Charlene Kinley had her barrel horse stolen from the barn while attending the NBHA World Show Friday, November 6th in Augusta, GA. Kinley resides in PA and needs a lot of help with the internet and posting flyers etc.  She is devastated by her loss as she has raised this horse from birth.  It was taken out of it stall at the showgrounds late Friday night.  There was another horse stolen at the same time from Greg Vaughn of Mississippi.   The NBHA is very upset by the matter and is vowing to bring the criminals to justice.  NBHA Executive Director Rick Sykes is asking barrel racers nation-wide to unite and bring these two horses back to their rightful owners.
