Tuesday Preview: Never over a barrel

Nicole Baggs, 31, Cody, and her McCullough Peaks’ mustang, Dallas, will compete in the National Barrel Horse Association's World Championships next month. Baggs loves her horse and loves barrel racing.

“I don’t think I’ll ever be able to quit,” she said.Nicole Baggs and her McCullough Peaks' mustang Dallas gun it around a barrelIn Baggs’ eyes, it is a team effort, not her superb riding skills that delivered her and Dallas to the championships.

“It’s a huge accomplishment for us,” she said.

For tomorrow's paper (Sept. 23), I tried to write a story that would capture the reader’s interest and thus inspire folks to offer monetary assistance to this terrific team, but I was dissatisfied with my results (Ed. note: the rest of the Tribune likes it). Give me a break by helping this swell lady and her horse get to the World Championships in Georgia.

Baggs is trying to raise money for travel expenses. There is a pig raffle at five bucks a ticket or you could be a sponsor. Give her a call at 307-899-4254.
