This past fall we decided to branch out and compete in the National Little Britches in our area which are Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, and Colorado. I qualified in barrel racing and pole bending to compete in Guthrie, OK this summer. My goal is to have 2 solid runs in barrels and poles, and to make the short go. My horses are solid, and the average is where we succeed. I also competed in my first Vegas Tuffest Qualifier in April, and I am now qualified in barrel racing to go to Las Vegas in December.

 

 

My goals for this year are a little different than previous years because I want to go to some larger events and challenge myself and to push through the pains of struggling. One of the goals was to qualify for the Vegas Tuffest which I accomplished already. I would like to compete at the All In Barrel Race while in Vegas too. Another one of my goals is to start jumping. I ride English at home while exercising horses and I started taking English riding lessons to improve my groundwork skills so I can jump. I am sure that my goals will change or grow as the year progresses.
I started feeding Rocky Mountain Girls Hemp products after a good friend of my mom’s (Jessi Miller) gave us the pellets to try on my barrel horse. From there they have become a supplement we will not go without because of the benefits we have seen in my horses. From helping my mare that has a cyst on her navicular bone to aiding my barrel horse to feel his best. We have always fed the pellets/cubes until recently talking with Misty and Dawn, we can give them the MtnMan CBD (It’s Golden). The ease of taking a small bottle that contains all the benefits of the cubes is helpful when hauling.
My favorite quote is “A winner is a dreamer that never gives up!”
