My Mane Attraction 2025 horse, Leela getting a little lope through. What a stride she’s got!
This is her 5th(?) ride, and her 3rd ride out of the round pen. I took the time to build confidence with her with tons of trotting and an intro to turning.
And today was the day I felt she could handle a little more forward movement, maybe after a little drinky drink in case I needed a soft landing 😝.
I don’t think I’ll ever have an issue with her going forward! What a gem she’s been, progress is being made!

LEELA - The Mane Attraction 2025
I slowed down on my posts with her as we took a step back to focus on the “boring” things people might call. I took the time to get ahold of her mind and the way she thinks and processes, and the end goal to be able to do this. The first ride!
This isn’t my ideal first ride, I like a loose horse W/T and/or lope, but for how big of a thinker Leela is, I took it with ease, and wanted her to have a great experience.
Some might know and some not, but I was gone in MT for 8 days this last week and she sat in a pasture for those days. Today was our second day back after that whole week off and I can only tell you the good, because there’s only good for me to share! What a fine young filly she is growing into.
Make sure you stop by Cook Feed & Outdoor for your New Year’s resolution, they are the way to go for all your feed and care needs.
Thank you Cross Creek Horse Training LLC for the help leading this girl around! Loved my uneventful Pony ride. ☺️
Thank you Christopher & Tyler for the vids, I love when I get different angles on my mighty steeds!
And thank you everyone for the outpouring support, always! Happy New Year!
Axl Man done did a good one today at the PRUC Benefit Barrel Race 2024.
We haven’t been very consistent with showing up to races, but I can’t complain about how he can make a clean run with just ranch riding in between. Love my guy ❤️
2025 I take this game seriously! lol!
She bumps into me, I bump Leela back and she gives to that sort of pressure. We had a hard session the other day about boundaries on her good side so I thought I’d change it up and see if it did any good.
Well, it looks like it did do plenty good!
On a side note, I have to praise Axl for his bridle-less moves. I am more than impressed and so proud of his training / ability. He’s my #1, and I don’t think I could ever sell this barrel horse of mine!
Leela is on Bluebonnet Horseman’s elite from Cook Feed & Outdoor, as are the rest of my training horses. Plus all day hay and a bit an alfalfa to top it off!
The Mane Attraction 2025 here we come!
First ride on ol Cody, remember when I said stay tuned?? Well he is on a first ride! What a good minded little bugger.
Moose Caboose has come a LONG wait since he came to me in May! So glad Kaiann Buchanan could make the trek from her work place to get to swing a leg over her big boy to get the feel of a new and improved speed pony!

Wrapping up jackpot season with a good run after some first barrel hiccups the past million runs LOL.
I think we’ve finally got that one figured out! Didn’t run hard at all, I just wanted a clean first barrel with no random diving 3 times before we even got there. Although, I did knock first coming out of it (totally did that on purpose 🫢) as I just felt the need to kick it right over, it was 10x better!
Super happy with the outcome, he’s looking fabulous 💅
Here’s to rodeo season!

I’ve been MIA with updates so here is another- my 6 year old gelding from NV! No name yet, but I kinda want to name him Scooter as he’s had some moments from Scootin’ away from me before 🫢
Getting somewhere! I want to insure he is progressing with the most positive outcomes!
I think this is the hardest I’ve ever ridden him!! I am so so thankful, thank you Christa, Jen, and Sarah! CN Be So Fanous and I making a return!!
