I found this great video on Dash For Cash. He really is a legend in the barrel racing and race horse world. So many great horses go back to Dash For Cash. His sons, daughters, and now grand get are becoming legends themselves.
Sit back and watch this great footage of the big ole guy.

Resizing your horse for sale pictures
Have you ever wondered how to easily crop and re size your barrel horses pictures? Or how about take the silly looking guy holding your prospect out of your picture. Maybe you were too far away when you took your picture and you want to crop it closer. Scanners and digital cameras these days take pictures at really large file sizes. This can make sending your pictures and viewing them a real pain in the butt.
Here is a link to some free software I use every day here at RodeoClassifieds.com. It is called Irfanview (click the word when you are ready to go to the site). It really is free, it is small and quick to download and install. It doesn't come with much for instructions so I made this quick video on how to crop and how to re size pictures.
I hope that this will help you out when you are sending ads in to RodeoClassifieds or when you are sending a bunch of pictures of your horses or trailers for sale to potential customers. You should crop all the extra stuff out of your pictures and also send them at a nice size for viewing, but also a size that will send and download quickly.
Here is the video, you'll see just how easy it is. It is me, on my computer, just for you! It has volume with me speaking, so you might have to adjust your volume....you really don't want to hear my voice blaring :o)
Be sure to sign up for our newsletter, our next newsletter will talk about buying and selling in the winter. We have so many nice horses for sale right now, check out the classifieds. If you are looking for a new trailer this season, the selection has never been better.

Get Mentally Tough For Rodeo and Barrel Racing
A couple years ago I purchased some old barrel racing magazines off ebay ("Turn" maganzine I believe they are called...or possibly the other but that's beside my point).
In each issue there was a short article by
Dr. Patrick Cohn a "Master Mental Game Coach". " I thought the short articles were fantastic and tracked him down online. His website and training tools are excellent.
The topics are not rodeo or barrel racing specific but it isn't hard to think in those terms and relate his tips to your situation.
If you long to improve your times this year I highly recommend spending some time to improve your mental game. I am so glad I did. I was really a puddle before I started to get control of my emotions. lol... Something I like to remind myself is: If you can't control yourself, how do you expect to control your horse?
If you are a parent of an up and coming rodeo star, I highly recommend the section for parents and how to help your kids be the best they can.
The products are excellent and the members area offers piles or audio and articles.
If nothing else, sign up for Dr. Cohn's free newsletter and get the free e-book. The newsletters are full of tips and give you lots to think about.

We shall remember 2007 a year of broken records! Record earnings, record championships and of course...the record loonie!
2008 is upon us and it is time to make plans for the season. What are your goals, your dreams and aspirations? You can only achieve what you think is possible, so don't hold back.
Here is a link to an interview with the 2007 World Champion Heeler Walt Woodard.
Podcast from TalkRodeo
Good for Walt for giving credit to his wife and for telling the world how he takes naps to stay primed.
