From The Editor - Robin Hofmann
Christina Dusendang
Running to Bring
Our Children Home
H
ow many times have you pulled your horse trailer
down the highway and had a flat tire on the side of the
road? As a woman, I always have the initial moment
of trepidation, hoping that if someone stops to help it
is someone with good intentions. The wonderful thing
about pulling a horse trailer is that we are blessed with
a support group outside our family and close friends,
one which is tied together by the common thread
of our love horses. Almost every time I’ve had a flat
when I’ve been pulling a trailer, a fellow horseman has
stopped to lend a hand. It is one of those random acts
of kindness that most horse people (myself included)
try to pay forward.
The barrel racing industry is filled with good people
who are passionate about helping others. I recently
stumbled onto a program that I think deserves our
attention. While hosting the BBR OK-TX Regional in
Alvarado, TX a young lady travelled all the way from
Athens, TN to compete in the American Qualifier
sidepot. I didn’t know it at the time, but this young
woman turned out to be one of the REALLY good
people. Her name is Christina Dusendang and she is
the founder of Running to Bring Our Children Home,
or RBCH, though I prefer the actual name over the
acronym as the words carry far more weight about a
topic that is every parent’s worst nightmare.
Running to Bring Our Children Home is a pending
nonprofit organization based in the US, that combines
Christina’s passion about this tragedy with her vision
to unite the world of rodeo committees, barrel racers
and others within the equine industry, with law
enforcement, families and the professionals who serve
them on issues related to missing and sexually exploited
8
children. It is her mission to bring awareness to more
people, teach safety to our youth, and bring lost
children home.
As competitors hauling from one event to the next,
we travel a lot of miles. We see things most people
don’t see. And we have the opportunity to be on the
lookout for things that seem out of the ordinary for
some reason. RBCH intends to put all this travelling to
good use.
Christina credits her mother, Crystal Dusendang, as
being her primary reason for getting involved in this
endeavor. “My Mom is very passionate about this
topic. Seeing her fears for me when I’m on the road, or
hearing the worry in her voice when she can’t reach me
for 2 hours when I’m travelling and out of cell range,”
explained Christina. “She taught me at a very young
age what to look out for and how to keep myself safe.”
She laughed when she shared the following tips,
but the brevity of message was not lost. “ My Mom
has always told me, ‘ALWAYS park under a light. Never
park between semis at a truck stop. Never park next to
a van.’ I always carry my keys in my hand with the key
sticking out between my fingers.”
Christina says the formation of RBCH is something
she and those close to her have been thinking on and
working toward doing for the past of couple of years.
“Thanks to Milynda Raedel, who is part of the
RBCH team, we are launching the program this year in
2014. My Mom, Crystal Dusendang and Gigi Rock are
also helping make this happen. Gigi is our marketing
agent and she is helping us get the information out to
everyone,” stated Christina.
RBCH is a nonprofit organization in the U.S. working
with rodeo producers, members, and others within
the equine industry and along with law enforcement,
families, and the professionals who serve them
on issues related to missing and sexually exploited
children. RBCH hopes to be able to bring awareness to
more people, teach safety to our youth, and help get
these children home!
The RBCH mission is to divide the United States into
Regions using the rodeo circuit map. Teams of riders
will be formed within each. RBCH staff will work with
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
to gain information on victims all across the country.
This information will distributed to the teams out in
the field hauling to events, who will in turn not only
be on the look-out as they travel from event to event,
they will work with rodeo committees and barrel racer
producer to create awareness and teach safety tips to
the youth riders in the industry. Team members will
also work with local law enforcement agencies and local
hospitals in their efforts to find lost children and deliver
their child safety message.
Christina, who is 26, shared her insight on having
rodeo athletes deliver the message, “I know as a kid
when a parent tells us something we kind of view them
telling us because it’s their job to tell us, but we don’t
always listen until we get older. When someone else
tells a kid the same thing they will pay more attention.
Especially if that person is someone they look up to.”
RBCH is organizing a stallion service auction to
assist with the building a benefit barrel race to raise
the funding needed to create and print team rider
packets and the RBCH flyers that team members will be
distributing. The rider packets will include information
on how they can help, while the flyers will include
safety tips and contact information for the help hotlines
which riders will distribute to the public. Stallion
owners will be able to participate in the program by
paying $250 fee or donate a breeding for auction.
Proceeds from the auction will used to create an
incentive fund that will pay money back to contestants
who enter the RBCH Benefit Barrel Race.
Christina explained the RBCH game plan as follows,
“It is our goal to have a team of riders in every region
across the United States and then be able to appoint a
director in each region. Once directors are appointed it
will be up to them to manage their region and produce
at least one benefit per year in their region, This will
allow us to work on a more grassroots level with local
families and law enforcement who are looking for
missing children.
She also wants to use the benefit races to do
more than just raise money, “It is important that the
benefit events provide RBCH the opportunity to bring
awareness to this cause. They need to be fun so that
kids will want to participate.” She feels that if young
people want to participate then they will also want to
learn and hopefully hear the message.
As of January 6, 2014, Running To Bring Our
Children Home has received 210 applicants from
individuals wishing to sign on as RBCH team riders.
Applicants include law enforcement officers, private
investigators working in this field, a criminologist
graduate, as well as adults who were abducted and
found. Anyone interested in making a tax deductible
donation can do so via the RBCH web site www.
RunningToBringOurChildrenHome.com. For more
information about RBCH or how to become a team rider
or sponsor please call Milynda Raedel at RR Ranch (608)

BBR Introduces
Select Stallion Stakes in 2014
T
here are lots of stallion incentive programs and
stallion service auctions out there to choose from. One
might say the market is fairly well saturated. And, some
might further scoff at the idea of organizing such a
program on January 1st and launching that program on
January 10th, at the beginning of the competition year,
and right before breeding season, with a limited amount
of lead time prior to the identified incentive events.
The one thing the BBR founders have never shied away
from is a challenge, especially when they believe in a concept and have the ability to deliver on implementation.
We went back to the original plans used for organizing the
association:
• Offer options that are unique to this association.
• Over-deliver where other association don’t.
• Payback to a broader range of contestants than any
other association can.
And whaa-laaa you have the BBR Select Stallion Stakes!
The BBR Select Stallion Stakes is an invitational program that requires the stallions who participate to possess at least one of the following criteria:
1) be either a proven runner and/or performer,
2) be sired by a Leading Sire and out of a proven producer
with at least one proven half-sibling, or
3) be a proven sire of race and/or performance progeny.
BBR’s definition of “proven” requires an official performance record with AQHA, APHA or Equi-Stat, with earnings on the track and/or in the performance arena.
BBR is already a national association with over 9,000
members that sanctions upwards of 1,500 barrel races
per year. BBR produces the largest and richest divisional
barrel race in the US. BBR has a series of Regional Challenge Tour Finals in 5 different regions and is growing by
leaps and bounds. BBR is launching a Futurity Riders division in 2014 to better serve its members who are competing in futurities across the US. And BBR is the sanctioning
body for the RFD-TV’s The American Rodeo.
