To get the rodeo's straight

I agree with you

I'm going to go ahead and keep my opinions to myself, since she is 13

I'm curious what the name of this barrel racing world show is?

Me too... if there was a Barrel racing competition that big in florida... I would think I'd know about it.

i dont know what the name is i go to way to many shows to keep track but yea just cause im 13 doens't mean i have no clue what im doing i didn't just start him i had my friends trainers, my vets, my farrier and a bunch of other people help me decide when to start and with what

I'm really not trying to be rude about anything, but if there was a "world show" in florida with that many barrel racers and ropers, most of us experienced racers would know about it. And I don't know what circuit your riding on, but I sure as heck have never to a world show with that many barrel racers running in only 2 days

There was a big National barrel racing thing just went on in Georgia last month

I know the NBHA was held in kissimee (sp) FL?

That was NBHA Open World in Augusta. Same as every year and it's a week long. Finals cover a 2 day period.

I just can't think of anything in florida. I know there are some super shows in florida...but no national competitions. The biggest national competition out here is Open world... aside from that you have to head further west for anything else.

well it was a while ago now but thats the biggest one i have been to i most recent one (dont laugh) was for our hunting party, about 25 - 30 people, cause everyone has horses we do barrels, cutting, sorting, team penning, team roping, and a bunch of other fun stuff it cost everyone 5 bucks for some reasons unspoken but it was some major great fun best show ive ever been to and it was only a show in our arena haha lol

I personally have seen some abuse at rodeos. but I have also seen it at hunter shows, pleasure shows, jumper shows, and events.

So you really can't make a blanket statement saying that there is no abuse in a sport.
