PLEASE TAG ALL OTHERS...

Goodmorning to all our barrel series members and all the other competitors that came out.
You all endured the heat with us showed up & showed out with amazing runs and times.
We faced challenges personally and professionally but you all showed grace and patience working with us. So many of you have become friends to all of us here and for that were grateful. My goal in starting these races wasn't to make them big or to make it all about the money.
Believe me when I say it cost alot more than we bring in most of the time.
We try to give everyone a relaxed fun family atmosphere where the youngest new riders to the seasoned experienced riders enjoy coming out.
Yes its a competition but I want to think its not one of pressure stress to have to do your best every time and feel less if you dont.
Were constantly working on the ground to make it as safe as we know how.
Are we perfect no, are we still learning absolutely, but I do hope those of you who've been with us can see our efforts.

I wasn't sure if we'd have another series or races but so many say they enjoy coming out so we will be having another series.
Question for you members is ..spring series with pop up jackpots in the summer , summer series as in the past 4 yrs or fall series with pop up jackpots winter spring .
Id like to hear your thoughts ill take them into consideration when trying to work the calendar.
Keep in mind we @ TQH also attend shows ourselves so that has to be taken into consideration.
Were also working on our obstacle course and ranch roping riding events for next year.

Vote 1 for Spring series
Vote 2 for Summer Series
Vote 3 for Fall Series

We will take everything into consideration and make our decision soon with dates to follow.
