Barrels?
Ok so this doesn't have anything to do with trucks, but I thought that some of ya'll may b able to help me out. I am looking for barrels to practice with (barrel racing). Right now, the place I am keeping my horse focuses on jumpers and so I have been using jump stands for practice. Intercolliegate rodeo season is starting up and this is just not gonna cut it. So if anyone knows where I can find barrels for a decent price, please let me know!!!! I am desperate and the price for the fancy new ones you can get out of the magazines is a little too much for my starving college student budget. Thanks!

Check Tractor Supply. I believe they have 55 gallon drums for sale in both metal and plastic....and they're right down the road from you at Texas Ave. and 2818....across from Albertson's by Putt-Putt. The Farmer's Coop over in Bryan might be able to help you out too.

Re:Barrels?
Before I retired from our local newspaper in '96, we had to BEG folks to come take away the 50 gallon barrels we used in our plant - they originally held mild, non-harmful chemicals not unlike soap - and we had some of THOSE too... These were plasic barrels, and should be idea for your use - I still have a half-dozen here that eventually will probably be cut in half for planters...<br><br>Give the local newspaper a try.

Re:Barrels?
There is a place not far from you, in Milano, that allways has barrels for sale. Right on the main drag, going towards Rockdale. <br><br>Get the plastic ones, and wear the shin guards. After a few years the barrels will be tough on the knees.<br>
