Yeah, I hear about "keep your arm down" too. It took me a long time to learn my arm an extention and just bring it back and forward. I used to do horrible things with the reins:') My trainer wants me getting off and on on both sides. I try it but step down. I guess I need to work on it too. She asks me what happens if I can't get up on the left.

Your CPR posts awesome. Maybe someday I can try stuff like that. Are the entry fees stiff? How did you learn about all the rules. Just trial and error?

Sounds like you've got a good trainer :)

I read about it somewhere. After I got my mare I wanted to do something with her competivitly but was not ready to try barrels:) I ask arount about CTR and that is how I met Celia. She gave me some tips, and I took off for Marshall Tx. to try one. Been hooked ever since:) It's mostly been trial and error.

Oh, I forgot entry fees...I think the entry fees run about $60-80 dollars, then there is usually a camping fee. I was doing 5 year, and figured it was costing on "average" $100 per ride. But that includes trailering, and I went to some rides that were 6 hours away. So I had alot in fuel.