These options create a unique opportunity for BBR to
put incentive money in futurity, jackpot and rodeo competition through its broad range of alliances. Plans are to
apportion purses to different facets of the industry with
30% to Futurity, 30% to Jackpot and 30% to rodeo incentives.
BBR understands marketing and promotion in regard to
how it applies to barrel racing and the breeding industry,
possibly better than any other incentive program manager. From our perspective, most other programs do a great
job of collecting enrollment fees and paying out incentive
checks, but fall short when it comes to promoting the
stallions who participate and thereby making the stallion enrollment fee worth the investment to the stallion
owner.
BBR possesses the skill and the manpower to create
the advertising, plus the method to deliver the message.
But maybe most importantly we also have the audience
to receive the information. These are options that are
either not available or are not being fully utilized by other
programs at this time.
Our team of professionals is backed by years of experience in compiling stats, writing ad copy and pedigrees,
and designing advertising.
BBR’s monthly digital publication is currently being
received by close to 10,000 active email addresses across
the United States. BBR will create a Select Stallion Stakes
online registry that will reside in digital magazine format
on the BBR News Website. The online registry will be
emailed out each month during breeding season in an
email media blitz to our email address list.
BBR is also reaching over 36,000 active friends through
social media on its Facebook page where each post is
viewed by an average of 10,000 friends and reaching upward of 50,000 viewers per week. BBR will create a Select
Stallion Stakes album that will reside on the Better Barrel
Races Facebook page where Friends can access it readily
and share it with their own Facebook page.
These options allow BBR to promote the participating stallions to a broad spectrum of contestants, potential progeny buyers and mare owners who are potential
breeders.
We also understand that the stallion owner and the
horse owner are generally the people who have a monetary investment in any incentive program and as such
we understand that they should be rewarded accordingly,
thus a 60%-40% split with 60% going to progeny owner
purses and 40% going to stallion owner purses.
Stallion owners will be receiving invitations to participate sometime around January 15th. A list of participating stallions will be available on the BBR web site www.
betterbarrelraces.com and the Select Stallion Stakes
online Stallion Registry will be up and being added to on
February 1st at the BBR News web site www.betterbarrelnews.com. The Better Barrel Races Facebook Select
Stallion Stakes photo album will also be set up and ready
by February 1st. Barrel racers can check any of those
sites to see if their horses are sired by participating stallions, if so, get them enrolled in the program to be eligible
for incentive purses at the American Rodeo Semi-Finals &
Rodeo and the BBR World Finals!

Straight from the Secretary - Ross Wright
FOR BOTH
& OLD
New
Here we are already in February. Old man winter
is definitely not giving us a break and seems to think
that we all want to spend some time inside. WRONG!
However, if we are going to have to be indoors, I wanted
to take a minute to remind our members – or educate
some of our new members, of what to be expecting prior
to the finals and at the finals.
Entry forms will be mailed out the 2nd week of February and also posted on the BBR website. They are also
included in this edition of the BBR News. There are 2
forms, but only one will apply to you, depending on
your qualifier status. If you attended at least 8 shows as
a Standard member, or 6 as a Gold Card member, you
can enter the BBR World Finals that adds $50,000 to the
Open 5D. For those that did not meet those requirements, you can enter the New Member/Non Qualifier
Race that will be held in Barn 8 that has $2000 added.
Let me give you some details.
For the World Finals, there are 2 long go races that
will be run in 2 barns (the Coliseum and Barn 6). Each
long go race will be run over the course of 3 days. The
top 30 in each division of each long go race will qualify
for the short round on Sunday, which means there will
be 300 making the short round. This kind of gets confusing for those that are new, and takes a minute for
our “veterans” to remember how it works. There is not
a payout each day, just one large pay out on Saturday
for each long go race. Also this year, back by popular
demand, are the rider age-based side pots. This is a
carry over time from your runs in the long go races. Age
groups are as follows: Juniors (15 & Under), Adult (1649), and Senior (50 & Over). These side pots will also
be paid out on a 5D ½ second split. They are optional,
not required, an just provide an additional way to win
money. They will be paid out in only the 2 long go races.
Sunday’s short go is always exciting to watch. Contestants are run slowest qualifying time to fastest. Back
14
numbers will be provided to the qualifiers with the slowest qualifier receiving back numbers 300 and the fastest
qualifier receiving back number 1, which means short go
qualifiers will run in reverse order 300 to 1. That leaves
the fastest 50 for the very end – creating a section of
competition you will definitely want to watch.
Also on Sunday in Barn 6, we offer the Insurance race
with $2,500 added. If you enter the insurance race and
do NOT make the Short go, you are “insured” to get a 3rd
run (we think of it as a World Finals consolation race of
sorts). However, if you do make the short go, your entry
fee is forfeited and it becomes added money for those
that did not make the short go. Either way – you get to
run on Sunday. You must enter the Insurance race before
you make your first run in either of the long go races
of the BBR finals (you can enter it on your entry form).
This race has a $35 entry fee. The books will stay open
on this race until Thursday at 7pm for those in the draw
who will make their first run on Friday.
Now, if you did not make the World Finals, the New
Member/Non Qualifier is for you. It is also 1 race over 3
days, but the difference is you can enter the same horse/
rider combination 2 times!!! That gives you 2 runs as
well. You can enter until 1pm, on Thursday of the World
Finals (with a late fee after 3/15). It will count as a show
towards making the BBR World Finals in 2015!!!
Barn 8 will also be the competition arena for the Gold
Card and Youth races again this year. However, unlike in
2013, they are each their own race. The Gold Card Race,
Youth race (12 & Under), and the NMNQ will run on
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Members who choose to
enter the Gold Card Race must be Gold Card members.
A perk of being a Gold Card member and entering is the
Gold Card race awards saddles to the race winners in
each D!
Now for some clarification (I know some of you are a
little confused). If you qualify for the World Finals and
enter, but are also a Gold Card member or 12 & Under,
how do you run in the other classes? Simple, we are
going to draw you up on the day that you are not running in the World Finals. However, there are not any
carryovers if you are a youth with a Gold Card. You will
have to run 2 times. Also if you are Gold Card Member
you can enter just the Gold Card race and nothing more
if you so desire. Likewise members who meet the age
requirement of the Youth race can enter just the Youth
race if that is all they want to run in.
Keep in mind that if you are qualified for the BBR
World Finals, running in the NMNQ is not an option, just
like a non-qualified member is not allowed to enter the
World Finals $50,000 Added race. There is a place for
everyone.
For Futurity entries, there is no qualification, the rider
just has to be a current BBR member to participate.
So, as the entry forms come out, and you look down
and are confused or question what you should enter,
please re-read the above paragraphs to see if I answered
your questions. If I did, great, but if not, please do not
hesitate to call or e-mail the office so that we can get
your entry filled out correctly. The Finals this year will be
nothing less that GREAT!!! And we want to see everyone
there!!!
God Bless,
Ross

BBR FUTURITY STANDINGS &
FUTURITY RIDERS GUILD RULES
Purpose:
To create a more fair and balanced points program that
enables all BBR divisional jackpot members who aren’t
competing in Futurity races with lots of points a better
chance to be the High Point rider in their Regional division jackpot standings. In doing so, it is BBR’s goal to also
recognize our members who are Futurity Trainers for their
outstanding achievements, and providing them with a
good reason for being members which includes the opportunity to accumulate points from futurity competition
toward a year end awards program with their peers.
