She's glad she did. Jones won the brand-new event with a total time of 30.675 seconds, $15,000 and a $20,000 Bloomer horse trailer. She and Andrea Cline-Herron had both decided to enter so they could make the 1,500 mile drive together, share the expenses and the workload. The morning of the barrel race, Cline-Herron went out to feed and discovered her horse had a swollen knee, so she wouldn't be able to compete.
