🛻PARKING INSTRUCTIONS🛻
The pasture is CLOSED due to the rain. I have limited entries to cut back on traffic so there will be PLENTY of parking in the extended lot in the back, IF everyone parks correctly. Leave space for others to come and go.

CAR PARKING ONLY on the privacy fence and I will keep the area in between the trees in the front yard open for CARS ONLY.

The ground is READY for you all! It is not concrete, wet, packed and certainly doesn’t have an issue with the pan.

We have taken 2 days, 4 cans of diesel, and countless hours with an excavator and the drag to break it up, pull dirt from the outside edges, eliminate hills and valleys and all the other things we ALWAYS do before our shows.

We are SO incredibly grateful to all of our riders and we work hard to give you the best ground possible! Thank you to those that understand that our ground, being clay based, is way different than any other ground around here which has sand. You all do an absolute fantastic job making those adjustments to your runs and taking care of your horses and giving them an amazing running experience. 

We strive to give you all a safe and friendly environment with lots of encouragement and the opportunity to run in a different environment. Changes help you grow! 🌽

THIS!!!!! We cannot agree more!!

Listen we are probably going to ruffle some feathers with this post but as producers who have seen it all we feel like this should be talked about.

The American Rodeo was this weekend and seeing young ladies like Taylor Armenta, Hadlee Landers, Tabitha Dyal, and Dusky Lynn Hall competing at 14 years old and under is absolutely incredible. These girls are HANDS. Their talent, dedication, horsemanship, and work ethic are on another level. Seriously mind blowing 🤯
But here’s the part (I’m just going to say it.) Parents need to understand…
These girls are NOT the norm. They are the exception. They and their horses are 100% elite athletes that know their job the nano second they step into that arena.

As producers, we are seeing more and more parents trying to shortcut the process by over mounting under qualified kids on horses they simply are not ready for. And honestly? It’s becoming dangerous.
We’ve seen horrific wrecks. We’ve seen kids completely lose confidence in themselves and their horses. We’ve seen horses learn bad habits because they figured out real quick the rider couldn’t hold them accountable.
Just because a horse is fast does NOT mean it’s the right horse for your child.
And just because your kid wants to run like the girls listed above does not mean they should be thrown on a 1D rocket ship tomorrow.
What happened to the good old solid kid horse? The kind that teaches balance, timing, confidence, and actual HORSEMANSHIP before speed ever enters the conversation?
Because the truth is… the girls competing at that level likely spent years putting in countless hours riding, learning, failing, practicing, and developing their skills. They didn’t wake up one morning and magically become elite horsewomen.
Slow down. Let your kids learn. Let them become horsemen FIRST. Most importantly Invest in lessons. Invest in confidence. Invest in the foundation.
A kid that learns correctly on the right horse will eventually become way more successful than one that gets terrified, hurt, or loses confidence because the adults pushed too hard too fast.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with dialing it back and building great horsemen before building great barrel racers.

Thanks for coming to our Ted Talk