Sanctioning & Listing:
BBR Sanctioned futurity events (4 and 5 Years Old Events)
Horses meeting the specified age requirement by the producer (entries open to horses which have not competed
for money, points or prizes before Dec 1 prior to their
Futurity season).
• FUTURITY and Added Money detailed with listing.
• $15 per futurity round sanctioning fee to be paid by
producer
• Minimum $1,000 Added in Futurity (separate class or
sidepot)
• Futurities that are a separate class will be sanctioned
• Futurities which allow Roll Over to Open Jackpot will
be sanctioned
• Futurities which are a sidepot of an Open Jackpot will
be sanctioned
• Mileage radius will be based on added money in the
futurity alone
• Sanctioned Futurities will be identified as FUTURITY
and listed with other shows by date on the BBR Web
Site
Memberships:
Members who purchased a standard membership in 2013
may compete in futurity competition and accumulate
points toward the Futurity Riders Standings on their current membership card until such time as it expires. Once
the current membership expires, a member will need to
purchase either a Futurity Riders Guild membership or a
Gold Plus membership to continue earning points toward
the Futurity standings from any 2014 BBR sanctioned
Futurity they compete at. Likewise, NEW MEMBERS
wishing to participate in the Futurity division will need
16
to purchase either a Futurity Riders Guild membership
or a Gold Card Membership. Both the Futurity Riders
Guild membership and the Gold Card membership allows
these riders to accumulate points in both Futurity Riders
standings the Regional Jackpots standings. This is benefit to members who enter an Open Jackpot that offers a
Futrurity Sidepot, or when they opt to roll futurity times
(where offered by producer) to the Open Jackpots, as well
as when they are competing only in jackpot competition.
On the membership form you will notice a couple of
questions. Basically we are gathering information toward future use for the purpose of classifying riders for
awards purposes. This information will help us determine
whether riders are Professional Trainers, Non-Pros, or
Amateurs. How this information will be used to grow the
futurity riders division will depend greatly on the number
of Futurity Riders Guild memberships BBR receives.
Either of the below listed memberships will allow
members to accumulate points from Futurity competiton
toward Futurity Rider standings, as well as points from
Jackpot competition toward the Regional Hi-Point Year
End standings.
• $100 Futurity Riders Guild Members
(Includes World Finals Express Check In)
• $200 Gold Card Membership
(All inclusive with all VIP Perks)
Season End Points & Awards:
A top 10 futurity point standings will be tracked on a per
rider basis. By tracking points on a per rider basis in the
Futurity division allows BBR to sanction both 4 and 5 year
old events. Points will be accumulated in this division in
the same manner as is used in the jackpot division with
the points available being based on added money. This
set of points will be one National Standings rather than
Regional, and will be figured on a straight payout and not
by D’s. Points will be capped at $10,000 added in order
level the playing field on all big added money races. If
a rider is competing on more than one horse in a race,
points will be awarded for the highest placing run, all
other runs will receive the standard 5 points for participation. A minimum of Top 10 awards will be given. What
the awards are will be determined based on number of
Futurity Riders Guild Memberships and Division sponsorships received.

THE AMERICAN - BARREL RACING
SANCTIONING BODY
THE AMERICAN qualifiers will be put on by Better Barrel Races or BBR. The BBR has grown from its original
1,800 members in 2003 to its approximately 8,000
members today. Better Barrel Races now sanctions
more than 1,500 independently produced events in
five designated regions across the United States. Over
the past ten years the BBR has awarded more than $4
million in cash and prizes, making it the largest and
richest divisional barrel race in the world.
QUALIFIERS
There will be 5 qualifiers nationwide. We will be taking
the top ten finishers from each qualifier to the SemiFinals at Mesquite the week prior to THE AMERICAN.
Following are some key points that sum up the qualifiers:
$500 entry fee.
May enter as many of the 5 qualifiers as you want.
May enter each qualifier 2 times.
Each qualifier is one run (per entry).
Of the $500 entry fee, 25% is paid at that event, 25%
will be carried over to the Semi-Finals, and 50% will be
carried over to THE AMERICAN.
SEMI-FINALS
The Semi-Finals will be held one week prior to THE
AMERICAN at Mesquite Arena. This event will consist
of 50 contestants from the qualifiers, the BBR World
Champion and the possible Exemption Match or
Exemption contestant. These individuals have already
paid their $500 entry fee at the qualifiers, so there is
no entry fee. Not including the possible Exemption
contestants, 51 contestants will run one slack run, and
then the top 20 finishers from that round will be split
into two performances. One performance will be Saturday at 7 PM and the second will be Sunday at 2 PM.
After those 20 individuals run in the performances,
along with the possible Exemption Match or Exemption contestant, the top 10 times and the possible
Exemption Match winner, or Exemption contestant,
will solidify their spot in THE AMERICAN.
The pay-out at the Semi-Finals will come from the
other 25% of the $500 entry fee that the contestants
paid at the qualifiers. There will be no round money
paid, only average money.
22
EXEMPTIONS
Every event has the right up to 2 exemptions that can
be made by THE AMERICAN committee.
If two contestants are selected there will be an exemption match between the two at the Semi-Finals in
Mesquite. The winner of this match wins an automatic
bid into THE AMERICAN, making the field 16 teams.
If one contestant is selected they have the opportunity
to compete at Mesquite and THE AMERICAN.
The BBR 2013 World Champion will receive an invitation directly to the Semi-Finals, but if he or she competes in the qualifiers, their invitation is revoked. This
contestant must finish in the top 5 at the Semi-Finals
to move on to THE AMERICAN.
Exemption contestants must pay the $500 entry fee.
THE AMERICAN
THE AMERICAN will consist of the top 10 barrel racers
in the world (WPRA after the WNFR) free of entry fees,
as well as, the 10 contestants that qualified through
the Qualifiers and Semi-Finals, and the Exemption
Match winner (making a field of 21). THE AMERICAN
will be two runs. All 21 competitors will have one run,
with the top 4, after that run, moving on to a shootout
round that will determine the champion and reserve
champion (one run determination, not average on 2).
The champion will win $100,000 and the reserve
champion will win $25,000. In the case that the
champion came from the “not” top-10, they will place
themselves in a pot for the chance to win $1,000,000.

the 5th and final qualification race for
RFD-TV’s The American Rodeo.
by Robin Hofmann
B
arrel racers from all over the United States and
Western Canada converged on the Valley of the Sun for
a 3 week stretch of winter relief. The rich barrel racing
purses being offered at 3 BBR Sanctioned races, all of
which were run consecutively at the South Buckeye
Equestrian Center in Buckeye, AZ, made Buckeye the
destination hot spot. The BBR Arizona tour started
out with the BRN4D $25,000 Added Classic Equine
Futurity/5D, followed by the BRN4D $25,000 Added
Greg Olson Futurity/5D the very next weekend, and
culminated the 3rd weekend with PacWest’s $17,500
Added Futurity/5D. PacWest’s Saturday competition
featured the 5th and final qualification race for RFDTV’s The American Rodeo.
