays and a host of others were making runs at the NFR as pre teens and teenagers. I think it's great to see Chayni being invited to perform on such a large stage and I think that she'll draw a ton of fans to the organization to see her. |

Location: Texas | I would rather see Karsyn Daniels up there if there's gonna be a young one competing. That little girl is impressive, in and out of the arena. No offense to Chayni by any means, but she is just too young imo
The lineup will be totally different when you have to qualify. |

I love Karsyn and her family are good people, but if we think of what Karsyn was exposed to at a much younger age than Chayni is now, your point about her being too young becomes moot... |

Why no Angie Meadors? Danyelle Campbell? They do a lot of modeling, ride a lot of good horses and have been to the NFR. What about Molly Powell? She can jump on any horse and win. She's a jockey!! Tammy Fischer? Jackie Dube J always brings people to the fences.
Agree. who wouldn't come to see the Wild Child! |

Location: Texas!! | I will watch it if it's on TV. I'm a fan of several of these young ladies!! But, GO Taylor!! Also, I have to admit I think June Holeman is a huge inspiration to me as a middle age barrel racer..... I would like to see both ends of that spectrum. If they choose really young then lets have older too!! I wish Chanyi the best of luck though, I really enjoyed watching her in the American. |

Location: Texas | So.. is that the entire roster? Like, are those the only ones we will see at ERA events? Or is that just their top whoever? I am confused.. |

Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | It will be interesting to see how this all pans out.
I don't think most of these girls were really "picked". I read yesterday that every person in each event had to pay so much in and have a % of the "Company". I think this is going to be about who has the most money....I hope I am proven wrong and it turns out to be just what our sport needs. |

Location: North Dakota | Longneck - 2015-10-21 5:29 PM I know it's being nit picky, but if they can give Chayni the credit for winning the American Semis, why not Lisa credit for winning the entire production 2x? & just for the record I'm not trying to take away from any of them.
Lisa is listed on their "Athletes" tab on the ERA website. (Scroll down a little)
But not everyone is listed on that tab? Unsure of how the "Athletes" are different from the "Roster".

Location: Displaced Iowegian | My thoughts are that, this year, they chose those who will DRAW a crowd to watch them (anywhere) and they chose well! Unfortunately, some will never be satisfied with who has been chosen......but then again, they don't "own" the association..... |

I wonder if this had something to do with stressing Chayni's age and might not normally have been done. As it currently stands, it seems the sort of 'stats' like one would have for a baseball card, making rodeo seem more mainstream. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | I had asked if they have alternates but I never got an answer. What are they going to do if someone gets hurt? Who is going to take their place.
These are the 10 that will be competing at each of their rodeos in 2016 and then they will have a finals in Dallas.
I would like to know how the others are going to compete in order to qualify to be one of the top 10 the following year? |
