- My Life - Monday, October 02, 2006 Forever now I have lived on a farm and haved had horses and deer!! With the horses we Barrel Race and with the deer we raise them and sell them to NYC resturants. For the past few years my family has been involved with a barrel racing club called BRWNY it stands for Barrel Racers of Western New York. In this club we ride every tuesday night during the summer. There are meny divisons for example the divison I am in is the Amateur divison which means I ride with adults and compeat against better horses. Each night you go you get points for placing in your class and at the end of the year the points are added up to produce the year end awards the are many different prizes. Over this past summer I have earned enough points to win the top prize and receive a Grand Champion Buckle which in past years has been a saddle but with different people there are different prizes. Over the past weekend I was recently at convention in Columbus Ohio. The convention is for all of the best Quarter Horses and riders. They come and compete in a lot of events such as barrel racing, calf roping, pole bending, pleasure, and english. It is BIG and there is tons to see! Although Congress goes on for a couple weeks my father and I really only went for the barrel racing and pole bending but we also saw some of the western pleasure show which is pretty intense. There is a lot of history behind the Quarter Horse Congress like that it is the worlds biggest single-breed show and it brings over 110 million dollars to the local economy(more facts go to http://www.oqha.com/congress/faq.htm)
