Dear WBR
I just wanted to tell ya’ll how much I love coming to your events! Two years ago I was thinking about getting back into barrel racing after a long break from the sport I loved, I saw an ad for the Barrelnanza finals in a magazine and I decided to go and watch! I was sitting in the stands watching and I wanted to be a part of it so bad. I told my mother in law “next year I am going to ride in this” sure enough I rode at the finals the very next year, and will be attending this year! You have made this sport grow by allowing non-pro people like me the opportunity to compete and win Money! Thank you all so much for everything you do to make this awesome sport prosper even in a declining economy!
I look forward to all the events planned for this years finals and can not wait to get there. See ya’ll on Novemeber 18th!!!

Dear Bobby Barter,
I finally got a picture taken and just wanted to express my thanks for all you and your team do. I was tottally blown away by your phone call Sunday afternoon. That is the best phone call I think I've received except for when I got a call that my grandson was on his way into this world!! I like the family atmosphere and al the extra things you have going on at all of your shows. Thanks again for all that you do. Hope to meet you in person in November.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE $20,000!!!!!

I want to give a great big hug to all of you that came to my aid on Sunday night when I fell off and got kicked in the head during my run.That was my second run on my new horse. Nervous girl nervous horse. I am fine after we got back I went to my doctor and neurologist and so far so good I can't ride for two weeks.
My mother said everyone was very nice to my grandma and younger sister while I was hurt and everyone asked how I was. I will be ready for the finals. My mother said Your races are the most professionally run events, that is why we go. Thanks again to all for your fast actions.
Sincerely;
Dallas Hammonds

Dear World Barrel Racing Staff,
This is Paul Humphrey, I attended my 1st WBR Show this past wk end at Waco.
I'm usually training in Italy, this time of the year, But I'm getting
horses ready for the futurity s, So I finally got to attend one of your
shows. I have been all over the world competing and your shows are the best
by far. Your staff is so professional and every-things is ran the smoothest
Ive ever seen. Thank You for making Barrel Racing a #1 Sport.

The Waco race was great and lots of fun! However, I'm disappointed that the live stream went down before you finished awarding prizes. I watched the race until the end and saw that I had a chance to win - or at least be at the top - of 4D. The live stream went down after the truck was awarded and before the ties were settled and saddles awarded.
Also, I have an idea for you. I don't know if the math will work out right, but it might be interesting to offer contestants "insurance" for protection against having to split their prize money. For a fee, a contestant would guarantee themselves to not have to split the money if they tie with someone in a payout situation. Of course, it would only apply to the cash payouts and not the saddles, buckles and trucks - or the big cash giveaways. Just a thought for you to consider...
Thanks again, for the thrills and great memories. I can't wait to hear how my 16.612 ended up!!
Best Regards,
