It helps to calm my nerves - knowing the horses are prepared for this. thought and taking care of a sweet baby would be wonderful while she took a chance on reviving her old dream of becoming a professional barrel racer. Kelly Conrado told me once to ‘trust my training,’ so that is what I always tell myself before I enter the arena. Horses feel your emotions, so if we are nervous and uncertain of what’s going to happen, so are they. It’s something I have had to work on constantly. Each horse has their own personality and quirks, which was/is good for my mentality and allows me to learn in myself and patience.Ī tip I would give other barrel racers and competitors is to learn how to control your nerves before a run.
During this time, I had to step back, but it allowed me to become more in-tune with them while allowing me to heal. Tragedy struck in 2017, which tested my personal strength but my saving grace through it all were my horses. Later, marrying my late husband allowed me to rodeo professionally and ride different horses. I then competed in high school rodeo and excelled in the barrel racing and pole bending on one horse, Stroker - which then I took him to college with me for two years to compete. I rode everyday practicing barrels and poles in the middle of a pasture. My parents were definitely dedicated in taking me to local gymkhanas, team pennings, barrel races, and little britches rodeos.
