I would ask...... have you been running any or running barrels lately........ not racing barrels. I would never call a barrel race just a race. Sounds weird to me. It's a barrel race.
Barrel racers don't make nice rides......... (unless their horse bucks LOL).... barrel racers make nice runs.
Barrel racers are barrel racers....... not racers.........
Of course it could all be a regional thing too. I don't know. Not everyone uses the same terminology.
Yep : ) ... and for the life of me, I can't refer to a barrel race as a "show"....a show (to me ) is multiple events. Just Barrel races will always be a "barrel race" or a "jackpot" in my mind.
Me too. |

It is a common shortened word. I don't look at it a misuse as much an abbreviation. Like Hi instead of Hello. Or Rope horse instead of Roping horse. Or barrel horse instead of barrel racing horse or Bute instead of Albuterol (sp). Or Ace instead of whatever the heck ace is. Is Denerving a word. My vet even says nerve. So I really think you are looking at it incorrectly.
Ummm...you probably know this but "bute" is short for phenylbutazone...ace is short for acepromazine.
LOL I did, but my brain is fried from a long week and had a total blonde moment. Thanks for pointing that out. I even know what Albuterol is.lol I didn't know what ace was without looking. : )
I figured the bute thing had to be a brain fart :) |

Location: Pacific Northwest | I use all of them...sometimes I say worm...sometimes I say deworm..sometimes I say race, sometimes I say barrel race. Sometimes I will refer to it as a horse show with complete non-horse people because it's so much easier. Actually I don't even say show, I say horse thing. "I have a horse thing this weekend." |
