Welcome to another episode of I Tell You What. So
you're at the horse track or Canterbury yesterday.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
It was a ton of fun and it was a
beautiful day, which made it even better.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
This is Sam, by the way, not dumbs my guy.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
I know I have a voice like a man and
a name like a man, but I'm actually a woman. Surprise.
So it was out at Canterbury yesterday and it was
a lot of fun because we were shooting some photos
and videos to promote their Battle of the Barrels event
on June twentieth, and they've also got a rodeo out
there as well later on in the summer. But it's
(00:30):
a ton of fun. So they had some barrel racers
out there and we were getting some photos and videos
and it was a good time.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
And the barrels Barrel's Battle.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
No, the barrel racers battle yep. So you've got a
bunch of barrel racers that did you do this with
each other? Yep? And my sister does it right now
in high school rodeo.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Is she going to be a part of that? Can
you do it?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I could, but I haven't been good about keeping my
horses in great shape right now? Yeah, they're a little fat,
they're a little cream pops out in the pasture.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
They put on some of that winter weight.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Yeah, yeah, and I've been Yeah, I don't know, I
haven't really been.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Like they haven't developed any other bad habits, have they
They're not drinking and smoking and stuff?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Are they not?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
That I'm aware of. But you just never know. You
don't have your eyes on them all the time.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Get bored? Man, what's a pack of horses?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I heard?
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I heard.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
I knew that it wasn't coming to me.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
That's okay.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
What is it? A gangle of geese?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I think?
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So?
Speaker 3 (01:26):
What is it with turkeys? A tangle of turkeys?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I don't like that. I don't remember. I remember A
murder of crows?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
What I know?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, I don't like crows much either. I think that's
probably good term.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
I think that when you have guinea pigs, they're also
considered a oh they are they're a heard of guinea pigs.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Thought it'd be a gang again, just thinking of like
a hundred of them.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
So you you are going to do a barrel racing
Battle of the barrels.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So I will be at Battle of the barrels and
I'm going to be it. Yeah, I'll kind of be
just helping with whatever they need and get doing some
social media there. And it's a ton of fun too.
They've got this cool seating set up there where they're
gonna we here on came you are gonna be giving
away VIP seating for these seats that are right along
the railing of the race track right on the ground,
which are super super cool. So you're gonna be like
(02:13):
right there, I mean, a few feet away from people
barrel racing really really pretty much. You might want to
wear some sunglasses to protect your eyeballs, but it's fun to.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Protect your eyeballs. What about your whole face in general?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
That too?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Everything?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Maybe, I mean it probably won't be that close, so
I think you'd be safe.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
But the farway the horses from the you know, from
that front row right there, they wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
They won't be right there. They'll just be close.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
So do they race if it's wet?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yes? Yeah, pretty much?
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Rain or shine, no kidding.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yep, yeah, like rodeos and stuff, it's rain or shine.
They'll only cancel or delay if there's lightning, Okay, like tornadoes, I.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Guess, so that doesn't affect the footing of the I
mean it does.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
It does, Yeah, it does affect the footing. So if
you're at a at a rodeo horse show, or if you're
out at a place like Canterbury, they've got really great footing.
So I think the drainage is really good as long
as they've got a good set up there. Drainage wise,
usually it's not too big of a problem, but you
do have to change how you're running your horses. If
you're barrel racing, if you're steer wrestling, if you're doing anything,
(03:12):
then you just have to be careful because you're not
going to run the same that you do on dry
ground as you do on wet ground.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
So I know the injuries that come and play with rodeo,
and rodeo is all encompassing, but we know a lot
of them. Are you know, people riding bulls, people riding
bronc and that kind of stuff and get can step
down and break and likes. What is it in barrel racing?
What is a common injury?
Speaker 2 (03:31):
There's a lot of things that could happen.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I mean if you rude it with humans, I should
say so with.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Humans, what can happen is if you my sister did
this just recently. Actually, if you run into the barrel,
usually they're metal barrels.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
And those things are metal.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah. At smaller horse shows like gaming shows, there's they're
often plastic, I think. But when you go to some
of these like bigger barrel races rodeos, they're usually metal barrels.
