TURN THE CORNER
From the Editor:

Rodeo season is running full throttle and rodeo rigs are on the go, especially in Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. Competition is at its peak with Cheyenne, Wyoming going on right now the first go around was on July 20th and all barrel racers ran their first go that day. The second go is split up between slack and the performances. As usual times were tight, out of a hundred and sixty entries the winners of the first go around were only hundredths off of each other.

Sherry Cervi won the first go with a 17.62, Lisa Lockhart was a light flash off for second place with a 17.63 followed by Sydni Blanchhard and Kelli Tolbert both with a 17.68.

There is no room for error, this just shows how competitive our sport has become and how knowledge in training and horsemanship has improved. Our breeding programs show consistency in blood lines that seem to produce consistent winners. Technology has also grown by leaps and bounds and our veterinarians play a big part in better knowing how to keep our horses maintained and running. Next month I will up date you on the National High School Rodeo Finals, and I will bet in a few years you will recognize these barrel racers names in the pro standings.

PRESIDENT PUBLISHER/ PROMOTIONS Paula Fowler Contact Paula I have been a competitive barrel racer and barrel horse trainer for over 25 years. Many of my horses have gone on to compete in the college finals, high school finals and pro ranks. I have been a WPRA member for over 20 years and have visited the pay windows at some of the larger rodeos in the nation including Denver, Cheyenne and Houston. My dream has always been to make training and "professional" knowledge accessible to anyone wanting to, or now competing in the barrel horse world. Turn magazine is designed for women and men that have a fast paced life or anyone who lives in a remote area. Turn Barrel Horse Magazine gives you the opportunity to learn from the pro's at home or on the road. Thank you for joining us at Turn Magazine, it will be a fun, fast ride!
