 I have known her very well since her early youth rodeos days and have gone  down the road with her on some road trips when she was teaching a clinic and when we went to race horse sales together. She bought land and built a nice facility next to he dads in Victoria plus a place on CO recently.  She works very hard at what she does and has learned the complete business from the ground up.  She not only rides and has ridden nice horses that were bought, but she has raised and made many top ones that she runs as well as ones nice ones she has sold.  She is smart about what she does as she has learned through years and worked at it herself!  She is the one sweating her butt off in south Texas heat working and hauling young horses and making them winners.   She is very devoted and committed to what she does at all levels.  She has a breeding program she has developed and believes in but has an eye for buying a young horse and making it a winner too.  Her family has worked for their money and have a nice place that is not some lavish mansion etc.  but that of a true working class family who has built and developed it through the years.  She has come a long way from the youth rodeo scene and she has worked her butt off and learned her trade plus successfully dabbled in the race horse business as well. She has great work ethic and has earned and learned her way to the top in this industry.  She can win at the $100k futurity slot level on a home grown self made colt and then take your money on the pro rodeo trail all the while her race colts she picked out are cashing checks on the track.  There are not many people who can bring it on so many levels.

 Wow, do I agree, what she has accomplished is nothing short of amazing and you can not do ALL that without hard work. But is it easier to do when you have familiy money to fall back on? I would think so. If you do not have to worry about fuel, house payment, truck payment, stud fees, vet bills- I think it wouldnt be too hard to "make a living" knowing you cant truly fail? But other rich kids have failed miserably. I think the easiest part is riding. Although I also think that is the hardest part- the riding. You can not accomplish what she has without time in the saddle. Unlike a lot of the futurity people, she has done it at the NFR too and others have won on her horses. She is likely the best of the best in our industry today.

Honestly, even IF her family were loaded.... who's to say that she didn't have to make for herself anyway? I mean I know people that are wealthy, but still taught their children the value of a dollar and hard work. They may have given them a start, but after that they were on their own to be successful. So I really don't think it's fair to judge someone based on their families wealth.

I honestly don't think anyone is judging her.   Once again the name of the show is BLUE COLLAR MILLIONAIRE it is about her money and her rodeo lifestyle!  She apparantly went on the show willingly, therefore people are going to discuss her money and how she came about it.  Isn't that the point of being on a show titled BLUE COLLAR MILLIONAIRE and she is telling how much money spends on things she is making it public knowledge!   It is not a barrel racing show nor is Trevor Brazile on the show (as far as I know)  if he does make an appearance on BLUE COLLAR MILLIONAIRE  that is about money then we can talk about his money trail as well since he would be making it public knowledge.

No one is doubting her hard work ethic and talent in the saddle and her business saavy!  I congratulate her and love to watch her horses!  I would have loved to been in her Stetson boots when I was her age!    Congratulations Brittany Pozzi on a great career and many, many more excellent years in this industry.

Tatum2 - 2015-07-16 3:46 PM I know what her horses sell for. It says 2 million in rodeo.. I'm saying who knows what she actually "made" just on the rodeo portion with all the expenses that these girls have to pay to get to the top of the world and haul all over U.S. and Canada. I'm am not saying she hasn't made a million in her lifetime when dealing with horses, I'm saying that it didn't come from the rodeo earnings, it came from selling horses and being a businesswoman. 

 

Spending money, going down the road, is part of what made her business successful. It put her name out there. Some people rodeo to rodeo. Rodeo became the foundation of her business. She made herself a household word.

grinandbareit - 2015-07-16 6:35 PM Assets are what suggest your monetary worth... And I'm quite sure she has a million in assets.
Assets are only worth what you actually sell them for. Assets do not equal cash

the irs doesnt care if its acually cash money when you die you still have to pay that death tax if you have x amount in assets liquid or  not

She specifically mentions on the show that she was taught not to buy anything she doesn't need, and she practices that.

Well said. That's exactly what I was thinking. Nobody is doubting her hard work and talent. I'm a big fan of hers and love to watch her ride. I think people on here are basically saying that, if you got your start by your family buying all your stuff for you to barrel race with (nothing wrong with that but, it ain't exactly "Blue Collar"), and a show comes along that says "we want to put you on our show so everyone can see how you became so successful" and the name of that show is Blue Collar anything, you should probably say "No thanks". Blue Collar parents can't really give their kids trucks, trailers and horses. I still don't think any of the comments I've seen on this tread are bashing her in any way. People are just curious and want clarity on that one detail.

She is such a hard worker and an excellent judge of horseflesh I feel very strongly that she would have made it regardless of her family's money! And if they gave her money to start I'm sure it wasn't a million so in my eyes she did make it on her own. If she had no talent then all the money in the world wouldn't have kept her where she is today! I say she is blue collar!

Blue Collar parents can't really give their kids trucks, trailers and horses. I still don't think any of the comments I've seen on this tread are bashing her in any way. People are just curious and want clarity on that one detail.

I am pretty sure most blue collar people with kids and horses have once bought their child a horse. They may even have helped buy them their first pickup. Most blue collar parents have helped their child out in life somehow whether it be schooling, vehicle, clothes, etc. That is what parents are for...to help their children get on their feet in hopes they have a better life than they had. That does NOT mean they gave them everything or that the child did not have to work for everything they have. I came from very blue collar parents that were nowhere near wealthy or well-off. My dad owns his own business and busts his butt to pay the bills but also to make sure that us kids had a great life.

Brittany worked her tail off to get to where she is. Good for her that she had supportive parents along the way. She could have taken advantage of that support and not worked hard to become the great competitor and business woman she is but instead she worked to become one of the best in the biz!

I find it funny that many people on BHW were bashing that show "Rodeo Girls" saying how it shows us in a bad light and then we come on here and start an argument over a fellow competitor on whether or not she is true blue collar or not. It was a simple post letting us all know that she is going to be featured on this show which I think AWESOME! It's great that rodeo and barrel racing is getting some attention but what do we do? We find a way to put another competitor down in hopes to build ourselves up. It is so sad.

Also, the definition of a blue collar worker is a person that makes a living doing manual labor. So I think that fits her to a T.

  Well said, I have watched her pull up to a local jackpot and unload 6 or 7 horses, she does not sit down the whole time she is there.  Congrats to her on her success and having the work ethic and the business sense to parlay her talent into a successful business. Not many people her age have acheived what she has.   As the saying goes,  luck = preparation and hard work.  Her younger sister was in high school rodeo when my girsl were and we often crossed paths.  Her parents are definitley supportive and involved- her mom is a hoot- but Britany did not inherit or join a family business, she created her own business.
