That's funny about the younger days..............Laura and I pro rodeoed together and never officially met until Waco this summer.  I am saddened that I missed out on so many years of a great friendship.  We're making up for it now though.l :cheeze:

I just got home! About 12am or so...fed horses and took care of Rowdy....was going to beddy bye....and I had to get on here and just
look and see what had been going on while I was gone...

BOY DID I MISS SOMETHING....WHAT IN THE WORLD HAVE YOU GIRLS COOKED UP??
ah hummmmm.....

OK.  You know the old saying...."If you build it, they will come".....well you figure it out and I will be there....find a date, find a place,
find a time.  Coincidence or no....Joleen Hales asked me to do a clinic this weekend.  So if the date works for her, she will be there
as well to do a lecture on teeth probs and evaluate your horses perhaps.  I've done a few clinics in the past and Joleen was at each
of them.  They were lots of fun and this should be no different....WILL THIS BE A PARTY? or a clinic....I have only one request....
Please no one make me eat at Dairy Queen  :nahnah: :nahnah: :nahnah:.... :ROFL2: :ROFL2: :ROFL2: :ROFL2: :ROFL2:

haha...that is just not right! lol....
Seriously remember this! You might have no support system with your barrel racing or you may have the best support system but nothing works mentally
if you don't believe in yourself!  Everytime you run, you have to believe.  And I'm not talking about trying to make yourself believe that you are going to win the darn thing, I'm talking about believing in your horse and what you know and making the best run YOU CAN MAKE that day.  Every thought, every bit of body language is what the horse picks up on.  If you are not confident, he will not be confident...Say to yourself when you get to the barrel race...I ride this horse EVERY DAY.  I know my horse.  I did the work.  Now I am going in there to make the best run I possibly can for this day.
Then when its over.  Remember you can't rehash your run right then and there.  Your mind is not clear.  Come out of the arena and find one good thing
that you did during that run and congratulate yourself!  Ask Cy....when I was done yesterday...and little bit had some problems....Ask her what I said...
I said, "well things didn't go exactly right but man did I hustle that horse....I was riding the heck out of him...I never quit kicking or driving"....Pat yourself
on the back right then!  You may have no one to tell it to, but tell yourself!  Good Job!!  I don't care if the best thing you did was not fall off....Good Job!!
You have to build your own ego...no one does that for you....remember that....if it didn't go well, you will go home and fix it.  The barrel race is over,
and there's next week!! :cheeze: :cheeze: :cheeze:

Title: Re: a BIG thank you laura
Post by: lauraSchumann on September 29, 2008, 09:18:46 AM
Then you need to be saying to yourself right now...."man did I have a nice run the other day!....I did that and I made him do that!  Now I'm going in there to make that super nice run one more time."  Don't think about the average.  Take it one run at a time.  You should be thinking about only your first run right now....Think about how it felt to send him out there, and how responsive he was to what you asked.  Think
about all the good things that you did.  Now sit down and write down what you think you could've improved on.  Write it down...take 5 minutes and write it down.  Read it about 3 times and throw it in the trash can.  And be done with it.  You just threw the junk you wrote down from your brain into the trash can.  Its trash now, so go ride your horse this week, and be happy! :cheeze:

Post by: lauraSchumann on September 29, 2008, 12:19:03 PM
Tamet....you have a PM....

Also...I want to give some prizes...the last clinic I gave, we gave everyone who attended a bucket full of goodies...useful stuff--not junk.
I gave breast collars away to Most Improved, Best Hands, Best Attitude, Hardest Horse to Ride, and a buckle to Clinic Champion in the Jackpot...I took the D winners and drew for the buckle.  My 4D girl won it!  She was so tickled and wears that buckle everywhere she goes!  Everyone could enter the barrel race but only clinic people eligible for buckle.  It was lots of fun and we had it in Gatesville one year, here one year down the road, and I've given a few out of state.
Title: Re: a BIG thank you laura
Post by: lauraSchumann on September 29, 2008, 12:25:53 PM
GB...I got your message and I'm posting it and answering it here.

