My girls are making the most out of their quarantine time… and I’m doing best to do the same.

The internet is a wild place- but more-so than ever right now…just know I hear and see you all. Everyone has a place and purpose in this life. I’m going to try to get caught up on clinic thank-you’s and content uploading this week!

Thank you to for these run comparison/breakdowns. I wish the girls up north, where I’m from could appreciate this data enough to pay for it. I’d love to have them every run! This was Fireball’s first big girl run. As many of you know we never got to run in the BFA futurity- due to the EHV1 outbreak. But she did out-turn and outrun (on one straight) ‘s horse- who won the open that day!!!

I’m so proud of my baby horse!!!!! I expect BIIIGGGG things from this mare. I’m also getting fitter and thinner by the day. So when the next event we decide to enter comes around we will be even better!

If you were going to be competing at the BFA- show me the horses you were going run! /comment below/

We all know how excited we were to be there to showcase our work!

Life did its thing but we can still show off our horses!

Mine was a little red roan cow bred mare we call Fireball (Bet Shesa Lady).

BFA Official Update

After the difficult decision to cancel the 40th Anniversary BFA this past week due to the EHV outbreak, and after carefully reviewing every possible option, the BFA Board has made the decision to cancel the remainder of the 2025 show.

For all contestants who were checked in and did not get the chance to compete, entry fee refunds will be issued.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected during this unprecedented situation. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our barrel racing community.

Action beats perfection every time.
It's the little things you do daily that add up too the big things.
So saddle up and get after it! What are you waiting for?

If you go looking for something to be wrong, you’ll find it.

If you go looking for something bad, you’ll find it.

If you go looking for something right, you’ll find it.

If you go looking for the good, you’ll find it.

One choice is better than the other.
Which one will you choose to give energy to?

Since we left the Barrel Futurities of America, and are quarantined— we are currently living on twice -three times daily temp checks, prayers and Synbiont spray…

Ps: my horses much prefer the soft tipped thermometer to the other style. 🤣🤣🤣 mares….

I appreciate all the calls and texts and messages I’m getting.

So far my horses are doing well.

This is not exactly what I wanted to be posting This week — during what should have been our first futurity runs of the 2026 season. But life has funny ways of changing our plans.

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who has horses affected by this. I pray that the rest of you do the right thing by staying home with your horses for a minimum of 14 days (with a test) and 21 days without a test.

I’d like to see the OKC Futurity postponed or cancelled, and the Barrel Futurities of America follow their own rules and refund entry fees…

Any other events that fall within this 21 day window should also be cancelled or postponed -my Dec 6 clinic being one of them. I’ll reach out to my participants today!

The fallout from this virus is yet to be determined but it will have far reaching ramifications, I’m sure. There are a thousand horses going back to their respective homes today.

Temp your horses 2x a day, spray your facilities, and trailers, and tack with Synbiont and stay safe.

Looks like our first futurity run will actually be in 2026.

Hug your horses, friends.

In the meantime, let me show you how well Fireball did! Im so proud of her: tipped barrel and all!