The idea that individuals seeking the American
through the qualifier process are amateurs is a giant
misnomer in the industry. One last chance to earn one
of only 10 remaining spots to compete at the American
Semi-Finals in Mesquite, TX February 21-23 drew 98
entries that included several 2013 Champion barrel
racers. Professional barrel horse trainer/youth coach
and NBHA World Champion Talmadge Green drove
1,700 miles from Georgia to bring his team members
Max and Allie Chouest, and make a bid himself for a
2nd qualification spot. BFA Derby Champion and New
Arena Record setter Erin Ricotti came to play, as did
AQHA Reserve World Champion Pete Oen and Jud
Little Futurity Champion Kelly Conrado. It brought
former NFR finalists Angie Meadors from Oklahoma,
Lisa Ogden and Danyelle Campbell-Bassett from Texas.
World Champion Brittany Pozzi and Fallon Taylor, who
both failed to earn a direct entry to the American Rodeo
by missing the top 10 cut from the Wrangler National
Finals in December, were on hand, just to name a few.
American competition in Buckeye was run as a
26
sidepot of the Saturday 5D race with qualification
hopefuls scattered throughout the draw, a factor
that caused the the anticipation to build as the day
stretched out. Jordan Bassett was the only rollover from
the Futurity. Bassett made her bid aboard Cocomo Jo, a
son of Dash Ta Fame, with a clean, quick 17.160, that on
any other day would have been considered a smoking
run on a standard pattern. Such was not the case on
January 18th, Bassett would end up 17th overall by
10pm that night. The combo would feel the pain of the
phrase “a day late and a dollar short” on Sunday when
they came back to clock 16.770, the fastest time of the
entire 3 week series.
Hot And Frosted (Hot Colours – Miss Jay Frost, Tiger
Frost) and rider Tami Semas were 5th in the draw and
one of the teams to watch based on times clocked at
the previous races. The 10 year old gelding laid down
a run that had everyone sucking in their breath when
the duo rocked the 3rd barrel and came out wide on
the way home. Semas never quit riding and her horse
kept getting gears all the way up into the holding pen.
That energy paid off, when the flickering red lights on
the display came to a stop on 16.808. The bar had
been set by which all others would be measured. And
as luck would have it the time held first throughout the
remainder of the race.
Semas, who hails from Oregon, came into the
qualification race on the heels of a 3-year rehab for her
horse Hot N Frosted. The talented gelding sustained a
potentially career ending injury during his derby season.
“I was told he wouldn’t ever run again,” stated Semas.
“After my run I was just, after the journey we have been
on to get where we are today, I am pretty excited.”
Semas hasn’t been to a rodeo in 9 years. She has
children and over the last several years has stayed close
to home, training futurity horses and raising her family.
Once it became apparent that Hot N Frosted’s recovery
was complete and he was sound, Semas jumped into
rodeo mode and qualified for the 2013 Columbia River
Circuit Finals.
Several were predicting a 17.1 or 17.2 on a standard
pattern would be good enough to make the cut for the
top 10. A theory which might would ordinarily hold
water. However, when close to 100 of the best horses
in the country show up to run on excellent ground
conditions, it goes from being an observation based on
experience, to nothing more than wishful thinking.
The 17.2’s didn’t get a sniff. And 17.1’s fell like flies
as the 17 .0’s and 16.9’s kept coming. Fallon Taylor gave
the crowd a fist pump early into the competition when
she and AQHA Horse of the Year Baby Flow stopped the
clock 17.062. When the race ended at 10pm that night,
Taylor was sitting in 11th place. The competition would
see Brittany Pozzi tip on her mare and miss the bar on
her gelding. Talmage Green would suffer a similar set of
circumstances, tipping on one horse and failing to clock
fast enough on the other.
Callie DuPerier came mounted for bear with former
NFR Arena Record Setter Rare Dillon (Firecracker Fire –
Rare Class, Rare Jet) in her arsenal. DuPerier and Dillon
had spectators running to watch when their turn came
around. They did not disappoint. The pair rocketed
through the pattern in typical Dillon fashion, making
2-strided turns and taking a little paint off the tops of all
3 barrels, to stop the clock for the 2nd fastest time of
the day, 16.923.
Californian Erin Ricotti rounded out the top 3 aboard
her OKC Derby Champion ride, Royal Star Commander
(AR Star – Go Royal Scarlett, Royal Go Go) with a
16.941. The seven year old gelding is owned by Jim &
Ruth Haislip and is out of Ruth’s NFR mount. Ricotti has
been riding the gelding for a short while but they are
certainly a nick. The big strided sorrel dominated the
straighaways and attacked the turns showing he and his
jockey possessed both outstanding talent and nerves of
steel.
Only 3 other sub-17 second runs were turned in.
Among them were 4th place qualifier Danyelle Bassett
on Repeate Fame (16.947), 5th place Kathy Grimes on
KG Justiceweexpected (16.74) and Canadian Cowgirl
Nina Smith on Cloud Grey (16.984) placed 6th. Angie
Meadors nailed down 7th on Powdergirls Shakem
(17.011), 8th place went to Katie Garthwaite, who calls
Canada homes these days, on FC Guys Prime Time
(17.033). Danyelle Bassett claimed 2 of the 10 positions
placing 9th on her 2nd horse Famous Dungarees
(17.044). 67-years-young Orla Mae Harvey and Extras
Honor finished out the field of the top 10, a perfect
example of the ‘Long Live Cowgirls’ anthem!
Danyelle Bassett joins Shali Lord, Kelly Yates, Kendal
Owen and Christine Laughlin as riders who will get to
run two horses at the Mesquite, TX Semi-Finals.
These 10 will join the other 40 from the previous
qualifying races and head to Mesquite, TX February
21-23. All 50 qualifiers will compete February 21st at
8am in a slack round. The 20 fastest riders in slack,
minus any of the double qualifiers, will be split into two
groups of 10, with 10 competing in a 7pm performance
on Saturday night and the other 10 competing in a 2pm
performance on Sunday. The fastest 10 times from the
2 performances will move forward to compete at RFDTV’s The American Rodeo in AT&T Cowboy Stadium on
March 2.

CLASSIC
EQUINE
FUTURITY
Pete Oen
by Sue Karges
With Classic Equine Futurity number three officially
in the books, Mike Gammelgard - spokesman and
producer for Barrel Racers National 4D, couldn’t be
happier. BRN4D already produced the Greg Olson
Futurity in Buckeye, AZ. His plan was to pair a new
event and make January in Arizona THE destination
for barrel racing. Clearly the plan has come together.
Trainers, jockeys, and owners from as far away as
Maryland and Canada joined the pilgrimage to the
South Buckeye Equestrian Center, January 3-5,
for the biggest pay-offs and record entries to date.
Gammelgard noted, “I knew we wanted to do another
futurity with the Greg Olson, but we needed instant
credibility. We got that when Classic Equine committed
to sponsor. Without them we could not do this, I can’t
thank them enough”. He added, “I am excited that
this year we also joined Better Barrel Races, a national
barrel racing association that endorses independent
producer’s shows for members to get qualified for their
BBR World Finals”.
