Let’s completely ignore that second barrel 😅 gosh I just need to keep my hands off her face and let her work, but this girl is showing lots of improvement 😊❤️ let’s just just say… she loves to go fast

Figuring it out slowly ☺️ #dcfrenchfriedbug
Thanks for the ride Ellie! Just started going to the right and still trying to figure out our spots. My goal was to nail first because our last run we ran almost up the wall, but then we literally nailed 2nd 🤪 ready for the next one
Day 1 of Spring Spectacular and Ellie May gave me a solid run! Ready and excited to come back tomorrow more confident 😊#barrelracing #driftwoodsbella
My first and probably only Tik Tok 😂 (maybe) #barrelracing
Getting back to it 😊 #driftwoodsbella
Played around with Ellie May too, but was too lazy for a saddle 😅 she was not the happiest I pulled her away from her simple life today. #driftwoodsbella
(Ignore the outfit 😝) It’s starting.. I’ve been learning all of Nova’s quirks lately and we are starting to get the whole arena work stuff. This is our second day learning to be upright and soft around a barrel with her big girl bit. This horse has not been the easiest when it comes to arena work and her lope was far from smooth when we first started, but this is a complete turn around. She’s been picking up her leads like a breeze and I’ve learned to ignore her 3 year old goofiness as long as she is controlled. I hope to start her exhibitions by the end of 2021! #DCFrenchFriedBug #frenchmansguy #alivenfiren #firewaterflit #3yearold
Good feed, good genes, and a momma who loves to brush on her constantly (plus I use canter conditioning spray on her mane and tail and it’s amazing for keeping her hair soft throughout the week!) ❤️💁♀️ #purina #mvp #dcfrenchfriedbug
“Thanks mom for the easy to-go snack” 😂 I guess she didn’t mind carrying things back to the trailer.
This weekend was a test when it came to trusting my horse! Got to go to a working ranch and move cows, go up and down some of the most sketchy terrain I've ever been on! Steep hills (having to literally let my horse skid down loose dirt to get though a wooded hill), rocks, logs, under trees, cross creeks, though muck and bogs, getting cattle to cross roads, ect! It wasn't for the faint of heart, but oh boy it was an experience! I have a lot of faith in my horse after this weekend. #ranchy #horses #devilsholeranch
One of my runs from Saturday @ High Island Arena. I've been focusing on my approach to the first barrel since we always seem to blow past it at this arena. I didn't really push her, but it was smooth which is what I was aiming for and we still got a 16.8 and landed us in the 3D. #driftwoodsbella #barrelracing2019 #sheissohonest
