Not taking anything away from this shot, what was she thinking about/considering while looking down at the horse at this moment? Horse positioning with barrel? Just wondering...

Pat, she was thinking SPEED and ACURACY. Getting as close as possible without tippin a barrel. She was seeing every movement of the horse in her mind.
I never ran barrels, but I showed horses for years and I saw every step of the performance in my mind before it ever took place. I knew we were going after nothing but the blue ribbon. Out of hundreds of shows, we got the blue every time but 4. Those were 2 seconds, 1 third and 1 fifth. We were blessed.
She has the same look on her face that I always did. Strongly competitive/determined. I can spot that look a mile away.

BUCKEYE...Blue and I just hang out together and ride for pleasure. When I am on his back, I am in my church. I feel very close to Heaven there.
