We have several older men around here that run barrels, that are not that way. I think this men are old cowboys who have been hurt and can't do the roping stuff anymore. I think they've figure out the crazy women barrel racers will pay alot of money too for a good barrel horse.

:) That's about it.
I went to high school with this guy, many moons ago, that used to run barrels. He had a beautiful black horse named Sea Charge (dumb, I know) He's married now and is some kind of a DO type doctor near where I currently live. I looked him up on classmates.com and that's how I knew he was married and a doctor. He also said in his profile that he married his high school sweetheart. The sweetheart must not have known what he was doing with all the barn chickies when she wasn't around. I know this for a fact because I was one of the chickies.
