Welcome to the Rundown! Your Monday morning rundown of the latest happenings in barrel racing.

This week's Rundown is brought to our listeners thanks to the supporters of Women in Rodeo Month - Resistol, R. Watson Boots, and Mane 'n Tail Equine!

With the end of the 2024 season upon us, we got the notice that the nominations were due for the Horse of the Year awards for the WPRA. We decided to call a few of the cowgirls that have rodeoed against the best of the best all year to get their insight on what they feel earns a horse this title. No matter who wins, one thing is apparent and that's the fact that each and every girl has such a high respect for these equine athletes and that the level of talent and athleticism in the top horses going down the road raises the bar each and every year. We are huge fans of all of these horses and cowgirls!

Our industry is made up of many people that specialize in different avenues of barrel racing to make our whole industry better. However, there are some people like Helen Nowosad that seem to dabble in every aspect - and are successful at it all! From growing up around horses to breeding and raising her own, competing at the highest levels in Canada and now Texas, owning and standing her own stallion and being a founder of the Breeders Elite Incentive - Helen has dedicated her life to improving not only her own herd of barrel horses, but giving the rest of us opportunities to improve ours as well. Conversations like this that cover so many bases of our industry are so much fun to have - and we hope you enjoy it as well!
