Barrel Racing Information For The Southwest
It has taken a while to get all 45,000 photos edited but they are all edited. 3 out of the 4 races of the weekend have been uploaded but as you can imagine uploading all of these takes time. The only album to upload is the finals.
They should be done in the next day or so. As you can imagine fulling all the package deals takes time also. I appreciate your patience. Click on the photo below or click on the links to see each race.
Been shooting so many photos I haven't had a chance to post when they are up and ready for purchase. Did two events so far this week. CCOBRA at Marana Heritage on Saturday and Desert Diamond “Terrific Tuesday” in Queen Creek's Horseshoe Park.
CCOBRA Photos can be seen here.
Desert Diamond Barrel Racing
Tuesday was Desert Diamond and you can see the photos here.
All the photos are up from Tuesdays Desert Diamond barrel race from Horseshoe Park in Queen Creek. Like I said in the post before it was a great turnout for a Tuesday afternoon. Over 120 entries and the one time I counted over 50 people in the stands watching. Click here to see and purchase your photos.
Saturday was a beautiful day for a race. The sun was shining and Jim had the arena perfect for the first SABRA race of the year. I just finished putting the photos up. I think this photo of Emily really sums up the day.
There was a lot of great runs and for a while the eventual winner Kelly Robertson almost had the 1D all to herself as her and Mercedes was over a half of second faster than anyone. Her run was awesome to watch. Betsy Nunn eventually broke through that half second lead to finish 2nd.
Our Event Calendar
We have updated our event calendar. Actually Caitlin did a great job on it. To be honest the reason this exist is because I never wrote down when the races were. As you can imagine with my schedule it is easy to get confused. I like to maintain a list for QCBRA, SABRA, and CCOBRA, Missionview, and Desert Diamond barrel races. Mostly because this is where I shoot but anyone can put their event on there. Just fill out the form and I will send it to Caitlin.
Next Event
Two events this week as we finally get the weather to cooperate up in Queen Creek. Tuesdays is Terrific Tuesday series put on by Desert Diamond Barrel Races. It is almost every Tuesday for 8 weeks in the outdoor arena.
Saturday is CCOBRA at Marana Heritage Arena. Pre Entry's are open for this Saturday's' CCOBRA. To enter email your name, horse's name, class entering, and member status to azccobra@aol.com by 6pm on Thursday. If you need a membership form for this year, they are on our website. Hope to see all there.
Please use the same name for your horse on the membership form and when you enter. We don't care if it is a barn name or the registered name as long as it is the same throughout the year. (For point keeping).
This past weekend I did something different and took photos at AJRA. It was a last minute type of thing and I didn't exactly get there for all the events. I did some on Saturday and some on Sunday
