On The Road Again

First Barrel Race of 2010!!!

It's barrel race time! My first road trip in quite sometime. Ski season has been extended an extra week here in Park City because of all the incredible snow we have received this past week. However ski season or not, the Shaw's will be in Salina this week preparing for the big event located at the beautiful Blackhawk Arena.

I am extremely excited to see and visit my family, our store and team as well as all my barrel racing friends!!! We produce and promote 4 barrel races per year and conclude with a huge finals in August, this year some lucky person will win a $70,000living quarter Lakota horse trailer.

Our whole family will be together individually working on projects to insure the success of this wonderful event. Destiny spear heads all the logistics of making the event happen, working for months getting all the details in place, she is the glue!

Tegan will travel to Salina Thursday, she will be giving Acu-Scope and Myo-Pulse treatments for horses and humans, Tegan along with Destiny run our Energy Medicine business, Harmonic Health. (Call her for an appointment, they are filling fast. Tegan's number is 1-435-201-0169. Both you and your horse will feel and perform better.

Braydan and the great Salina Burns Saddlery Team have painted, spruced up, and will showcase all the new spectacular merchandise for horse and rider, with a selection that is TRULY INCREDIBLE!

Scott heads to Salina on Tuesday to help Dru and Wayland work and prepare the ground so it will be in perfect condition for the barrel racers.

Grandpa Wayland contributes as the leading expert in ground preparation, he has worked the Blackhawk Arena ground since it's ribbon cutting in 1992.

4th Generation Ground Man, Rylan Crane, (the perfect Grandson), at age 8, has 8 years experience working barrel races. His legs are almost long enough to drive the big tractors, he has been driving the small tractor at the farm for over a year.


I will head south on Thursday help put together the awards and event programs, visit everyone I have not seen in months and do what I do best, TALK!! (I am the announcer for the event).


Our HEI team President Bob Maxwell will travel from Nevada bringing great guys to help out with overall details, the rest of the loyal experienced team will come together to serve as needed, making the Xtreme Barrel racing events, FUN, FUN, FUN!

Thanks to all who attend from 10 surrounding states, you make this one of the top barrel series anywhere!! It takes everyone to make it the OUTSTANDING SUCCESS it is!!

See you in Salina,

Danna