Really yeah, So if they crack their leg on it,
I've done that, I think. I still if you feel
just right on one of my shins, I have like
a bump on the bone from cracking my leg on
(04:04):
it one time.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Oh, you don't wear any shin protection?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Huh No, probably, yeah, yeah, pretty much. And so that's
a that's a big one. And then you're doing in
barrel racing, you're doing these turns so quick at such
a high speed that unfortunately it's it can happen where
your horse could slip off. Yeah, they can slide, they
can fall sometimes, and that you don't see as common.
(04:29):
But then another thing is like if you have i mean,
like any other riding event, if your horse bucks or
does kind of goes a little wild and you just
get tossed off the horse.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
After that, I mean, do you have a conversation, like
when my dog Arran does something bad, I'm like bad dog.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
If you're generally if you're a good horse woman or horseman,
then h then usually you kind of put the blame
on yourself and you just figure, well, I probably should
have handled that differently so that that didn't happen. Yeah,
you usually you don't want to blame the horse too much, so.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Your worst injury. Worst injury is a dang on your
shin hitting a metal metal while barrel racing.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yes, okay, but while I've I used to do a
lot more training and rehabilitating of like of other horses
that needed retraining, and so I've been injured much more
while training horses that were not like finished enough to
barrel race when they're more in like the starting area.
And in that situation, I mean I've broken my back,
I've broken.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
My collar bone. I've broken back.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, I mean it sounds sounds way.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Worse chess like video games.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Well, ever since I med Hawthorne knock on one, I
haven't broken a bone knock on all the one I
know I used to. You knew me, like when I
was at kat Ok and I was working here a
long time ago and I had a lot of Yeah.
I was like a I was like a joke. I'd
be limping around here all the time. I yeah, because
one time I broke my collarbone getting tossed off a horse,
(05:55):
and then six months later I broke the other collarbone.
And then I think the last thing where I really
got hurt was when my horse slipped and fell on
me and he felt I thought he shattered my whole leg.
It felt like he shattered my leg. He's thirteen hundred pounds,
he's huge, and he didn't mean to. He just slipped.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Than the car you gave me.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
That's a piece of crack, probably, And so he told
me when he fell on me, it hurt so bad,
and I went to the er and I was like,
my legs shattered. I was like, there's nothing we can do.
I'm so dramatic. They're like all over me helping me.
I'm freaking out, and then they x ry and all
of a sudden they're like, you're fine, there's nothing wrong.
I had a little fracture and then I also sprained
(06:38):
my ankle.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
I think the nerves down there, man, it's like screaming
bloody murder.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, it was the sprain. I think because I like
sprained my ankle too in the process and the impact
because he did fall on my leg. I don't know
how he didn't break my leg.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Honestly, did you want him to at that point? No?
I mean this was so heroic.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Well I felt pretty lame, Like all the nurses were
so helpful and so just trying to keep everything covered
and keep me happy, and then as soon as they
got the x rays back, they were much more subdued.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Glad everybody heard that, because I deal with her on
a regular basis. Tiny little things that little, tiny little
molehills have become moulted sometimes.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Put this ice pack on it. You're good, No, it's broken,
my bie. I've gotta die.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Chris. What's the last bone that you broke?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
The last phone I broke bone? Nah, I've never broken.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
You've never broken a bone?
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Bone?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Yeah? My like yeah, when I was like five. No,
I'm just tough.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Are you serious? So the last time you broke something
was when you were five?
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Watched today? I watched this sucks. I'm gonna walk out
the door or something. I'm gonna trip and break something
because of this conversation.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
No, I hope not. I hope nobody breaks any bones too.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
No, I don't think I've ever broken a bone. I
have done damage to myself. I've done ligament damage and
all that stuff, and torn rotator cuffs and everything else.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
But I've never broken a bone.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I've been breaking bones since I was a little kid.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I may have broken in my foot, but my dad
told me to buck up, and I was limping for
six months, so idn't think I'll look it. I never
had that X ray, but I mean I was hurting
pretty bad. Yeah, it swallow up pretty something fierce and wrestling.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Man, maybe I need to look more at my childhood.
Why did I get hurt so much?
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Drink more milk? So my dad always said. Thanks for
