You might be a Barrel Racer If:

You have more bits than your city counterpart has shoes.

You think black and blue is a normal color for your shins.

You go to town in your little run-about, and freak out because you don't see the trailer in your rear-view mirror.

Your horse has a chiropractor, massage therapist, psychic, sports medicine specialist, nutririonist, equine body balancer, and a pedicurist, and you don't even have a family doctor.

You can write out a $200 check to any of the above without blinking an eye.

You spend more time living in your horse trailer than your house.

Your idea of a perfect holiday is spending it at a clinic or a barrel race.

You've ever been hung over in the morning from tractor fumes.

You've ever been on your horse at 4:30 in the morning after 20 minutes of sleep, because you drew #871, but you're happy because you got the top of the ground...

You have ever wakened in the middle of the night scared because you dreamed you just missed your run

Your truck cost 30,000, trailer cost 70,000, horse cost 40,000 and ya bit%$ and gripe cuz the entry fee is 50.00 with a 10.00 late fee

You consider the NBHA world show your family reunion.

You hit the tack store, feed mill, vet supply more often than you hit the mall. Or if you have ever gotten up in the middle of the night to make sure you latched a stall door because you woke up from a dead sleep wondering if you did.

You are out with friends and reach in the pocket of one of your "good" coats and find horse treats in the pocket!

Speaking of barrel racers, I overheard some guys talking about a rich guy that bought his high school daughter a horse for $385,000. I might be all wet, but he said 385, and I doubt he meant three hundred and eighty five bucks. The guy runs a casino. Have you heard about that? (NT) -- Hap, 19:57:34 03/25/06 Sat
- I bet if you search the barrel racing boards, you can find out in a hurry.... maybe better put rose on the trail of that one Hap. Glad to see the horse market is still strong. (NT) -- Varmit, 23:24:07 03/25/06 Sat
  - The horse market Sux-- It's only the horses that you want but don't have that cost a lot. We just gave away a BIG American Warmblood mare that was given to us. I had a $300.00 offer for her from a horse trader pal of mine. At the buckin' sale it took a pretty good bucker to bring over $500.00 but a real good bucker would bring over $1,000.00.
