A happy barrel horse who loves his/her job is my passion. I enjoy running Futurity c**ts and watching them progress in their training. I do however do tune-ups and fix older horses as well. I sell a few nice prospects and some finished horses every year. Finding the perfect rider for the horse I have for sale is always my goal. I also do represent customer horses and help them with selling theirs and finding them their new homes.

Hot Judge By Design showed up again for me! All I prayed for before we ran was to be safe and stay upright. That’s kinda always my prayer.
He ran so fast!!
He was first at McCrossans Boys Ranch Extreme Event Challenge Rodeo by .3 tenths.
Thanks for the ride Foreman!

Hot Judge By Design was ready to put in some work yesterday. He laid down a run and was second out of 250+ runners in Lincoln NE.

Truth!

Truth!

A lesson once a week won’t change your riding.

Applying that lesson the other six days might.

As a trainer, my job is to explain, demonstrate, and help riders understand what needs to change. But the riders who make the biggest improvements are almost always the ones who go home and intentionally work on those things ride after ride.

Not once.
Not twice.
Not until it gets frustrating.

Until it becomes a habit.

The truth is that progress is usually built through repetition. The lesson points you in the right direction, but the consistency afterward is what creates results.

What skill took you the longest to turn from something you had to think about into something that became second nature?

I have some horses going home! I will have an opening this summer to start your c**t on the pattern, or season one for you! Lots of references, horses are well fed, and cared for like they are my own.

Congrats Savannah Lyon for 4th today at the HS region rodeo in Winner. Spinnin Cookies was working great for her. I got to run her at a couple jackpots and have been helping Savannah, so I’m cheering from afar. Great job today!!

She’s A Sweet Bully. Scarlett decided it was time to take the training wheels off. This little mare has been my 4D work in progress lol. She won the Futurity side pot and was 4th in the 2D in a tough slot race. Even with a big slip behind first barrel this gritty little mare clocked well. Good girl Miss Scarlett.
