Ogden Pioneer Days Foundation

Did you know the sport of barrel racing is almost 100 years old? First introduced in rodeos starting in the 1930s, this women-only event is one of our crowd favorites at #OPD 🤠 But there’s a lot more to #barrelracing than meets the eye! Every single detail can be make-or-break for a cowgirl’s run, from her horse to her saddle to the quality of dirt in the arena. 🏇 The goal is seemingly simple - navigate a cloverleaf pattern ☘️ around three barrels as quickly as possible without knocking any over. But the execution requires laser-sharp focus, lightning-fast reflexes, and a deep understanding of how her horse will respond to every cue. The margin for error is incredibly slim—often the winner takes it by one second or less! What makes barrel racing so captivating to watch is seeing these cowgirls’ raw athleticism on display. And the adrenaline rush when they fly across that finish line—there's truly nothing else like it in the world of rodeo!! 🐎 🐎 🐎 #OgdenPioneerDaysRodeo #WPRAProRodeo #LongLiveCowgirls #BarrelRacers #ProBarrelRacer

A little horse knowledge for our new #rodesfans. Did you know the standard measurement for finding a horse’s height is a hand? One “hand” is 4 inches long. This is what people mean when they say a horse is “16 hands tall!” #FunFactFriday #OgdenPioneerDays #HorseTrivia #BuckingBronco #OPD

Today we’d like to express our endless gratitude for our #OPD 2024 Medical Sponsor, Intermountain Health McKay-Dee Hospital.