The combination of BRN4D and BBR sanctioning
made the Classic Equine Futurity and Open Jackpots
the first of three weeks of BBR approved races held at
the South Buckeye Equestrian Center. Gammelgard
and BBR CEO Robin Hofmann made the alliance to
support the many contestants who are BBR card
carriers. “BBR is really excited to be able to work with
BRN4D in Buckeye. We are kicking off a new futurity
division in 2014, the Futurity Riders Guild, and this will
be allow that division and the futurity trainers who
are BBR members to get a jump start on the season
point standings. I think any time associations can
38
work together through co-approval to benefit the
contestants and give them something more for the
miles they haul and the entry fees they pay it is a winwin situation,” Hofmann said.
Arizona did not disappoint, including fabulous sixty
degree weather during a record cold snap up north.
Over 230 entries in the $15,000 added Futurity, a full
slot race paying $45,000, $1,500 added Derby, over 700
composite entries and $11,000 added to the 5D Open
jackpots, resulted in a payout of more than $160,000
into the hands of barrel racers. The Open 5D paid 10
places in each division for both weekend runs and gave
average awards 10 deep in each D.
Pete Oen, of Ardmore, OK wasted no time setting the
bar on Friday, posting the futurity fast time of 17.132.
Riding Gowin Ta Be Famous, by Dash Ta Fame and out
of Brianna Choice by Braedons Choice (an Easy Jet and
Merridoc bred mare), Oen’s time held to carry over and
claim the $20,000 slot race victory as well as winning
the first futurity go-round. The pair claimed third in
the average. Oen was very happy with the late-started
mare. He said, “I brought her because I thought she
had a shot, but I was not convinced she was ready to
win. I was impressed with her when she stepped up
and beat that many great horses.” He added, “I am still
running her in the big fat O-Ring snaffle we started her
in, no ty-down or anything. This filly is a natural; she
just knows how to do things that you have to teach the
others”.
Cayla Melby, of Burneyville, OK, 16 year-old daughter
of NFR speedster Jane Melby, guided her mare Dash
Ta Lil to an 8th place finish in the first round, and 4th
Danyelle Bassett
place in the second. She claimed the average, the
Classic Equine Futurity title, and the Martin Saddlery
trophy saddle by the slimmest of margins, just one
hundredth of a second faster than Kelsey Lutjen. (See
Greg Olson Futurity story for more on Lutjen). Cayla
laughed, “People were telling me congratulations, and
I was thinking ‘for what’? So mom said let’s go look”!
The younger Melby is proudly credited by her mom for
training her own horse, but Cayla humbly acknowledges
the Melby Team effort. Cayla said, “My dad and brother
helped train her too. I tell mom I made the horse for
her, she is her style”. Dash Ta Lil is by Dash Ta Fame,
out of Lil Bitty Pretty by Oak Tree Special. The home
schooled high school sophomore described her mare,
“She knows she’s pretty, thinks she’s great and has a
sassy attitude!” Although new to futurities, Cayla Melby
grew up around rodeo and is already a card holder in
the CPRA. When Cayla asked how to prepare for futurity
runs, her mom quipped, “Ride her like she’s a rodeo
horse!”
Only two runners broke the sub-17 second run
threshold during the entire event. The first was
Haley Wolfe, Aztec, NM on Mia Fabulous Fame (by
Frenchmans Fabulous out of Reposada by Dash Ta
Fame), with a 16.942 on Friday, earning the $1,500
added Derby win and Martin Saddlery trophy saddle,
and topping the Friday Open Jackpot.
The Sunday Jackpot got the exclamation mark, as
Danyelle Bassett, newly of Bryan, TX, piloted Repete
Fame (by Dash Ta Fame, out of Hitten Pay Dirt by
Arbeka Jet One) through a scorching 16.877 trip for the
Cayla Melby
fastest time of the week, sealing the average and the
trophy I-Pad. She laughed, “I really appreciate the I-Pad
as I am probably the last person out there that does
not have one yet!” The win was special for her as her
beloved mare, a former NFR qualifier, was sidelined for
a few years but is now coming back strong. She added,
“I want to thank the BRN4D crew, they have a great
event with wonderful ground and fun prizes. Barrel
racers really appreciate it.”
On a final note, Mike Gammelgard shared an
extraordinary barrel racer story. A special event of
the Classic Equine and Greg Olson Futurities this year
was a Pay-Per-View Webcast Clinic, featuring Jolene
Montgomery on January 8th. But Montgomery’s
horse went down with her at the Classic Equine
Futurity, severely breaking her ankle requiring surgery.
Gammelgard assumed that the event would have to
be postponed, but Montgomery checked out of the
hospital in time to do the full clinic sitting in a chair
with her foot on a pillow. Friends Pete Oen and Jordan
Briggs did the riding to demonstrate for the clinic.
Gammelgard noted that they will replay the webcast in
the future, and added “How tough is that? We just love
Jolene Montgomery!”

15TH GREG OLSON FUTURITY
by Sue Karges
W
in the Record Books
hat do you do when you miss winning the Classic
Equine Futurity by one hundredth of a second? For
twenty year-old Kelsy Lutjen, the only answer was
to double down and come back the next weekend
with guns ablazin! The Reserve Championship left her
so confident in her mare, KN Fabs Gift Of Fame (by
Frenchmans Fabulous, out of Mistys Dash Of Fame
by Murr The Blurr), that the Casa Grande, AZ native
anteed up and paid the $2,000 to purchase an entry in
the $45,000 slot race during the $15,000 added Greg
Olson Futurity, January 10-12, 2014. Her decision paid
off. With just eight competition runs to her credit,
Lutjen’s rock star palomino mare lit the leader board
with fireworks, clocking the only sub-17 second run in
either futurity. In round one Lutjen cleared the alley
with a 16.999; good enough to win the round, win the
$20,000 slot race championship, run the Futurity Fast
Time, and sealed her victory in the average by over
two tenths of a second.
Lutjen had a good reason for believing in her mare.
She trained her, has won on her siblings, and knows
her sire, Frenchmans Fabulous, quite well. Lutjen
campaigned the palomino stallion, owned by Kenny
Nichols, as her high school rodeo mount, winning the
National High School Rodeo Finals Goat Tying title in
1012. The all-around hand also headed, ran barrels,
and break-away roped on him, earning the National
High School Rodeo Girl’s Reserve AQHA Horse of the
year, and Arizona Girl’s AQHA Horse of the Year. She
said, “Kenny Nichols and Dale Barron are co-owners of
this mare. They have allowed me to ride great horses
and I can’t thank them enough for making this all
possible”.
Running late in the first round, Lutjen knew a 17.0
was leading. She made the decision to trust her mare
to respond to just a bit more pressure, adding light
spurs before her run. She explained, “She had been
running really solid, so I added the spurs, gave her just
a little more arc to the first, and she turned it perfect.
I concentrated on keeping her smooth, her forward
motion never stopped, and she clocked.” Good enough
44
to best the field of over 240 runners and bring home
serious cash; $11,462 for the Futurity and $20,000 for
the slot race, as well as a cool scooter, a trophy rifle,
and the King of Sires Award – a $3,500 Coats Trophy
Saddle.
