When did you start barrel racing?
I started barrel racing at the age of 9.
 

Are you involved in any other equine events? Not at this time.  At the Age of 6 I started riding a pony named Blondie in local horse shows in Western Pleasure.  At 7 I moved up to a big horse and started participating in local Playdays,  in all of the events western pleasure, cloverleaf and straightaway barrels, pole bending, flag race. At 9 I started riding Western Pleasure at Quarter Horse and 4-H shows. I also showed Horsemanship, showmanship at the 4-H shows.  But at the current time the only equine event I am involved in is Barrel Racing.

What was the name of your favorite horse and tell us a little about it. I have been very fortunate to have several  nice horses since I have started riding, just to list a few Cowboy Barshone and Beth’s Doc Solano both Western Pleasure Horses .  Some of my most recent favorite horses are  Royal Quick Maid, Tee’s Windy Lynn which are the two mares I am currently hauling. I guess I listed all of the above due to I have done most of my winning on them.
