| Vickie has two horses that she is trying out this next week. She will be running and Rachel will be riding with her. I dont understand how people can be so ugly on here. She is very deserving of running and deservering of another horse. I dont think anyone said she is more deserving than anyone else. I would hope that any of the ladies that made the NFR would be able to find another horse if something happened to their horse prior or during the NFR. The comment WWJD... He would never ask why!!!!! |

I'm sure pulling for her! Hopefully she'll overcome this last setback and have an outstanding NFR. I'd love to see her win the rookie title - how cool is it to get to see someone finally have the opportunity to realize their dreams at 60? She's a true inspiration to me and I can't wait to see her 'riding for Rachel' down the alley at the T&M! She's proven herself to be a heck of a hand on multiple horses, I have no doubt that she can step on something else and win. |

| arion - 2015-11-19 5:39 AM Texas Tornado - 2015-11-17 10:45 PM So sad to hear of Blaze Mans colic. Hope he is recovering well! I hope Vicki gets some great offers on horses to run at NFR. she sure deserves that  Let's call this a social experiment if you will but I must ask a question. Let me also preface this by saying that her story is emotional and to some inspiring I get that. But why does she "deserve" anything?

WrapN3MN - 2015-11-18 11:52 AM Carbon Copy - 2015-11-18 8:48 AM We know Movin will be available, it would be nice to see Movin at the NFR. To my understanding, "Movin" has been sold and has a new home.  Â
I was under the impression that movin did sell, as well as commander of deb's and one more??
I hope Vicki has an awesome NFR, she wont have an issue finding a great horse, its too bad she wont have BM with her they make an unreal team. |

I want to say I saw something that suggested that mare would be going to the NFR with her former jockey. Even thought he new owner had been running her. I cannot find where I saw it. |

Location: North Dakota | To be that age and still riding like that is very impressive!!! I am sure she could ride a mule and still win some money! Everyone who qualifies for the NFR is a top rider or they wouldn't be there!! I can't wait to watch on tv!! |

Jackie could loan her two or three top horses and a rig to haul them in and not miss anything. |

Any why wouldn't you hold your breath??
Side note Jackie is very dedicated, it takes someone with a ton of talent to keep horses running at the top of their game, money or no money if you are not talented enough to ride at that level you will never make it and its more than obvious that she is.
It makes me sick all the nasty and snide comments on social media these days. I love how everyone thinks they should offer advice on how to ride, what horse to use.. she should have done this or should have done that... #couchjockey #whereisyourgoldbuckle

 Not sure which mare you speak of, but the former jockey of sold mare didn't qualify for the NFR this year. Maybe I'm thinking of a different horse and jockey. |

Ditto... but unless I'm really lost (possible) that mare's not even sold. |
