Please explain...is this a rather tall fire hoop? Just curious for an expert's comment.

Interesting wardrobe.

Barnster, In the day, a tall hoop was sometimes used with a short jumping distance, for a single animal. Tall hoop, short distance tended to make the jump slower and more calculating. When pushing multitudes of animals through the hoop, they need to move quickly, and get out of the way. Shorter hoop's and longer distance will facilitate this. Just my opinion. Wade Burck

Wade, that makes so much sense, thanks for the explanation. The tall hoop does seem more dramatic.

Have you noticed how calm and mellow I am since I resumed my medication?

I'm waiting till after Labor Day and then I will tear a few personages who are habitually damaging the industry. They know who they are. Details on the late news.

Barnmeister, I didn't realize you were back on the med's. I just assumed you had learned that in this industry, if you complement one person, you piss three off, and didn't want the heat.