I don't want anything to do this clinic....I simply think you guys should do it by donation...whatever you think it was worth to you to
learn...I don't care if its 30 bucks or a 100 bucks...I want to donate the money to Tamet and Bob for Ben's behalf.  I do want to give
away some stuff....because its ALWAYS more fun with some STUFF involved....it may not be fancy...but here's what we could do...
If each of you that comes to the clinic gets one donation of something neat....and brings it to the clinic, I could distibute the prizes back
out to someone new for AWARDS!!  Hows that for potluck?  hahahaha....and I possiblyyyyyy could get a buckle donated I believe...hmmm...
 :cheeze: :cheeze: :cheeze: :cheeze:

This way....there is no fee....its just whatever you can afford....and a donation of something nice you might get from a business in town...
how's that sound to you guys???

PLEASE HAVE THE CLINIC AFTER MARCH 31ST OF NEXT YEAR!

Or actually, I'll probably need a little recovery time before i get back to riding . . . so hows about after April 3rd of next year.  I should be back in the saddle by then I reckon  . . .

I too vote for Boogers place . . .
I didn't get to go visit during the Ike catastrophe, and I've been looking for an excuse ever since to get down there!

I didn't get to go visit during the Ike catastrophe, and I've been looking for an excuse ever since to get down there!

So we have a fall clinic, and a spring clinic....sorry punkin but I think they want the help now.... :ROFL2:

Yes...I think it should be open to only ebarrel forum members...so as long as they have a forum name and one post...they are in.  Do the barrel race as an open jackpot, to raise some more money for Ben...but clinic girls only eligible for buckle.

We should have the Laura Schumann clinic and the Betsy clinic on how to send people down the alley in style.

What happened to LB?
  I pulled this from another post....so you would know what I said....
    They made me wait it felt like an eternity back there....CY is right...poor little bit's blood pressure was boiling...
Ask Cy...he really wanted to go...right then and I had to pull him up.  I gave alittle thought to his run on the way home.  I don't see him as
a true bleeder.  I think his blood pressure was to the point of popping and when I started walking him back to the trailer after picking up
Joker in the warm up pen, that is when I noticed blood.  Perhaps a blood vessel popped.   When I came out I never looked down at his
heel, CY and I were talking, and she went one way and I went another.  When I stepped off him and ungirted him blood was squirting out
on my pants....I took him back to the trailer and washed that foot off and ended up wrapping it with some vet wrap to keep it from bleeding.
He had a bad day and I really felt sorry for him because that little horse tries his heart out to please me.

Okay peeps!  I have to go home now.  I won't be able to get on the computer until later tonight cause we got chickens to pluck and I have to ride me pony.  

I think the weekend before Thanksgiving would be better cause some people might be broke after WBR...................

I might need a weekend to recoop from working the finals for Booby.................... :ROFL2: :ROFL2:

I guess he got all Mummified on us again

come to think of it....he kinda does look alittle like a mummy, huh?  >:D >:D >:D

ummm DTA...I think we should start on Saturday day, and then Sunday morning we will have alittle tuneup session about 9am to ready
your horses for a jackpot that would start about 3pm....then we can get finished and get home about dark.   Friday night, the ebarrel girls
might could find a place to meet and have supper the night before like a "get acquianted" night.  Or we could start later about 10am Saturday morning, and find out where we could all meet for breakfast early that morning....and then some wouldn't miss Friday night that way.  Whatever you guys vote on...

Yeah, this is what I call teamwork.  I THINK we will not be doing an open jackpot available to everyone.  I might be wrong.  We will just wait for the final details from Laura. 

I think the Tshirts are a great idea.  Way to go.  Anyone else have ideas that they want to share?  Please do.  I wasn't shy about having a clinic. *:o *:o *:o

This is gonna be awesome.  Best time ever.  We have to really discuss food..................... :cheeze:

Title: Re: a BIG thank you laura
Post by: lauraSchumann on September 29, 2008, 06:01:12 PM
Ok...just my thought on a jackpot....in the past in the clinics I've given that didn't have a jackpot I was able to do more Sunday work
with the students...tell you how.  We rode all day Saturday...early in the morning til wee hours in the evening.   The next day, we do a
morning of tuneup work---the work I'd want you to do to your horse the day before you went to a barrel race which shows you how to tune
before a run depending on what your horse has been doing.  Then we have our own little jackpot (just students, no entry fees, no pressure--just keep time) and film the runs...we usually break for lunch, come back and watch the runs, and then we go back out in the arena and we tune the horse back up after a run by using what we saw in the video (that you or he did) to better prepare for your next trip out.  I hand out the awards and we all go home.  That has worked well in the past.  Alot of people like it because they want that extra something there that shows them how to tune that horse after a run....and I can help them after that run unlike if we had a real barrel race...With it going on we couldn't go back in the arena and work.  

