Ah, Winter in Arizona and the AW4D Winter Blast December 11 at Buckeye Equestrian Center was no different. Both races were sanctioned with American West 4D. All day the weather cooperated and we were able to run this double header race off without a hitch. Option One, enter both races (one at 10 am and one at 2 pm) then carry your time from the first race to the second. Option Two, enter both races and run both races. Could work for you and could work against you but everyone had the same choice! Sixty-two riders braved the average and 288 times were recorded for Open, Youth, Senior and Pee Wee.
We’re looking forward to seeing everyone during Arizona’s Winter/Spring Barrel Racing Season at all the NBHA/AW4D races. Watch for locations by email, on the Internet and in publications.
Congratulations to all the winners:
