Barb Stocking is an awesome photographer and REALTOR and we are thrilled that she is donating her services...thank you Barb!
Our first $100 WCBRA race of the season was a success! We had 20 riders in the open and several riders that came and worked the pattern and made exhibition runs, thank you to all! We were thrilled to host the race and really need to give a big thank you to everyone involved in working the arena for us...it wasn’t perfect, but we are trying VERY hard to make it GREAT! Thank you to Pete DeGracia, Robert Rosenberger, Jimmy Briggs, Rocky Merrick, Dianna Malley, Ellen Carr, Bev Hampton and my husband, Jason.
I would like to thank a few people who didn’t ride but came out to work. Anna Hernandez worked the gate all evening long, Karen Bidou, Jimmy Briggs and Bev Hampton announced and wrote times, Nancy Davis came and helped in the office, Ellen Carr set barrels and Barb Stocking shot some AMAZING photos and has offered a heck of a deal on purchasing them with the $$$ going toward more added $$$ at upcoming races (click here for details).
Congratulations to Diane Williamson, she made 2 awesome runs are her great horses but tipped a barrel on her main mount, Whiskey, but came in at rider #19 to set the fastest time on her back up mount, Breezey, congratulations! 1st place in the 2D went to Brayden Merrick and his good mare Dixie. The 3D was won by Shawn Hayes and the 4D was won by Amanda Copp, congratulations to all!
Thank you to everyone that came and rode, worked and supported our race, we love to produce these races and appreciate the support from our local riders and members.
If you would like to become more active in Circle D Horsemen we meet the 2nd Wednesday of every month at the Club House at 7pm, we would love to see you!

May 15th was another successful $100 Added WCBRA Race at Circle D Horsemen. Even though we only had 13 entered in the open we had a GREAT night! Congratulations to Danielle McCants and her nice horse Snappy Mate, they took first in the 1D with a beautiful run! Diane Williamson was 1st in the 2D on Breeze, Emily Bidou took 1st in the 3D on Rainee and Rocky Merrick and Bebe took 1st in the 4D, congratulations to everyone!
I would like to thank Robert Rosenberger for prepping the arena for us by watering and tractoring, it is greatly appreciated! Thank you to my husband, Jason, for driving the tractor at the race. Thank you to Timmi Lemen and Marline Mortensen for working the gate, Laura Curtis, Karen Bidou and Nancy Davis for writing times and announcing. Thank you to Emily and her friends for helping me set up the barrel course (by the way, the course was a standard pattern with only a 45 foot score rather than the standard 60 foot).
Thank you to the very nice gentlemen who set the second barrel...several times, a lot of us hit barrels. Thank you to Jimmy Briggs for jumping in and helping set barrels as well. Thank you to Sara Allard for picking up pizza and working our snack bar, I know my family appreciated having dinner! Thank you to Barb Stocking for helping with the computer and taking entries.
HUGE thanks to Barb Stocking, she once again shot everyone's photo and they are posted online for your viewing and purchasing, she is once again going to donate the $10 to Circle D and add it to our next race...so check out your photos and purchase them!