Event coordinator Mike Gammelgard, of Barrel
Racers National 4D, commented, “It was great to see
Kelsey Lutjen win this, she is a really hard working
young lady, and did this herself on one horse”.
Gammelgard and BRN4D are in their sixth year of
hosting the event, and 2014 was the best turn out yet.
He said, “We made kind of a bold move, we actually
bought the event from founder, Kris Eisenhut. He
started it 15 years ago in honor of his friend, Greg
Olson”. Gammelgard continued, “When we bought it,
they had 72 runners. It is amazing how it has grown,
and we are sure glad we did it”.
Some numbers to indicate the phenomenal success
of the venue in 2014 include: Over 240 entries in the
Futurity with a total pay-out of $96,312; a full slot race
paying out $45,000, almost 60 in the Derby paying
out $6,777, and then the 5D jackpots. The Friday
jackpot ran 253 with a total purse of $9,500; Saturday
508 runners entered and the purse was $31,833, and
Sunday’s jackpot ran 370 for $24,633. When you add
those up the Greg Olson Futurity and Jackpots paid out
$214,055. The jackpots paid down 15 places in each
D, and barrel racers were delighted with the prizes
awarded 15 deep in each D for the average of the
Saturday and Sunday runs. Gammelgard stated, “We
plan to keep growing. The more money you add-the
more players you get.” He added, “Classic Equine also
sponsors this event, making it a perfect Double Crown
with the Classic Equine Futurity here last week. We are
also now co-sanctioned with Better Barrel Races.”
BBR so-sanctioning with BRN4D means both the
Classic Equine Futurity and the Greg Olson Futurity
counted toward the newly formed BBR Futurity Riders
Guild point standings. The open jackpot competition
from both races also count toward the BBR Regional
point standings. “There are so many BBR members
Kelsy Lutjen on KN Fabs Gift Of Fame
making the trip to Buckeye for the month of barrel
races that it only made sense for the BRN4D and BBR
to work together to the benefit of the contestants,”
explained BBR CEO Robin Hofmann. Hofmann came
in early for the Greg Olson race and stayed thru the
following weekend for the Pac West race, which
hosted the final qualifier for RFD-TV’s American
Rodeo.
Gammelgard is justifiably proud of the events. He
said “We could not ask for a greater facility than the
South Buckeye Equestrian Center, and I cannot thank
our office staff enough. They are the best in the
business.”
The jackpot fast time of the week was a repeat
from the previous weekend Classic Equine jackpot fast
time; Repete Fame (by Dash Ta Fame, out of Hitten
Pay Dirt by Arbeka Jet One) to be exact. Danyelle
Bassett, Bryan, TX and her beloved mare ran the only
16.8 of both the Classic Equine and the Greg Olson
events. Saving the best until last, Bassett set Sunday’s
jackpot D’s with her wicked fast 16.857. Repete Fame,
a former NFR qualifier for Bassett, is no stranger to
fast times but has been sidelined for a couple of years
with an injury. Bassett shared, “this mare is so special
to me. I ran her mother; she was part of our family.
She had a career ending injury and we bred her to
Dash Ta Fame. ‘Repetey’ got her name because when
she was foaled, she was an exact duplicate of her
mother. We only got two foals from her mother. She
is so special to me, and I am blessed to have her back
and running.”
Although only two runs at the Classic Equine event
were under 17 seconds, the pace was faster at the
Greg Olson. Altogether there were 11 runs faster
than 17, all in the .9’s except for Basset. Nina Smith
on Cloud Grey ran the second fastest time of the week
with her second place finish in Sunday’s 1D, running
16.917. Kathy Grimes rounded out the top three
fastest times winning the Derby and Friday’s jackpot
on KG JusticeWeExpected with a 16.924.

he weather in North Augusta, South Carolina
wasn’t ideal for barrel racing on the first weekend of
2014, but with the Hippodrome’s nice indoor facilities
and a purse full of added money the rain, clouds, and
chilly temperatures didn’t seem so bad. Thanks to the
sponsorships of P& L Crushing, Mosley Farms, Creek
Run Vet Clinic, Ridgeland Vet Clinic, Tatham Body Shop,
Hart Farms, Rainbow Tack, Stoops Tack, and Ronnie
Hester Photography there was plenty of money to be
won at Southern Rose Ranch’s annual Run for the Roses
Barrel Futurity and Open. Producers Mike and Janelle
Green, along with the rest of Southern Rose Ranch, put
together a $5,000 added futurity, $3,000 added open,
and gave away $5,000 in Future Fortunes incentive
money. The straight pay out format of the futurity drew
some of the top futurity names in the business, which
also made for a tough open race. The futurity was two
runs and an average, while the open was two separate
races over two separate days.
Laying down the fastest time of the Run for the Roses
Futurity was Leslie Willis, who is no stranger to the pay
window. Willis had three formidable futurity horses
entered but it was her 2010 brown gelding Gimme Da
Money (Tres Seis - Da Money, Mr Eye Opener), who
topped the overall fastest time of the futurity with a
14.235. “Gimme’s” run in the first go was good enough
for Willis to pocket $1,120. “That run was fast, but we
had a little mistake leaving the first barrel,” Leslie said,
“I like him because if he doesn’t hit the first barrel leaving it.” Leslie won the first go and also placed 3rd on her
home grown brown mare Me Me And Me (Deltas First
Dash - Shesa Bye Bye Bug, One Rare Bug) who just had
her first competition run the week before. “We will be
50
going to the East Coast Classic, LG Pro Classic, Diamonds
and Dirt, and the Old Fort Days Futurity,” says Willis.
Claiming the Run for the Roses Futurity average was
Craig Brooks and a very consistent buckskin gelding
named French N Tonic, a.k.a. Patron, who is owned by
Linda Capozzoli and Michelle Lynn of Free Spirit Farm
out of Ocala, Florida. Brooks’ time on two was good
enough to win the average check of $1,494.00 by about
three tenths—28.667. “Patron” as he is fondly called
around the barn, was a model of consistency in North
Augusta. The buckskin came in fourth place in the first
go with a 14.321 and won a check for $640. Then, the
gelding bested the field in the second go with a 14.346
to pick up another check for $1,120. It was a good
weekend for Brooks, who only entered his first barrel
race in September of 2001, and is steadily challenging
his peers to show he is a force to be reckoned with in
the tough Southeast futurity scene.
Brooks knew the 2010 gelding by Crown Royal
Frenchman out of the mare In Pursuit Of Passion (by
Red Hot Pursuit) had a good shot to win it in the second
go. “…he was 4th in the first go and typically gets faster
his second trip. In the second go he ran really hard to
the first barrel, so I thought I needed to touch him, but
when I did he really set to turn and we almost didn’t
get to it.” Brooks was a little worried the mistake would
cost him on the clock, but the gelding just kept moving
and made up plenty of time on his second and third
barrels.
