“This was my first year to ever go out to Guymon. I qualified back to the nightly performances in 24th or 25th out of about 165 entries. I traded around so I could run in the Saturday night performance and finished with fastest time in my performance. Overall I finished in the top 20 for the 2nd go round and was in the top 15 for the average! During all of this I had to drive back and forth to Stillwater for graduation!” Chelsie was a member of the Oklahoma State University class of 2013 and graduated with a Bachelors degree in Animal Science with an Animal Biotechnology Option.
“ I had a lot of help and support from friends and family to get everywhere I needed to be that weekend and could not have done it with out them! This weekend I will be running at Abbeville, next weekend I will be at Claremore and Poteau, and the following weekend I will run at Hugo and Fort Smith!”
Being at my first BBR finals is very exciting and is redemption from being unable to compete last year. I wish everyone the best of luck and remember that being here is a blessing and regardless of what happens in the arena, it is better than being stuck at home.
Check in was smooth and after getting my girls all numbered we got them settled into stalls. The weather cooperated and my mom had a ball visiting with everyone. I can say after dragging everything to the tack stall, I may have benefited from a flair strip!!! I got to peek at all the vendors and I look forward to doing a little shopping for the horses and myself.
My mare, Kiss My Ashe has a packed week between the open and the futurity. For the first time, she will run twice in one day and with the stress of traveling and environment, she is fortunate to be protected by a Flair strip each and every run. I appreciate her speedy recovery and I also rest easy knowing she is protected from bleeding. One simple step in my run preparation, multitude of benefits. I would encourage everyone to stop by the booth, learn more, and see the difference yourself!
