Chevy’s exhibition from Thursday night! Such an improvement in confidence lately. He was a restart back when I got him and it’s been a little bit of a slow boat to china. His first expo was me hand walking him through the pattern and every once in awhile we have to revert back to that. It’s all about meeting them where they need to be at though, he’ll run through just fine at home but he lacks confidence in the warm up pen with other horses, in the arena by himself, behind the barrels etc. This night we walked from the trailer to the arena with tractors, equipment, people, and horses everywhere, on his back. Warmed up without panic, or laziness. Went into the main arena and completed two exhibitions without him shutting down! By the end I know he’s going to be something special and worth the wait! #latafame #johnfame #sugarbars Rocky Mountain Girls this one wouldn’t be here without your products!
Run through on Big Frenchy!
I got to take Jake for a little spin today to work on some alley issues! All I have to say is Erica has done a fantastic job making this big guy into what he is!
Melissa Mackey memorial race Hollywoods Red Boon
Middle of the 4D for Cas’s first run back after BBR, threw the spurs back on and I think that did the trick!
Charlie!
Charlies 6th entry yesterday! Bottom of the 4D and ran .2 off of Cas’s normal time there! Working on building confidence and keeping straight lines in slow work, as much as I love to give the tractor and crowd that extra love on the way to third😅😂 So unbelievably proud of my girl and am stoked for the Destry’s race coming up in June!
As always thank you to my sponsors!
Jesus for everything
@rockymountaingirls for the products that keep me and my horses going
@mtnmnbrand for your ongoing support and awesome hats!
I have so much to share!! And sooooo many amazing things happening right now, thank you Jesus! This was mr studly’s (still picking the perfect name it just hasn’t come to me yet lol, name suggestions welcome!) first ride back in quite some time, I don’t have an arena at home so I’ve been hauling him with and seeing how he handles everything. I decided last night to just see how it went and… not only was this his first ride back, his first time hauling to any new arena and riding inside, under lights for the first time, but with a mare in the arena he handled it like a seasoned pro and never made a single peep! I am so excited for my boys future and hopefully I will be able to work towards getting some mares bred in the next few years. John Fame x Willies Titanic (sugar bars)
Cas’s first run from BBR!
Charlie handling the Better Barrel Races World Finals up in Ok behind the scenes like an old pro! Only her fifth time entering!
Big man Chevy figuring it out! Not quite sure how to use that booty he has yet or that there isn’t a boogie man behind the barrels sometimes but when he puts it all together it’s going to be something special❤️🔥
This right here had me smiling like a little kid all the way home last night! Charlie’s first run of the year! .5 off of Cas even with that whole wild ride. I’m definitely going to have to learn some trust when we’re barreling into the side of a barrel, that she’ll actually get me around it and not smack into it😂 #ipanicked #idontwantbruisedshinsforbbr
I decided last minute to enter the Noko Shootout in Hamilton TX last Saturday to get one more run between his weeknight runs before BBR and I’m so glad we did! The boy pulled a check out of 380+ entries❤️
