Yup, what size pattern cause that will dictate if I go or not.  I turned out and came home the year that it ran so late....................... >THUD<
GBA you know Shelley is going to have the pattern set up to make it go faster and smoother.  You have been to enough of her barrel races.  Just enter!!!!  You know we have fun!

As far as the alley issue's I have been there when they ran from the back and when they ran from inside with the holding pens.  Either way works well and she will make sure it is safe and fair to everyone.  As far as that goes, please do not tar and feather me over this, most of us have been to WBR's and you come from a holding pen, so I am not understanding why the WBR does not get this much controversy for each one of their barrel races!?

I have a feeling we dont complain abotu WBR's holding pen because you either love it or hate it...there are enough folks that dont care or love it to make it work. I do know however, that since there are 3 BIG races (Destry's, WBR and NBHA) the month of August, I had to pick one. It will be cheaper for me to enter WBR....But, some folks rather run State...Really, I think that with all the choices we havy, we should not "pcik" on anyone because if we dont like it, we can go somewhere else!!!! I wish I could go to all 3!!!!  <DUMMY ME>

I agree with special k! No harm meant by Joleta. State is going to be awesome, your 2nd year at organizing an event is always way better than the 1st!! Shelley had a pretty awesommmmme 1st year, being that it was given to her on such short notice. Hold on to your hats ladies, no telling what Shelley has planned this year. Good luck to all!!!! <ROCKON> <ROCKON> <ROCKON> <ROCKON>

When the pattern is set up with the holding pens, it seems to go faster and it is nice to come in and get cool.  Remember how hot it will be in August.  Either way is fine with me and my partners.  The short pattern allows for the 60-70 per hour, otherwise, you have to wait for people to get up the long alley and some stop at the front of the alley and walk out.

I couldn't have said it any better  :(((( Either way.... it should be a Hot time in Waco  :ROFL2:  One thing for sure is when Shelley and the crew start something it is AWESOME!!!!  I better get to picking up those aluminum cans to get entry fee's together....  :ROFL2:

Oh no guys I was not stirring the pot or anything like that I just was curious why not much is ever said about the set up at the WBR's. When I enter a large barrel race, I go to barrel race, be with my friends, have fun and if I am fortunate enough to win money that is a plus.  I understand that everyone has their concerns and trust me I would never bash the WBR, I enter them myself for the reasons I stated above.  GBA- I do understand what you mean about needing more help and we appreciated everybody that jumped right in to help last year.  And I agree with ez - Shelley did an excellent job last year considering the little time she had to organize it, so this year can only be better.....I just was stating that she would never set the pen up to take all night long or have an alley way that would get anyone hurt.  She is our state director but first she was one of us!!!!  I hope I did not offend anyone with my question about the WBR that was not my intentions nor was it my intention to make anyone feel like I was directing the question at them.  :cheeze: Well ya'll know that old saying curiosity kill the cat, I better go pet the kitty before it goes byebye!!!!  Hope to see all of ya'll at state, it is gonna be AWESOME!

When the arena is set differently for each producer, it gives opportunities to other people/horses.  Some like it short, some like it long, etc.   I love to see "new" people and horses show their stuff.  It renews everyones faith that it could be YOU....... <ROCKON>
