Louray and his “Chelsie Choo Choo” 🚂💕
Blessed to have Family supporting Family. So proud of our circle this wk-end. Always eager to extend the perimeters, and help whomever we can.
Thank you Chelsie Rae Glidden and Mema Debra Gowdy Glidden and miss Kelly Sargent Jennings for helping w/Louray so I could help our girls.
“Blackout”.
We’ve all heard this term before.
I attended several clinics in my youth, and some of the most impactful were the Josey Clinics. One of the sermons Martha gave us herself was about the “Vacuum Tunnel”. How, for some, our nerves can completely consume our minds to the point of nearly wiping out our consciousness as we go down the ally and enter the arena….as if the ally itself is a literal vacuum. A brain vacuum if you will. Nerves, ally, vacuum—blackout. We know what to do before our run, but through the ally, it all completely disappears. This, is what I and others refer to as a blackout. Maybe it was her speech, my age, and the perfect timing in my life that set in and imprinted on me to gain control of my nerves from an early age, or maybe it’s owed to experience, and time. I’d like to think it’s both.
Another helpful tip I’ve heard and learned along the way, is something along the lines of, “As long as you do your Homework, there is no reason to blackout”. It’s like taking a test at school: if you studied for the test, you’re not too nervous, and you feel prepared. You know the answers because you studied for them. You taught and trained your mind to know. You educated yourself. You did your homework. This applies so well in the saddle—especially in competition. Time spent in the saddle is homework. Time spent with and around your horses, is studying. Time spent practicing is training—not only your horse, but yourself. The more time you spend preparing, prepares you for the competition—for the “test”. The more time you spend preparing, prepares you for the ally, for the pressure, for the noise, for the vacuum we all have to endure. If you’re struggling with the “blackout”, you might not be spending enough time in the saddle, enough time in the practice pen/field/paddock/pasture—whatever it is you have access to. Get in the saddle and get to work. Not only is it physical, but it’s mental. Find a routine that works for YOU. Get up early, get around, get your gear ready AHEAD of schedule. Prepare days in advance. Have all things ready to go so when the day and time comes for competition—you’re ready.
Good luck! Be blessed, have fun, and always enjoy the ride 🐎✨

Central OK people:
can you believe this summer RAIN?? What an incredible blessing!
🙌🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼
In search of the perfect horse. 15 yo and under. Budget is currently at $12k. Needs to be correct on the pattern, whether already entering or not. That means no diving, and no sight seeing please 🫶🏼🫶🏼. No navicular, kissing spine, pssm, or Lasix. Any other maintenance is expected and ok, just be upfront so we can treat accordingly 😊. Looking for my mom. She’s a very experienced rider. Smooth is important. Our horses live their best life. Turnout is essential w/us and easy to catch is also key. I know what I’m looking for is a unicorn. I know they’re out there 🙏🏼. If you have something, please send me age and barrel videos via messenger or straight to my phone, (405) 816-9852. If you know someone who has something, info. would be much appreciated and I will make contact. The closer to central Oklahoma, the better, however we are serious buyers and willing to travel for the right horse.
Pic for attention so this post doesn’t get lost in the mix ♥️.
Yearling C**t by Epic Leader o/o (FGC x Joy Bright Eyes: Lady Bugs Moon, Fols Native).
This dude is so confident and cool. He catches himself and is always up for attention. Currently learning how to bathe and load like a big boy w/some introduction to ground work.
I am proud of our little crop so far. I hope to see him in all his Glory someday either w/me, or someone else. 🤍

For fun….
Are we at a definite sorrel w/this one? Sire is Epic Leader. Born 5.13.24. I was certain he was sorrel, then he started getting the dark rings around his eyes, but still looks VERY sorrel. I could Google, but this is more fun getting y’alls input 🤠♥️.

It’s been really difficult for me to get a good picture of this filly….she is BUUUSSY 🥰, but she is so perfect and beautiful. I couldn’t be happier w/her conformation and color. Her Dam is a full sister to Jenny Collins ”Strawfly” and a small handful of other standouts. Momma was the most consistent horse I’d ever trained. Not as fast as her siblings, but the exact same trip every single time. She’s definitely a leaner/longer built mare, so we needed a strong bodied cross, and Moscato did the trick. I am in love ♥️♥️.

Barrel Races this wk-end?

Mercy, I am TIRED.
Hauled a horse to see a vet this morning, quick trip to another vet for special meds for a different horse, and a final third stop at Oakridge to bring this cutie and her momma back home.
Horses. My life = Horses. Oh yeah, I’m a full time mom too 😅. Louray and I have been going since 5:30 am, with Mema in tow, and we’re still not done solo at 4 pm. Whatever drives you today, embrace it. That drive can get you anywhere you want ro be. Also, rest. Rest is important. This horse momma-momma needs some rest. 🫶🏼

Looking for a smooth barrel horse for an older lady who just wants to haul and enjoy the sport again. Must be easy going—NO funny business. Will have a wonderful home. Maintenance is ok. No navicular. Budget is 🤏🏼.
What she really wants for Mother’s Day 💁🏼♀️
Lol. Ok, maybe just me…😂🙃
Just marked 16 hooves in open pastures w/my name and number. Babies, broodmares, and more. I got a couple kneecaps to the face, but I did not die. Might need some ice.
Y’all stay safe today 🙏🏼
Selling this saddle for $500.
Maker is unknown. Seat size pictured. Gullet measures 6.5 to 6.75”. Hard to tell w/the sheepskin, which is still in excellent condition. Looking to upgrade for Jeff if anyone has something similar, but newer available 🫶🏼.
Located in Norman, OK.

Dropping another 🐎🐎 IG share here. Hope this can help someone 🤎. A little about LATIGOS: If you’re unfamiliar, a Latigo Strap is the strap that connects the saddle girth, or “cinch”, to the saddle. There is a Latigo Strap on each side of the saddle to secure the girth beneath the horse, therefore securing the saddle in place on top. The two most common types of Latigo Straps are Leather and Nylon. Leather is a natural fiber. It actually has some natural give and stretch when pulled/pushed on. Nylon is a manmade fiber. It has zero give and stretch when pulled/pushed on. I prefer to use Leather Latigos vs Nylon for this reason. Leather Latigos also don’t generally fade or fray over time like Nylon Latigos do, so that’s a plus ✨. The natural give and stretch in a Leather Latigo allows your horse’s rib cage more freedom to expand and contract. This can be very beneficial, especially on competition days, as well as heavy training/work days when your horse might be breathing heavier and/or using it’s body to it’s full athletic potential. I like knowing that my girth is secure enough to keep my saddle in place, but also comfortable enough to keep my horses from getting sore, or galled, and worse—“cinchy”. It is recommended to only use a Nylon Latigo if you are using a natural fiber girth, such as a Mohair, or other natural woven fiber. These type of girths also have some give and stretch to them, therefore making up for the lack thereof with a Nylon Latigo. I personally don’t prefer to use this type of girth, simply because they tend to collect and hold more dirt and moisture which can create the perfect environment for fungis, and then you have a whole different problem 😵💫, lol. I am not against this type of girth, I just don’t prefer them. Unfortunately, most saddles do come with Nylon Latigos, however you can easily remove them, and replace with Leather Latigos yourself. I will make a tutorial on this soon! It is ve
