This blanket ladder was made for me using wood off the barn that was destroyed in the tornado 12/15/21. I decided to have some fun and show off some my newer tack that I received as gifts or stuff I haven't gotten out the barn yet.

So exited for 2022. There are a lot of things happening that are not publicly known at all and I will be sharing the news as it comes to fruition. I don't want to jinx anything my sharing "the plan"...

If you are a barrel racer do you only ride on the barrel pattern? No! There are so many things you can learn from other disciplines and riding styles. When I was competing professionally I competed for the All Around Titles. I rode broncs, bulls, tied goats, roped, and more. However, even outside of that I was always looking for ways to learn. I admired cutting trainers for the athleticism their horses had and their ability to turn on a dime. So I rode these horses to learn from them.

If you want to be a barrel racer learn to soak up knowledge from everywhere. Each riding discipline has something to teach you! Knowledge surrounds us, learn from it and then apply it to your discipline.

"Until you can walk, trot, canter AND gallop on a loose rein with direction and purpose collection is a JOKE. It's not collection, it's containment for an insecure rider. Containment and paranoia. It's pulling and holding and you're just calling it collection to sound noble." -Buck.
