I'm only half awake but I want to go clean stalls.

Rather... I want the stalls to be cleaned, but I can't bring myself to do it :~D

Bay was locked in last night, forgot to open his bar back up when I got everyone in. Poor dude could barely walk when I finally wandered out to let them out after breakfast this morning. He stopped to pee while still in the doorway.

The kitties sure are cute! I'm getting a new one this afternoon, a 4yr old manx house cat actually. Cav is giving me have one of his, to replace the one that got ate by the dog. My other two cats will NOT be amused, at least for a week or so. It should be an interesting evening.

I only have a second, ya'll, I have a kid home throwing up but I just had to post this spectacular barrel racing wreck. It's a big file but give it time to download, it's worth it.

Great, and I'm glad you can give a home to one of Cav's, he was worried about that :~D

Heh.... I wasn't sure I wanted to see it! But really it's more of just a regular ole buckin' wreck :~D

It would make a good Viking Kitty photo, for someone with more photoshop skills than I have :~D

Rotten little cats! There is nothing cuter. How is big kitty taking this all in?

Looks like it might have been a young and fairly inexperienced horse by the way she was going... she was going pretty cautiously around the barrels, and I think the tension and energy was building up at each turn, so when she kicked her for the run to the 'finish' it just broke loose ;~D

Big kitty is still pretty uninterested! No fireworks from him yet.

I watched it a few times, to see if there was any indication of a blow up. No tail wringing, head tossing, nothing. It doesn't look like she booted him a lot. Inexperience or sour...hard to tell. She was laughing at least. Can you imagine, leaning forward, ready to "take 'em home" and that happens! Whew!

You know this person Tuffy?

Heh... I've had it happen jumping, all momentum headed forward, and they hit the brakes at the last minute :~D

Could be sour, you're right... could be that the horse has begun resenting the final run.

I have a minute to respond, my little girl is still throwing up. She got a bad case of it, I'll tell ya.

No, I don't know that person. I just ran across that video when I was surfing.

One thing that I noticed in that video is the girl is trying to make herself look like a better rider than what she is. Even professional barrel racers hang on to the saddle horn, so as not to jostle the horse going around the barrels, or even worse, get left behind. That horse might not like the way she's bouncing around in the saddle going around the barrels. An old experience horse probably wouldn't care, a young, inexperienced horse, probably would.

One other thing, she's going to the first barrel on the wrong lead. As an ex-barrel racer, that wouldn't have been something I would have done but I barrel raced on an old national finals horse. "Wrong lead" wasn't in her vocabulary.

Scroll down to four year old horses and the first one listed is "Brooklyn Bar Beggar" and it has a barrel racing video. This is a professional in action and he's sure as heck hanging on to the saddle horn. And he goes to the first barrel on the correct lead.
