Happy Friday everyone!
Let’s change things up for our next Barrel Race/event!
We are going to offer a clinic during the day with the well known Louis Fincher as your host and jackpot barrel races at night that will be open to everyone to join! This is filled with opportunities for all of you that need some guidance and training with your horse as well as some fun filled barrel racing at night where you can test your skills while the trainer/host is with you. There will be limited space for the clinic so reserve your spot asap. More information on the nightly jackpots coming soon. Remember these will be open to everyone as well as clinic participants. This is a brand new covered arena and we are excited to showcase it as well as Louis’ skills and then we have the fast, fun filled barrel races at night. This is going to be so fun! Be sure to mark your calendars and plan to come join us. Louis Fincher
