"Barrel Racers of HF" Video...

Okay so I already have been creating whispers about doing something like this, but now I think I'm going to actually do it, before school restarts.

I want to make a video featuring all of us and our horses. Since my laptop killed itself and I totally lost my "Barrel Racing Bits" thread thing, I figured I could make it up to you and do something else (Because I don't think i'm ever going to have the drive to redo ALLL of that writing o.o)

So, if you would like to be apart of this when I make it, post below :)

Username
Real Name (Totally Optional)
Horse(s) Name
Breeding (Also Optional)
Years Competing
Any and all other fun things you'd like me to say, such as money earned, tiltes won, events competed in (Pole bending, cones, keyhole, other gymkhana/speed events allowed) :)

I would prefer to have a combination of both pictures AND videos for each racer/horse.

Ideally, everyone's little blip will begin with a "title photo" (I.e. a picture of you with your horse) and then will fade to all other pictures you ask me to include, and then will jump to the videos of you and your horse.

So, anyone wanna take part? (Besides those I've already hunted down and asked of course :lol:)

Oh and please try and be sure your videos are on youtube. My downloader does facebook and stuff but it takes foreverrrrr.

You're still welcome to steal any of my pictures from FB and whatever you want off of my youtube account for this.. After you've already "hunted me down".. I can't wait to see how it turns out though..

Then ofcourse..

DrumRunner
Amber Sanders
Nu Kinda Nic "Nikki" I just have the most videos of Nikki.. I'm working on getting more up of Hickory and Lark.. Papa Hickory Doc and Land Oh Lark.

Like their bloodlines or that they are QH's and Appendix?

I'm not really worried about you adding whatever about my winnings or anything..It's also depressing because I had to drop out of the season this year and it was "MY" year.. If you do want to add those you can though..

Second year competing
Off-track TB, has done barrels, poles, flag race, phonebook race, keyhole, stakes race, etc. She's a dressage horse, but we like to mix it up and compete locally in gymkhanas.

Second time ever on barrel pattern:

First time ever on keyhole:


Facebook hates me right now, so I'll have to upload the photos to photobucket instead of trying to copy and paste them from FB.

Cool idea, SH! My barrel racing days are many years ago, those vids are on old school 8mm tapes so I can't participate :lol: Look forward to seeing it when you are finished though!

Neat idea! It will be cool to see the finished product.
I myself have been competing for 22 years (different horses of course).

My new guy Red is just in training for barrels, so he's got no awards to mention as of yet!
Here's his pedigree: http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/saltys+red+rock
Texas High Dasher grandson, with Jet Deck on the top too. Boston Mac/Paprika Pine mare.








But my retired guy will need to be in there for sure. I sure miss competing on him. I was going to start rodeo'ing on him this year now that I had finally finished school, but we didn't get that chance. At local family rodeos and horse shows, he did win me several all-around awards and a lot of money. Most days we'd pay back our entry fees, plus fill the truck with diseal AND have money left over. He did well for me. He even found a new gear in the last couple years, to start winning the 1D once in a while.

I bought him as a 6 month old, started taking him to shows at age 4, and I just retired him this year at age 14.

Reg Name: Ravishing Beau
Barn name: Beau
1998 APHA gelding, 16.1 hh

Beau actually is more halter/showing bred, but he sure took to the speed events.

BarrelRacingLvr, how the heck can you run with sunglasses on?? I've tried and I always end up losing them running..It sucks! I have another question.. What's with all of the feathers and stuff? Do y'all have some kind of theme? We aren't allowed to run with anything like that going on..Especially association shows, we can't even wear sleeveless shirts. Association shows don't allow hats at State Championships either, if you run with a hat you get DQ'd.. We have crazy rules.
 
#23 ·
Idk lol they just stay on, helps that I have a ball cap to keep them on as well. For the feathers that was for are districts "color day" at finals so we all got to dress up. Me being me......I tend to get a bit crazy lol and it gets crazier each year. So I only go crazy on special occasions...like the color day for NBHA finals. Another association has a TETWP Day so I go crazy in pink....then their is the 4th of July race that me and my horse are R,W,B literally. Other then those occasions I am either in casual wear in races that don't have a dress code, or in dress code when their is one.

My sunglasses hug my face...Or if they don't I stuff the sides into my hair. :lol:

And Bubsy, be gone woman :'D I already have everything you've ever ran and given me on a DVD. :lol:

BarrelRacingLvr....I thought you were 18? You've been competing since you were 2?

FWIW I like running in sunglasses in an outdoor pen. Nothing gets in my eyes ;)

Is it supposed to be how long we've been competiting in just barrels or all around as well?..I've shown since I was about 7ish just riding before that.. I've shown WP, showmanship, halter, fun shows, then finallu 8ish years ago (maybe longer) I started seriously running barrels and poles..



You're probably right.. They're definitely working on it.
 
#24 ·
I guess I counted the years since I competed for the very first time at the age of 4 ........ I can't really pick a "start year" other than that, because we've always done it.

I ALWAYS wear sunglasses. I'm a wuss when it comes to sunlight plus it keeps dust/wind out of your eyes. And I might be an eye doctor ****cough, cough*****...., maybe. :) I wear Maui Jim sunglasses for riding. They have the rubbery temples on the sides so where you put them, they stay. Never had a problem with them falling off.
 
#25 ·
I wish we could do the feathers and different colors..I would go all out lol

I have Costa Del Mar sunglasses..I will never own any other brand after having these..Love those. I do have the little strap that goes on them so I don't lose them.

Hey, justa heads up...The videos are already pretty low-res, when I download, convert, and upload them again I'm not sure the quality is even going to allow you to see what's going on...I'm gonna see what I can do though. :)
