Seems like a no brainer right?
But I see a lot of people struggle with riding their horse up the pen to the second barrel.
What does that mean?
When you leave the first barrel you pick your horse up and ride them up the arena away from the second barrel instead of in a straight line right to your point to start your turn.
When you pick your horse up across the pen you are killing their momentum and a lot of times asking them to shoulder in and anticipate the turn. Not to mention all the extra ground you are covering by riding so wide into your second barrel. It’s natural to want to ride up the pen, I struggle with this all the time. But if you can pick a spot when you leave the first barrel and run straight to that spot you will be surprised how much more efficient your second barrel turn is and how much time it will save you.

Thursday thoughts ✨

Are you approaching each day with an attitude of humility and gratitude? How many little girls (really people in general) never even get to pet a horse, much less ride, own, & haul all over to shows? We are SO fortunate, lucky, blessed - whatever you want to label it- to get the chance to do what we love on whatever scale we are capable of. Whether you’re a hobby rider enjoying the local jackpots or a pro out on the rodeo/futurity trail, what a life we live.

Don’t forget to pet your horse & enjoy the small moments that make this life worth living 🤍

Monday Inspiration!!! 🩵🩵🩵

I still get nervous every time I run, can you relate?

I get nervous because I have high expectations for myself but in this sport there’s always an unknown factor, will my horse try to dive into a turn and knock a barrel? Will she run past a barrel? Those are the things that get me anxious.

So I try to stop my anxious thoughts and think this instead: I might not be able to control everything but I CAN control my body and how I ride. I CAN make sure I’m sitting correct I CAN make sure I’m using my leg, I CAN make sure I look to my spots.

Everything else is out of my control and there’s no need to worry over things you can’t control! If I ride good and correct that will be a win for me.
