| I like that idea as well, qualifiers first.
Open jackpot is full.
If nothing else being officially entered is motivating me to ride...or at least put the dingbat on a lunge line until my saddle gets here. Dork was fresh today. |

At least you get to ride. LOL We've been in a blizzard all day and we have so much ice there's no way I can safely ride. I'm hoping February is a better month for weather. |

| I have no Idea when I rode last. I think it might have been in December. I'm fighting ice too, I won't ride on it. Thank goodness my fields are unplowed bean stubble. I can surely get some ride time on it soon! I hope! |

Were do you live? I've got a lot of corn stubble but the guys dug it super deep last fall and its real uneven. I rode up to early December. I have all intentions of starting mid February. I think I'll have to put my coveralls on and be a tough girl. LOL |

| We are fortunate enough to have an indoor of good size so I can start back whenever I have the motivation. We ran right before Thanksgiving and then shortly after discovered my old saddle didn't fit. So I've just been piddling around bareback once a week or so and giving him time off since then. Should have the new saddle in the next 2 weeks. Hope that the weather moderates a bit and I can get into the hayfield too... |

shorti056 - 2014-01-26 11:39 AM it was a mess! the only thing is--i'm a bit surprised they didn't learn from last year, because the site crashed for the same reason but it wasn't as bad as this year. The only reason my friends and I got us entered is because when she hit submit and it gave her an error she refreshed instead of going back or starting over. That gave us our confirmation and then our email came through. I just hope I was early enough to get a dirt stall like always! And i didn't know you couldn't enter the same sessions on different horses so i had to scramble and sign up for different sessions on my young mare--but yet i put in on both for Sun AM open. Hoping it works out! Crazy entry, but it's always a good time in Lincoln! Great barrel race!
If you have a solution then you should let the staff know.
As far as entering in the same session I guess I don't understand what you mean because I entered all 3 of my horses in the same sessions.
Me too..I entered 2 different horses in the same session. Maybe she means same session different arenas.
yeah---i think my mind panicked when I was trying to enter....i now see that it has been updated to say 'different arenas in the same session' because i thought it was weird!
Oh well i'm thankful i got in again even with one computer not working.
Not bashing it, but there's gotta be something to do like someone else said, maybe let the qualifiers enter first.
Gonna be fun no matter what--always is! |

I'm in SE Iowa. We've been on the edge of every weather system that has blown thru from north or south here lately. Today was 46 and now it's 16 with 30mph winds and dropping. More ice to contend with... Ugh |

Location: Texas! | That is a good idea, those who have already qualified enter first. Atleast they give you the option to choose sessions instead of NBHA World where you're stuck there pretty much all week running one order then reverse. I got in with what I wanted, friends had to skip the open and just enter the Bonus Race to be able to haul with us. |

Yes, the 2014 qualifiers AND 2015 qualifiers can be used to enter the regionals at Fort Smith this summer.
I also wish I could have donated some of mine as one of my best friends has 2 horses and 1 qualifier. Hopefully she'll win one at Lincoln. I won 6, have 3 horses I currently run, and entered 4 so will be borrowing a horse for that 4th spot. I entered my youngest brother's horse (who I have run in the past and am halfheartedly trying to leg up again) but have every intention of subbing him out because I don't want to be bucked off in public! LOL. |

I won 3 qualifiers on the same horse. I have a pasture full of retired barrel horses but only 1 sure thing. I entered 3 that I hope I'll be able to take, might have to swap some horses out or draw out on some. I sure hope not, with that kind of added money even if my old guy falls in the 5D its still a good check. |

You're darn right about the 5D being a good check. Clifford won it last year on about his 15th run ever and it paid $1495 plus all the prizes. That was with $38K added so it will pay even better this year.
I am really hoping my old man can be legged up enough to place in the 3D. He ran bottom of the 2D up there last year and wasn't in shape yet so who knows what he will put out of the hat this time around.
Since I ran 3 horses so much last year, I ended up with 6 qualifiers. The cool part was that my "good" horse was the last one to win a qualifier and even then he won it in the 2D. I hated "wasting" two of my qualifiers, but I don't have any way of getting more horses up there to run. As it is, horse #4 has to ride with Matt because I can't haul 4 in my rig. He didn't immediately say that was fine so I may have some sweet talking to do between now and April. LOL. |

Are there many hookups they rent out? We got our golf cart rented this morning! Now next week sit on the phone and hope its not a fight to get the hookups. |

I think there are quite a few but I've never gotten one as my trailer doesn't have a way to use one. Matt and I are planning on staying in his trailer with a generator so we can have the horses right there with us. Now the trick may be getting parked on grass or dirt or at least somewhere so the horses can be on dirt or grass. I have more than my share of foot problems already with one and don't need him on rocks or concrete any more than absolutely necessary! |

OK thank you. Good luck getting a nice spot to park! I'll be on the phone bright and early next Monday and hope its not a major zoo to get a reservation. |

Thanks! I really just hope its not a muddy mess up there this year. Last year I was very limited on where I could go without getting stuck (2WD truck LOL).
Good luck to you on the RV reservations! |

I have bad news. They asphalted the one parking lot so now there's even less grass than there was before. |

My daughter said they posted on FB that they found in one of the pav's a place for 90 more stalls? And then there will be a covered area outside for more stalls. I'm not a FB'er but if this is accurate that will help a lot of people out. |
