Pork Fat is my Favorite Posts: 3791 Location: The Oklahoma plains.	3 To Go - 2014-03-14 2:24 PM LRQHS - 2014-03-14 11:49 AM So, another question......why do we see Brittany Pozzi, but no Sherry Cervi, Mary Walker, Fallon....etc? I understand they may not have a Futurity horse, but why is Brittany doing this? Doesn't count for WPRA monies earned or does it? And, why are people like Jolene Montgomery so good, but not going after NFR titles? Why do any of us do this? We like to barrel race. The futurity world is a completely different game from the rodeo world. Brittany has had some luck doing both. Sherry did the futurity thing in the mid-2000's but has admitted she does not prefer it. When Stingray was a futurity horse she ran her in a couple of AZ ones, but then sent her off to Ryan to run the rest of the year. Why doesn't someone like Jolene make an NFR run? Obviously you would have to ask her the real answer but, those top trainers can win nearly as much money as those NFR girls and travel half as much. Take someone like Jolene - she won 30,000+ or something ridiculous like that at the BFA last December. Kassie won nearly $30,000 in 3 weeks in AZ on the Firewatermakemehappy horse and never left the property. Kassie has been to the NFR and hasn't tried to go back. Also, the futurity trainers like Jolene don't own most, if any, of the horses they ride so they can't just decide "I'm going to go run this horse at the rodeos now". The owners get to decide where their horse is run. Some want to rodeo, some like to train them, run and move on and some like to do both. To each their own! What's the going rate on commission of winning these days- anyone know? I'm guessing of the $30k mentioned, she might make 20% at best?

I don't know about Jolene, but it's 50% for a lot of the riders.
