I got a chuckle when they were talking about Chayni and Charmayne swats at her horse in the background. 
I don't get that channel, I am hoping that someone posts a link as well. Was Charmayne disciplining her horse? |

That sounds horrible. I hope the ERA "board" gets after those announcers! That's really embarrasing if they were saying WRONG facts.

| Honestly it was nothing major. Certainly didn't hurt the horse. He must have been fussing in the back pen after he ran and she simply swatted him lightly on the neck but I'm sure it could be taken out of context the way some people do. I guess it was surprising to see though from such elite competitors. |

I guess it was surprising to see though from such elite competitors. She just swatted him with an open hand up by his head. It looked to me like maybe he was pinning his ears at another horse. She jiggled the reins first to get his attention, then swatted him to make him stop. It was really nothing.

But it's things like that that will cause rodeo problems with the animal rights activists. Especially since the ERA is all about being mainstream. These contestants CANNOT afford to make stupid decisions. While it was no big deal to a horse person, I'm sure it's a HUGE deal to PETA and all those other groups wanted to shut rodeo down. I don't care what a horse does, you simply cannot tune on it in any way shape or form when you are at an event and in the spotlight. |

Yes, to me it looked like she was disciplining him (grasshopper), looked like he laid his ears back at the horse next to him!! |

Location: Texas | Did anyone notice that steer wrestling now has a 5 second penalty? Is that a mistake or did they change the rule. Also calf roping has a 5 second penalty and must stay tied 10 seconds. Really?
Not impressed with the whole mess.

Location: Kansas | I was wrong, by the way, it appears the rerun of Day 1 is Saturday evening and Day 2 is Wednesday at least on DirectTV. The only televised rodeo I enjoy is the NFR so probably won't watch.
I don't really understand this ERA attraction. From what I see of the payout on their website it doesn't look nearly as lucrative as a really good PRCA show. |

But remember you only have to beat 9 people. Odds are better. |

Ugh barrier is 5 seconds instead of 10.
Not sure if those announcers were hired by FOX or the ERA. FOX has their own panel for other sports like NASCAR, Football, Baseball, etc. |

Sadly I agree with this. I did the same thing at a college rodeo because my hose crow hopping the whole pattern and I swatted my horse after the run. I regret it now but I felt very embarrassed and angry then. My coach pulled me aside quickly and told me to never to that at a rodeo or event again; you never know when PETA people could be around and trying to capture footage that can typically aid them in ruining our sport. I never did it after that but it really made me think. |

Yea but the total prize money for the tour is $4.6 million. With 80 contestants that would be an average earning of $57,500 for the entire tour. |

.....and if you're a top hand the "odds" shouldn't be a much of a factor plus the NFR go-rounds pay a fortune. ERA is more like having a regular job then competing as an athlete. To each his own for sure though.

The 5 rounds of the ERA Championship pay pretty close to what an NFR round does..... But that money is included in the $4.6 Million. |

BUT....you have to factor in ..... that is ONLY 15 days of work (and only travel expenses to 8 venues) plus 5 days for the Finals....... |

| They certainly are doing a lot of meet and greet things with the contestants. That is probably something rodeo fans enjoy.
