What a great event!!! Proud to see so many RR Mistakelly’s close to our home state!!
THANK YOU from the Panty Raid Futurity!
Wow — what a WEEKEND! We are still riding high (just kidding we are just now back to feeling alive) from the 14th Annual Panty Raid Futurity at the Champion Center, and we have to take a moment to say THANK YOU to everyone who made it happen. CONGRATS TO ALL THE MONEY EARNERS
Let's talk about those numbers!
Friday — 160 Poles | touching 584 Barrels Saturday — 160 Poles | 660 Barrel runs Sunday — 430 Runs — that’s over 1900 times riders went up that alley to give it their all.
To put that in perspective — we were running 58 horses an hour in barrels and 45-50 in poles. That kind of pace doesn't just happen. It takes a WHOLE team firing on all cylinders.
To our incredible crew of 14 — you are the heartbeat of this show. From the announcers keeping everyone informed 10 horses ahead as to when they were up, to the pole & barrel setters hustling between every run, to the amazing tractor drivers keeping the pattern clean, and a huge shoutout to our office girls who kept the entries and changes going, camping and stalls in line even with tired eyes — we could not do this without you.
And a massive THANK YOU to our amazing sponsors — your generosity is what makes the added money, the awards, and the whole Panty Raid experience possible. This show simply would not happen without you standing behind us, and we appreciate every single one of you more than words can say.
And to our contestants — THANK YOU for being up, ready, and rolling every single time we called your name. Your hustle made our hustle possible. A show only moves as fast as the riders showing up in the alley, and y'all brought it! WITHOUT Gate Check in YOU ROCK
Now, no show goes off without a couple little snafus — that's just the nature of the game. But here's your friendly reminder: the BEST way to handle any situation is to come on into the office, walk up to the window, and talk face to face with someone who can actually help you. That way if you are unaware of a situation we can handle it. This is what grown adults do and you will find if we knew about the situation most likely it s already handled as it was at the Panty Raid. That's Horse Show Office Etiquette 101, folks. A little kindness and a real conversation goes a whole lot further than anything else.
It takes every single one of us pulling together to put on a show like this, and we are so grateful for each and every person who was part of Panty Raid 2026. Because of all of you the Panty Raid 2026 will pay out over $150,000.00 in winnings.
Now let's rest up — because the 15th Annual Best of the Best is just around the corner!