Being a full time trainer Brooks has a barn full of
horses but he says Patron has a big personality that
stands out. “He is into everything! We wrap his legs at
events at night but he usually decides when he wants
Craig Brooks
Kelsey Davis
Laura Williams
Jesse Hopper
to take the wraps off.” With spring futurity season in
full swing, Brooks is planning to run Patron at the LG
Pro Classic, Unadilla Futurity, The Panty Raid Futurity,
and the Old Fort Days Futurity. Brooks adds, “We will
see how things are going for the fall futurities and the
Oklahoma City BFA.”
The Open 4D, held on Friday January 3 and Saturday
Jan 4, was a good chance for some of the older, more
seasoned horses to take a run at the $3,000 added
purse. The 1D winner was no stranger to the winner’s
circle. Talmadge Green posted the fastest time of the
entire weekend over both the open and the futurity
with a blistering 14.076 riding the Chouest’s family’s
phenomenal 2003 model mare, Sixums Lady Luck, to
top Saturday’s open race. Green pocketed $491.00 for
the 1D win.
The fast 2D time of the weekend went to Kelsey
Davis and her mare Dashin Angie with a 14.606 and was
good for $381.00 at Friday’s open race. “Besides the
weekend before I had not ran Angie since September.
It was one of those ‘not-so-perfect’ runs but we are
starting to put everything back together,” Davis said.
“Angie has a personality all her own,” Davis added, “she
doesn’t care for a lot of affection.” Davis has her goals
set on rodeo in 2014. She purchased her PCA card and
plans on rodeoing with a few shows on the side.
Winning the 3D was Laura Williams on her 2009
sorrel mare, Famous Martini. Williams’ Saturday run
of 15.087 was merely one one-hundredth of a second
ahead of second place in the 3D, and her run won her
$245.00.
Jesse Hopper’s last minute decision put $127.00 in
his pocket when he won the 4D on Friday with a 16.127,
on Sunshine. “I’d only had her three days prior to the
Run for the Roses,” Jesse laughed, “and I didn’t know
her registered name or if I was even going to run her. It
was definitely a last minute decision to take her.” Hopper’s decision paid off, even if it’s not entirely what he
hoped for. “I hadn’t really run her before and it was just
one of those runs where you just kind of see what’s going to happen.”

NEW YEARS
FUN RUN
Victoria W
illiams
by Leslie Pevey
T
he 2013 year ended on a high note with
the annual New Years Fun Run 4-D barrel race in
Hattiesburg, MS. Down South Productions put on
the hugely successful event on December 27-29th
at the Forrest County Multi-Purpose Center. Over
$57,000 plus assorted prizes were given out over the
weekend. Sponsors for the event included Wards,
Mississippi Ag/John Deere, Gulf Coast Trailer Sales,
Boot Country of Hattiesburg, and the Fairfield Inn of
Hattiesburg. Cindy Carroll of Down South Productions
had this to say about the barrel race, “The event ran
very smoothly and everyone enjoyed it. We had a
total of 1,671 entries and ran fifty horses an hour
(because Down South has a great staff).
This barrel race had a few extras added that made
the weekend special. Carroll explains, “We had a lot
of fun. During the race spectators played Wards Barrel
Racing Bingo. We had a team barrel racing side pot
where all riders had a handicap time. Saturday night,
we cooked out in Barn C. Our friends David Bush
and Kurt Necaise cooked some fantastic gumbo and
jambalaya in two of the largest pots I have ever seen,
and it was gone in an hour.”
Saturday saw the fastest times of the weekend.
Victoria Williams of Kiln, MS, ran the weekend’s
fastest time of 14.349 on her grey mare, Three Jets.
This run won her $1,044. She had this to say about
running in Hattiesburg: “My mare seems to really
like that pen, but I was surprised by her times that
weekend.” Williams, who mainly uses Three Jets for
professional rodeos, wanted to get some runs on
the mare before the 2014 rodeo season starts. “We
decided to give her a month off after Thanksgiving,
56
and at the last minute I decided to take her there
and try to make a few runs.” Williams and Jets also
won second in the 1D in the Friday race, and second
in the 1D in the weekend average race, totaling her
weekend winnings to over $1,500. When asked what
draws her to the Hattiesburg facility and Down South
Productions runs, she told us “We go to most of the
Hattiesburg runs because we only live an hour away
from the facility. Also, because Sarah and the rest
of the Down South Productions crew always put on
a good show and normally have a good turnout.”
Victoria is a BBR member, and says that the BBR is
“great as an association and they approve some really
great events. I can’t wait to be able to attend their
finals one day!”
The winner of Saturday’s 2D was Susan Frith of
Thomasville, AL, on her stocky gelding, Remedys
Smart Pistol. Her weekend turned out to be a
fantastic one, as she left on Sunday with over $1,500
in total winnings. However, money is not the only
thing she left with. A breast collar from Faith N
Candy’s booth joined her gain after winning a bet with
her fiancée. “He said that if I could run a fourteen
on both of my Saturday runs, he would go upstairs
and buy me that breast collar,” she said. Pistol has a
ducking problem and had not seen a barrel since July,
so she was very happy about how her weekend went.
When asked about the Hattiesburg facility and Down
South Productions runs, she only had good things to
say, “Hattiesburg is my favorite race, it’s like a family
reunion there. It’s a clean atmosphere, great barrel
race, and the payout is great. I have never missed
one in eight years.” Susan is a BBR member, and she
very much enjoys the association. She said that the BBR
Finals “paid wonderfully” when she went to Oklahoma
City in 2012.
Tammy Dew of Meridian, MS, took the top of
Saturday’s 3D. Her beautiful palomino stud horse, Dash
for Fuel, clocked a time of 15.350. She received $596
for the run. Tammy had just started competing on Fuel
earlier in the year, and was very impressed with the
progress she made with him in 2013. “I’m so proud of
my boy”, she said. Tammy is a BBR member, and has
made plans to attend the 2014 BBR World Finals in
Oklahoma City, OK.
Anna Dixon of Thomasville, AL, won Saturday’s 4D
with a time for 16.362. She cashed out with $447 on
her gelding, Baby Trucks. “I just started riding Baby
Trucks this year, and the Hattiesburg run was my first
big barrel race where I ran him.” Her horse has been in
the family for a long time. “He belonged to my older
sister, Katherine, and she won a lot on him. He is an
automatic barrel horse and I love riding him.” She was
very impressed with her winning run on Saturday, since
she has not been riding him for long. “He definitely
knows what to do”, she says of Baby Trucks. When
asked about the horse’s unusual name, she said,
“When we got him, he already had the name ‘Baby
Trucks’. We thought about changing his name, but after
getting to know him, the name just suited him. He is as
sweet as a baby, and is built like a truck!” Anna enjoys
coming to the runs at Hattiesburg. “I love coming to
Hattiesburg because I like the arena; it has good dirt
and a nice warm up facility. I also like that everything
is covered and you don’t get wet if it’s raining.” She is
in agreement that Down South Productions always put
on a quality event, and that people take notice. “My
parents like to bring us to the New Years Run because
it’s a great family atmosphere. Also, the payouts are
always good!” Anna also competes in NBHA and the
Alabama Open Horse Show Association.
