Recently a person sent me a private message on Barrel Horse World and asked what there was for racing in our area. I realized, there is no one stop shopping to find out that info. And, since I enjoy writing and keeping track of races, I thought I'd start one.
I will keep my links updated. That is one thing that wastes more time than anything is Googling something only to find a slew of links that no longer work. And, it's just annoying as well. I'll do my best to keep the info updated and relevant.
This is a labor of love at this point. It's a tough economy out there and if we support the races that we can get to, they will continue to run and the producers that do put them on can continue to do so. So, I suppose this is free advertising for them and a project for me.
I started to write a post for this person who didn't know the local scene and I realized there is a lot of info in our area. The races I could think of off the top of my head are listed on the sidebar and there will be more added as they become available.
As well, I will be writing some posts on local shoers, photographers and anyone else you might like to read about. Our first interview will be with Karrie Dean of Yoder, Colo., who has branched out this year with her rodeo photography.
The pro's are covered in multiple blogs, magazines and websites, so this is more of a non-pro forum for the area. Although, we have some noted pro's in the area such as Marlene McRae and Kelly Yates, among others.

This is my daughter Casey (left) having a good time this summer at the FRRC in Fountain, Colo. My other daughter CheyAnne is leading her brother through the leadline events on a Gymkhana day. Low entry fees and membership fees make this a good choice for anyone who is beginner to intermediate or is more advanced and needs to season a horse. They have (as of now) Barrels and Poles and Gymkhana's (they have other events as well, but this is a speed event blog).
