Rolling your times:

In order to accommodate making multiple runs on horses in a short period we have collectively decided to offer our barrel racers the following option:

Enter the spring thaw over flow Friday at 12pm or 1pm and roll your time to the Friday Barrels for buckles. Or enter the Friday Barrels for Buckles and roll your time to the Cinch Spring Thaw Timed Event. We will not allow Saturday 8am Cinch Spring Thaw Timed Event runs to roll back to the Barrel  for Buckles.  You must roll within your category meaning open to open youth to youth.
To roll you must enter both events online and email ponokaspringthaw@gmail.com by Sunday March 14 2025 to let them know you will be rolling your time.