Down South Productions works hard to put on a
quality show, and appreciate all who attend. Cindy
Carroll states, “Most importantly, I want to thank all
the barrel racers that attend Down South events. As
always, Down South’s shows are fun, fair, and safe. We
have been in business for over eleven years and hope
to have many more.” Down South Productions holds
five shows a year in Hattiesburg. Their next event,
the Easter Fun Run, will be held on April 18th-19th in
Hattiesburg. A flyer of the event can be found at

Tips From The Top: Cody Hyde
Futurity Horses and Peak Performance: Less is More
“Some just get physically and mentally
tired, although sometimes you have
to look at the training too”
by Doreen Shumpert
We have all heard that cliché, but with so many
trainers, so many products, so many barrel racers, the
latest “bling”…choices can be overwhelming. It’s better
to settle on one good vet, saddle, horse and trainer,
for instance, than to follow the latest trends. And,
for competition, “less is also more” when it comes
to preparing and keeping your futurity horse (or any
horse) ready to run.
Champion derby and futurity trainer Cody Hyde
shared some of his “less is more” philosophy on
preparing a futurity horse for peak performance, and on
keeping them at a top level.
PREPARATION
Hyde keeps it simple. A common question for
trainers is “How many runs do you make at home” or
“how many runs do you make at the event to feel the
ground”, for instance. Hyde rarely makes any. “A horse
shouldn’t need that kind of last minute training,” he
said. “I want a horse to be as confident as he can be,
and trotting gives them more confidence than too many
practice runs.”
Consequently, he trots. A lot. He rides five days a
week, and trots the pattern 15 to 20 times per session.
And that’s pretty much it. Yes, he lopes a few circles,
but “somewhere else, away from the pattern.”
“I don’t do a lot of special exercises, or a lot of big
circles in the arena,” he explained. “I trot my horses
exactly where I want them to go on the pattern. I want
the pattern to stay as simple as it can be, so they just
know where I want them to run. My responsibility is to
put the horse in position, 25 to 30 feet in front of that
barrel, and to be in charge at that point,” he continued.
“But when my leg or saddle gets to the barrel, I want to
66
be able to drop my hand and let the horse be in charge
and turn,” he said. “I want him to let me help him get
in the proper position, but then it’s his job to make the
turn.”
THREE TOOLS
Hyde mentioned three basic tools he uses in pattern
training.
The face, or “the reins in your hands.”
“People rely too much on this as a primary tool,”
he said. “When you are constantly trying to pick up a
shoulder, or move the face, a horse will get dull on you.
I want to drop that hand and let him turn,” he said,
adding that the reins are a tool, however, in helping
position the horse.
The inside foot.
“I want to be able to move the front feet or the
shoulder [over or up, away from the barrel] with my
inside foot, not just the reins,” he explained. “If that
inside shoulder is staying out, then the hip will come
in.”
The outside foot.
“I got some good advice once to quit worrying so
much about the shoulder out, and worry more about
the hip in,” he said. “You can use your outside foot to
push that hip in, so then the shoulder will be out. It was
a big help to me to figure out I had an outside foot to
move that hip in with.”
MAINTENANCE
On arrival at the facility, Hyde sticks to the plan. He
may make an exhibition run the day before, but still
keeps things low pressure, including the warm up. “If
I’m there early, I may trot the pattern or coast through
an exhibition run,” he explained. “I don’t spend a lot
of time warming up, or in the pen either, because I
think if you go in there too slow and give the horse a
chance to see everything he can get scared. If I go in
and coast through a run, before the event, it makes
it more business like for the horse in my opinion,” he
continued. “Before a run, I will just trot a few circles
and go, because I think too much warm-up makes a
horse nervous.”
After an event, Hyde gives his horses time off (a
week to 10 days) with some turnout in big runs or
whatever he can provide; this, along with minimizing
practice runs and “drilling” helps prevent burnout as
well. As for the other major aspects to performance
and maintenance—like feed, supplementation and
hauling, Hyde doesn’t go overboard there either, but
thinks many folks do. “It’s so overwhelming with all the
products out there,” he said. “Sometimes, I think many
of those can be an excuse for training, although I will
say some of them have some benefits. I just prefer to
rely on my training,” he said.
Hyde sticks to feeding alfalfa hay, some whole
oats (if necessary), and uses Platinum Performance
as a supplement. Prior to leaving for a race, he has
each horse checked by the chiropractor, or will do so
if a horse feels “off” during training. As for hauling
considerations, he puts good shavings in the trailer
and stops “as frequently as possible.” And that’s about
it. “I feel like this time of year, futurity horses are still
learning and training and I just want them fit and
feeling good,” Hyde said. “I just keep it simple.”
CONSIDERATIONS
It is worth noting that Hyde said not all horses are
cut out to be futurity horses. He mentioned a filly that
went from “0 to 1D” in nothing flat, but then fizzled.
“She just couldn’t handle it, and it had really looked
promising. She had come along so well. But ultimately,
it just isn’t for some horses. It’s important to recognize
that, like we did with this filly, and to not try to shove
a horse into doing it. Instead, we found her a home
where she didn’t have to keep that schedule and she’s
doing great,” he continued. “Some just get physically
and mentally tired, although sometimes you have to
look at the training too,” he concluded.
The opposite end of the spectrum is the horse that
is just slow to mature and doesn’t graduate to the 1D in
time to compete as a futurity horse. Lots of times those
slower maturing horses grow up and turn into great
open or rodeo horses later on in life.

Do you see yourself the way God sees you?
Man was created in God’s image for great things. There are many benefits being a child of God. Those
benefits help me see what God sees when He looks at me. When God was watching me in my life, before I
received Jesus as my Lord and Savior, never did I feel Him come at me with a whip and chain to punish me.
What I felt from God was a pulling of my heart. A sense of there is something better than what I have going
on now. That was just the beginning.
Today, as I continue to grow, learn, and be developed I realize more of who I am in Christ. I see myself as
loved (John 3:16), forgiven (Psalm 103:3), righteous-sanctified-, redeemed (1 Cor. 1:30), justified (Romans
3:24). I see myself as a precious jewel that God holds as very valuable not as a piece of coal blackened and
without purpose. I see God being patient with my learning curves and smiling on me because He knows my
heart. Though I can do a big piece of stupid from time to time, He is always there to pick me up, dust me off
and get me going again.
God sees you as His precious jewel too. He sees you as His creation and knows your potential. He not only is
interested in your life, He wants to become your Life. Only God can develop you into your best you, because
apart from God you are not complete. There is always hope where God is concerned. He doesn’t treat you as
the world treats you. His thoughts about you are far greater than what you think or don’t think for that matter.
He knocks on your heart and waits for you to say “come in”. At that time a new birth and inward renewal
takes place. God isn’t for taking away what you love in the aspect of your abilities and what gives you
pleasure. What He does is takes the bad in your life and changes it around for your good. He gives you hope
for everyday. He places a new value in you. He shows you the Truth.
I see a seed in every person. That seed is designed to be watered and nurtured so it can grow. God’s desire is
that no one perishes but that everyone comes to the saving grace of His Son and a personal relationship with
Him. He is real and lives today. My prayer is that you see yourself as God sees you.
Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans of good and not for
disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”
