WrapSnap - 2015-12-08 8:36 AM FlyingHigh1454 - 2015-12-08 8:28 AM I was wanting her on her backup horse, but I didn't want Radio to get hurt. :( I bet she does give him a night off though, I know when I had the accident on the horse in my prof picture and she did the splits like that, she was lame for a few weeks (she got up lame though, and he finished his run pretty well, it'll all depend on how he looks when the adrenaline wears off.) I'd rather be safe than sorry with this good of a horse. I'm sure that Carley will have Radio checked out thoroughly before making any sort of decision on who to run from here on out...
You could see going to the second barrel that it hurt, and he looked off when she stopped him in alley too, while full of adrenaline. Horse's can have a lot of damage done when their legs split like that, and his back right also went in a weird angle in general. I would seriously question her motives if she's on him tonight, that's all I'm saying.
You're a piece of work... you've wanted her to run her back-up horse all week, for what reason, I cant remember but good grief. Its her horse and she knows him better than you. That is a very bold statement to make and you need to check yourself. Rude... flat out rude. Have some manners.
Good grief. |

I understand how you feel Andy, all I can do is shake my head at all these opinions. Seems like all the ones at home watching on tv know whats best.  |

Then please explain what you mean by "if she runs her horse tonight, I will question her motives." Please explain to me how that can mean anything else than you implying that her motives are anything but pure when it comes to her buddy athlete?.... |

Location: Somewhere around here | I know this might be a little off topic but what headgear does she ride Radio in?
Also, I thought it was such a shame that the right barrel was awful last night. It seemed like almost all the horses had trouble at it and it me the arena dirt looked a little drier than the previous nights?
I was talking to my husband and I was saying that I didn't even know if I'd want to try and compete at the NFR in the future, not unless they change their ways... |

Ok, I will give you guys some benefit here, Motives wasn't really the word I should've used because of the bad things that could accompany it, Actions or Thought Processes is probably the better ones for what my intended meaning was. So I will give you that I worded it in a way that could be taken incorrectly from what I meant (which is the glory of written posts). I meant more along the lines of "What is that girl thinking" or "Well, I hope she's right" kinda ways. I was not meaning that she didn't care about her horse. |

I wondered what that was as well. I thought it was just a glare. |

I was told by a friend that the concrete was visible from their seats |

| For him going down and totally slowing up they sure ran a nice time considering. Hope he's okay - poor guy, looked like it hurt. |

A few people who were there said that it was concrete showing, talk about broken legs waiting to happen there, running full speed and hitting concrete....*shudders*.
Can't say I'm surprised really... T&M has always been sketchy ground. I just hope it doesn't take someone getting seriously hurt or killed to make it change. |

I was really worried about the other girls and their horses after I saw that...Bo seems so sure footed and ran right through it but that's a scary thing to see going that fast! |

Location: South Dakota | I am beyond disgusted at the ground in the T&M...a white spot on the ground looked like bare concrete to me. Why would the WPRA allow this to go on year after year?     |

| Surely it's not the concrete! I hope not. I thought it was just where his hip pancaked. Like when a horse rolls...they really smooth out the dirt... |

Pretty sure that's what it was, because when you watch JJ come around his 1st his front feet hit that area and if it HAD been concrete, I don't think he wouldn't of held up like he did. Either way it makes me cringe  |

| I wrote Carley earlier. I havent heard back. I'm sure she is much too busy right now. I can assure you that IF Carley runs him tonight it wont be out of greed by any standards...it will have meant that she TRUELY believes him to be sound and OK. I doubt very much that she runs him...but I know how much she loves that horse and can assure you that she is confident in Boy enough to jump on him if she things that Radio is not 100%. Boy is no slacker for a backup horse...both are very capable. |

I love reading your posts but I am a hundred years old and your script is really hard to read. Sorry i m probably the only one but I have to skip you a lot because I can't read it. Is there anyway you could change it or make it bigger?? |
