Location: The Oklahoma plains. | I guess to put it in perspective SKM, if someone was describing your daughter's choice of horses like you did BP or her clothing as you did FT- I am sure it would set a lot of us on defense of her. So while yes, we all are entitled to say what we want- it doesnt seem negative until it hits home. I have never seen you as that way but did see a little less than your normal sunny post in that particular comment. Thats all. I know outside of this forum this page is seen as far less than expert nor kind overall. I enjoy the posts that prove otherwise. |

This is not the placed to be schooled on peoples opinion C.Loflin especially by you... It's a public forum and if someone doesn't care for FT for whatever reason, or what she wore... it's up to them, I'm glad you like her (not many people do) but again it's their right...
I kind of agree with this-there was no attack on character for any of the riders.
But I find it odd that on her facebook post, while parts were inspirational about having a hard time and staying in the fight, there was one line about not having 2 rigs and 8 horses like some of the girls (Like Fallon?). It was almost like a veiled insult that was the only reason they were successful, like they couldn't do it with one horse. I could be wrong and just have taken it the wrong way--sometimes that happens with OPINIONS and observations.
I personally love looking at the horses and costumes-one thing about rodeo, it's never boring! |

Those are horse's she has for sale...not as back ups.LOL
No matter how many horses you have and haul...You still have to be able to ride them to win. I give people a lot of credit that can haul mulitple horses and ride them all well. |

I'm confused....I went back and re-read what SKM wrote about Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and again, all she said was ...she looked like a 4 year old. She IS a 4 year old. The little mare struggled. She did not look like the the seasoned horses that she (BP) normally runs here. In a later post she also says how deadly this horse will be in a few years. I think alot of you are reading things into that post that aren't there.

I totally agree and when I saw her time I wondered what happened. I would love to see someone go up to Brittany and tell her she had an awesome run at CFD...LOL That mare is doing things that is a rarity for a 4 year old and she has been the talk of the town on here because of it.

I agree and off topic I would say, surely no one can deny that Baby Flo is a BEAST? She is a one horse show for sure and by sheer numbers of runs and rider size to her very small size ratio- she has to be BAD A$$ tough!!  |

Location: Bastrop, Texas | This thread cracks me up, and here's why. One thing I have always sensed is a feeling that so-called professional rodeo athletes/competitors have not gotten the respect and more widespread recognition that professional athletes in other sports seem to get. I think if you are a professional athlete in any sport, you have to be willing to take the good with the bad. We all know what the "good" is, but one of the "bad" things is the press and fans can sometimes be very critical and unfair. All professional sports have their controversial and colorful competitors. They have to handle the critics and they have to be willing to put up with a lot of rumor and innuendo. If someone wants to be catty and take shots at you for wearing colorful outfits, or gossip about your life, you'd better learn to cope and accept that this sort of thing goes with the territory. You are under the microscope because you ask for it if you decide to jump into the arena of professional sports. Take a look at Derrick Jeter and read the tabloids.....constant speculation and gossip. In spite of this, the guy always takes the high road and exudes class. Not a bad role model, if you ask me. |

Baby Flo laid down a run...and it was nice, and I'm glad she's making it back. She may be little but she is mighty! |

I have the picture of Fallon coming out of the arena during the NFR...on that OTMR (Flowers & Money) mare without anything (not a hand or a leg) touching her. She was an awesome mare... |

Yes
OK, another question--is there a place to see the day sheets and find out who's running what day?
I'm excited to see how Christine Laughlin does--she's really doing great this year!

Location: Way up North | I didn't see anything wrong with the post, it was just a statement of opinion. People talk about other people at all levels, just take a trip out back at any race you will get to hear all sorts of tid bits. But if I had a horse good enough to hang with the big dogs and be out there chasing the dream there wouldn't be a dang thing someone could say about me and my bad self that I would care about! Seriously, I wonder if any of them really give two cents what us arm chair jocks have to say about their sense of style or if they had a bad run? |

No- but they generally run slowest to fastest from slack throughout the week. So you could go through the times of the 96 qualifiers and figure out which 12 will be running starting with the slowest times running on the 19th and progressing through the faster times throughout the 26th. That will be the second go. And then the fastest 12 from the average of the two gos will run at the Finals on the 27th. |

Also... what a perfect case of "the pot calling the kettle black". You just said "this is not a place to be schooled on people's opinion", yet you just 'schooled' Christy's opinion.  |
