Does anyone know anything about TX 17?

[canchaser253]

No, Sulpher Springs is Tx 17, if I remember correctly I-20 is kinda the dividing line on the districts.   I feel for anyone that decides to become a director, having helped Donna with 17, there are some people that you just can't please!!!! :!  I am not sure the Good Lord himself could please these people!!!! rofl

I remember at one show the same woman told us the ground was to wet, then about 20 mins. later the ground was too dry!!!  Then that same day the same woman said the ground was to deep, then after she ran the ground was not deep enough!!!  I think by the end of the day she ended up getting told that no one had held a gun to her head and made her run at that barrel race!!!

Wow, I know from being in the sign-up area and in the announcers booth before that there is ALOT of people like that in this world!

Your right Whit. that's too far off a jump for me, guess I'll stay around here except for the bigger races. How ahve you been doing? Haven't seen you in awhile or talked to you since you were going to Ardmore. Hope to be seeing you at the races this year if I can ever get my horse back into shape!!! Hate the cold weather.

Glad to hear you're planning on being back in the saddle. Let me tell ya'll board buddies.....this woman is TOUGH!!! Just the fact that she can get out of bed every morning is nothing short of a miracle and a gift from God. I've often thought that if you shared your story you would make a great motivational speaker  /\\  Ok ya'll don't bug her....but it is an awesome story.

Sparkplug is getting a much deserved rest right now, 30 days completely off. No shoes, no shirt, no problems  (!!) . I did put him in the roundpen for about 10 minutes yesterday (hush Lisa.....not a workout....just wanted to see him move a little). He trotted and snorted the whole time. He feels so good. Its hard to give him a true break, but I know he needs it and goodness knows he deserves it. I know stuff will kick back off soon and I hope he's as ready to get back in the arena as I am.

Thanks for the info R-O-F  /\\ You're so good at finding stuff for us.

Thanks Whit. Don't know about tough, but I loved giving all of yall a run for your money. Now I'm just glad to be running again. You were always tough too, youve just gotten tougher!!Always loved to cheer you on & watch you run.

You have no idea what a HUGE compliment that is coming from you!!   ~:() You're not that much older than me, (maybe 5 or 6 years?  if that much) but back then you were the "IN CROWD", you always had good lookin,  <ROCKON> bada$$ horses and I wanted to be able to go and be competitive like you. To know that you enjoy cheering for me is such a boost!! Thanks, I needed this today!!
