Charmayne James on Barrel Racing

Her record speaks volumes.  She's the all-time leading money earner in the sport--the first-ever million-dollar earner.  She's won the most professional barrel racing world championships (11) and was the first Women's Professional Rodeo Association member to earn the coveted #1 back number in the National Finals Rodeo.  She holds the record for most consecutive NFR qualifications (19) for men or women, and she's won more individual world championships that any other woman in professional sports.  She's also listed in the Guinness Book of World Records.

In her book, Charmayne James shares the training techniques and philosophy that made her the most successful barrel racer in history.  Also, included are vignettes of horses and riders that illustrate Charmayne's approach to identifying and correcting problems in barrel racing, as well as examples and experiences from over 20 years as a world-class competitor in this exciting event.
