Fast Feet Ends Drought For Lee

By Ted Harbin

WPRA Barrel Racer Tarryn Lee hadn’t won a check for 32 days prior to her win in Estes Park, Colorado in July, where she also set an arena record.

“I didn’t win a check for 32 days. I was on the road and never went home. I knew it was bound to turn around, because I knew I have the horse to do it.

“Everybody was pushing me to stay out here, and I kept going, and it turned around in Estes Park.”

Now she is leading the way at the Dodge City Roundup with a time of 17.28 seconds.
