| I just watched this on directv channel 239 -- I have to upgrade to cbssports network to watch the nfr later - but my husband said he watched it, so i did a search and found it on this channel. After I watched it I have total respect for Ivy Conrado. That segment showed how tough it gets out there. She wasn't holding it back and I for one found that refreshing. I agree with her about those long trips. I remember that year that #15 won the world. I'm thinking it's a very real possiblity that #15 could do it this year. It is so exciting to anticipate. Even the smaller circuit I was on this past season I can definitely understand on a smaller level how grueling it can get. It's probably more tolerable if you're winning/placing though. But anyway, I think a whole lot of that young lady right now. What I realized more than I ever have before is that #1 you have to have the horse. You can be one of the top riders in the world but if you don't have "that horse" you are not going to be in the running to qualify for the NFR. Let the games begin!!! And don't you just love being in this world? I do!!! Good luck to everyone everywhere!!!

Location: Duvall, WA | I'm not sure if anyone can catch Mary just because she has such a big lead, but you all will for sure enjoy watching #15, our NW gal, Amber Moore. (FYI she choses to enter as Amberleigh Moore because apparently there is another Amber Moore rodeoing out there who kept getting her checks.) She is a "gamer," runs all the omoksee events, which means she is used to making ten runs a weekend in small lanes with two or three other horses running. It is quite likely that mare is going to LOVE the Thomas and Mack and running ten days in a row will be just fine for her. We are very excited for her! #runpaigerun |

Location: Where Governor's make the liscense plates | Just watched the Religion of sports episode. Someone mentioned they got the impression that Ivy Conrado seemed bratty. I cant help but completely disagree. What I seen was a girl who only started riding at 17 to make her dad proud. Her dad even says "we made it to the NFR" When she wasn't placing or doing perfect she seemed to become very upset with herself as if she was letting her dad down.
On another note: I had no idea Stevi hilman trained previous NFR horses and now she's running herself. How cool! I'm rooting for her |

I didn't think Ivy was bratty at all! Since watching it, I hope she does well at the NFR! I liked how she and her dad kinda teased each other at one point. |

  The Original Cyber Bartender
Location: Washington | *almost there* - 2016-11-26 7:02 PM I thought the religion show was really good and was bummed when it was over! I do not know Ivy Conrado personally, but I did feel the show made her seem a little bratty. I appreciated the honesty of Fallon Taylor when she said she's an entrepreneur first and barrel racer second. Reminded me of Clinton Anderson. Good for them for making successful careers out of horses. Hard to do. And ofcourse Mary Burger is always just classy, she's really become a serious favorite of mine. What I noted about that interview after she ran there was a person telling her what she did wrong. I lived by the 10 minute rule after a run...leave me alone and then discuss the positives and negatives.
That was to in her face IMHO and might have left many cold, when she still had her game face on.
Hope she does well in Vegas....
And for the record,I cried when I watched Fallon rubbing and kissing Flo's
leg after her terrible fall/stumble.

| I am just so happy it is NFR time again. Problem....... I am going in already exhausted and we haven't even had round 1. It's very tiring watching the NFR. LOL It's fun too, just hard to stay awake. I want to see it right then, not later. |

Jerri Mann posts a bunch of behind the scenes/sneak peak moments. They were marking the pattern earlier and she commented that it was brand new dirt. |

It is aired live - slight delay for commercial breaks, but it is live. They're on Pacific time, so it just feels late if you're not on the west coast. |

I love seeing all the cool pics and stuff she posts. 
We don't get CBS Sports...hubby said we could just change our cable plan for a week (he's a keeper).
But I remember in years past there was a BHW member who would video the barrel racing and post on YouTube... |
