Well I’m sitting here in Jackson MS at the National Barrel Horse Association Youth World Championships. It is the first day of competition and the weather is great for this time of year. In the middle eighty’s during the day which is not typical I am told. The arena is chock full of kids on horses. It looks like there is about sixty to seventy horses in the arena at all times letting their horses take a look at the pen. No wrecks yet. Since there are eighteen hundred entries I suspect it will be like this until it is time to get the arena ready for the first runs. 

 I have a CSI pad booth set up here for the week. Several people have stopped by already that own one of our pads. How many are not happy with the pad do you think? The number is zero!! It seems that no one can wear them out or find much fault with them. I’m not surprised though, you can’t beat these pads.

In the booth there is a device that is called the Redneck Pressure Tester. A lot of pressure can be applied to sample pads with a curious bystander or potential buyer’s hand under the sample pads. When my contrary postage scale decides to cooperate the amount of pressure can be measured electronically and it then becomes obvious how superior CSI pads are to everything else. I haven’t been able to squish anyone’s hand yet when we put the CSI flex panel over their hand and push unlike the samples. Even when I push really hard, but I keep trying.

It is going to be an interesting week and I’m looking forward to it. I am partial to barrel horses and there are a lot of them here.
