I am 43yrs old and have been riding all my life, I grew up riding performance and then switched to barrel racing and pole bending! I am a member of NWBHA and I won the 1D saddle in 08!! I was very proud of my mare because this was her 1st year barrel racing and we kicked butt!! My gelding that I got as a 2yr old is now 17 He has proved  himself quite well many times holding multiple records! We won 3 saddles in 2013 and at least 2 a year since then! I now ride a mare named Remi. She's coming along nicley and even won her first saddle last year!