My thought is just to keep this light, simple and FUN.  I'm gonna have fun helping you guys, and hopefully you will learn something you didn't know....heck I might just learn something too...even if that something is just "stay out of boogerville"!!

He was real good back there and handled it like an old man.  And he wasn't old!...
the RCA finals in Bossier City,La..I have been after this win for AWHILE Usually i'll start off hot and win 3-4 rodeos and then my horse gets sick or hurt and I end up 2nd or 3rd for the year end...its happened the last 3 years! This year I didn't make the first 3 rodeos and won 3 of 4 rodeos i've been to. Just have one to go this weekend and a 3 go rodeo in Mobile,Al in mid October.
Running the big horse I was on helping you..he is kind of old LOL he's 14! I just had the german martingale on him so he wouldn't think we were running, when I pulled it off he went to hoping around, lunging and thinking GGGOOOO.

oh ya i agree with laura..jackpot only for the clinic members..yall have seen what it takes to put on an open barrel race and its just too dang much if lots of folks show up... i think it would take away from our specialized clinic and time with LITTLE LAURI DISHMAN!!!!!!!!   as debphony jumps on GUS and hauls @$$ away from hereroflmao

Okay.  We are getting closer.  Everyone will be required to bring in at least one donation.  Remember though the more the merrier.  Remember lots of people like bits and it doesn't have to be a new one.  There are all sorts of ideas you can do.  Clean out your tack room.  You might find some horsie stuff you don't need anymore.    One man's junk is another man's treasure.  You never know.  I know I would take used bits.  How bout you guys?  Would anyone be offended?  Let me know or I won't advertise any more. 

Yipee, I am ready for November...................What a great birthday present?   :yes: :yes:

this is going to be a great get away for me .. I have not run barrels since 2004 and I have not been to a clinic since 1999. I know my man Petey wont be ready for the pattern in November but I am so excited to get away and be able to ride my own horse the way I want to and have fun with the girls again!


Will anyone be interested in the t-shirts? I can start rounding those up if yall are. If yall do, what do yall want them to say?

DTA I am working on posting something for you about the tshirts.  I can't do two things at once.  GB said something about vendors.  I have a guy that works on my horse.  He does Equine Body Works.  He is not a CHIRO.  I think he is better than a chiro.  He does the stuff like Thumper does.  Some of you might have heard of him.  He knows lots of pro girls.  His name is Dan Wolfe.  I could ask him if he would be willing to come out for the clinic if anyone thought they would use him.  He would probably like to do at least 5 horses.  I think he charges $75 a horse.   Believe me it works..............Let me know your input.  I will check to see if he would even be interested.

Also I have given some thought to this...I have all the clinic forms...I will just add a space for "forum name" on that...plus I always
put sticky tags on my students so I learn their names...just put your forum name on that and your real name under...I have a questionaire
that I like filled out before the lecture---it gives me an idea of your goals...and you have evaluate your own riding skills on it!  It asks
about your horse, and just some general info that helps me help you.
That stuff I got....the rest you guys handle! <()>

 Yup, I guess they are saying I got the top................Laura, we bought one at TSC 7500 watts for $1,000 and it is awesome.  It has electric start and everything.  It is on wheels.  Glynn said nicest one we have ever had.  I know it probably is more than you want to spend but might as well do it right if you are going to do it.  I am tired cause I starting to sound crazy I think.  I still haven't eaten lunch.  I'm waiting for What a burger  :cheeze:

MMMM....I dunno that info DTA....maybe Tamet knows that info....

As far as start time...if we go with just starting...no meet n greet breakfast that morning...I would like everyone saddled by 8:30 and horses tied in arena....we will have a little lecture at 9am and everyone can visit alittle for 30 minutes before we start.....sounds early...but we have alot to do...I gave a clinic in Gatesville a couple of years ago and I was literally either riding a horse or walking on foot for 15 hrs out there...
we had 17 girls.

because she was 20 out....I didn't even know her name...poor girl was so sick that she didn't even know me but willingly gave me the horse.
