Well, it ain't the Gun Show, or a Demolition Derby, or a Monster Truck Rally . . . but it does have John Deere in it's name. Now, I won't get your hopes up, it is NOT a Tractor pull, or even a MULE pull, but you're getting warm my friend.
The John Deere Barrel Racing is like the Redneck Cowgirl Olympics. This is not a Rodeo, oh no, there is only ONE event, and it is Barrel Racing. Sorry, no Pole Bending, no Calf Roping, no Goat Tying . . . I hope you like trampy chicks on badass freaked out horses running cloverleaf patterns around three barrels trying to finish clean and finish fast . . . because you will see a LOT of them, over and over and over again. But that is not to say you will be bored, because even though these girls can practice this particular pattern day in and day out with their horses until you would think they could run it in their sleep backwards, you will be amazed by the amount and variety of fuck ups.
You see Redneck Cowgirls that they are . . . they seemed to prefer speed over precision, and accidents do happen. YouTube is full of them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y32JIDeYvbg
How's that fer a link? Someday I'll learn to edit Html . . . Anyway this weekend the John Deere big ole Redneck Cowgirl Barrel Racing Extravaganza is being held at the South Point Equestrian and Event Center. http://www.southpointeventscenter.com/
So if you are in Vegas head on down this weekend to see the Equine version of drag racing. It's free, and even though no one wants to see someone hurt in a big ole nasty wreck, they sure as heck don't want to miss it if it happens!
